American model Kim Kardashian and seven-time British Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton have sparked dating rumors when the two were recently spotted sneaking away on a romantic getaway at the closely guarded Estelle Manor in the UK’s Cotswolds last weekend. They took advantage of the luxury services available on site, from attending a spa session as a couple to enjoying an intimate dinner in their room.
Kim arrived in the country on his private jet and Hamilton arrived by helicopter an hour later. Kim’s car was escorted by another, which was reserved only for her luggage, even for a weekend getaway. When the two arrived at Estelle Manor, Kim sneaked into the property, flanked by two security guards. They remained at the door to keep an eye on Kim and Hamilton’s romantic getaway.
After enjoying their time at the property, they checked out at 11am the next morning. While Hamilton took the front door, Kim had to sneak through a side exit. “You couldn’t ignore that it was her: she had about eight suitcases with her that had her name engraved on the side,” a witness told The Sun. Kim and Hamilton then left together in a car, along with their respective bodyguards.
While it’s not known exactly when Kim and Hamilton started dating, they go back a long time. In fact, Hamilton is believed to be, or at least was, closer to Kim’s ex-husband and rapper. Kanye West. In a memorable moment at the 2014 GQ Awards, then-married Kim and Kanye posed alongside Hamilton and his then-partner, Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger.
Kanye and Hamilton struck up a friendship there, to the point that the latter was also part of Kanye’s Easter celebration with his family, including Kim. Hamilton, all praise for Kanye’s honesty, then said: “He’s frank, to say the least. I love it. He’s electrifying in everything he does. I wish I could be that frank, really. But I’m signed to brands that have an idealistic image that they want to be connected to, so I have to be careful.”
Even after her separation from Kanye in 2021Kim remained friends with Hamilton. He shared a photo of them posing alongside their awards at that year’s Wall Street Journal Innovation Awards. “It is a great honor to be recognized among such an extraordinary group of talent,” he wrote alongside the photo.

Hamilton, who dated Nicole from 2007 to 2015, has also been in a relationship with singer Rita Ora. Meanwhile, Kardashian may have had brief relationships since her divorce, but she has maintained that she would be willing to date only after completing your law degree. In her 2024 manifesto list, she detailed the qualities she was looking for in a man: “Good morals and values. A calm, trustworthy person. Takes responsibility, that’s my top priority.”
