Lewis Hamilton dating Kim Kardashian: all these women went before her
Formula 1 driver by day, gala co-chair by night. Whether you’re talking about his musical alter ego XNDA, clothing lines, or the fact that he has been knighted: that Lewis Hamilton is a busy bee. Even when it comes to the ladies. Although he claims to be ‘super busy with his work and happy being single’, that doesn’t mean this guy isn’t dating up a storm. And not with ordinary Brits, but with A-list celebs. Curious about who he has shared a bed with? Just wait, because this will surprise you. Really everyone who is someone is linked to him:
1. Danielle Lloyd (2002)
Ah. The 2000s. When Lewis was still a rookie in motorsport. In the year of the cargo pants, he was with model and TV personality Danielle Lloyd. They were an item for half a year after meeting in a nightclub. “We were both out with friends and there was a spark. Then we exchanged numbers,” Danielle later told the Daily Mail. After those six months, she went back to Liverpool, and he stayed in London. The fun was over, but they have always remained friends.
2. Jodia Ma (2003-2007)
Not high school sweethearts, but college sweethearts: Lewis and Jodia met while studying in Cambridge. They were together for four years, but as he became more famous, things went wrong. They both wanted to focus more on their careers, and a relationship didn’t fit into that. Just like with Danielle, they have always remained friends. She even surprised him at a race in Shanghai. Shortly after their breakup, the driver was spotted with Sara Ojjeh, the daughter of McLaren boss Mansour Ojjeh.
3. Nicole Scherzinger (2007-2015)
But nothing came of that Sara, because he was having a great time with Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2007. They were supposed to have met at the MTV Awards and dated on and off for nearly eight years. There were even rumors that they were engaged, but it didn’t help. “It’s terrible that it didn’t work out between us,” she said in a statement after the news leaked. “It was one of the hardest decisions we made, but we did it together. We still love each other and wish each other the best.”
4. Winnie Harlow (2016-2017)
After a lot of flames and rumors here and there, it was time for Lewis to have a real relationship again. It was never confirmed that they were really together, but the two were spotted together all year long. In London, Cannes, Monaco, Monte Carlo, and Greece – yeah sorry, but if you spend that much time together and walk the red carpet, it can’t be anything else?
Rumors, rumors, and more rumors
I hear you thinking: this list isn’t that long? Why dedicate a whole article to ‘all of Lewis Hamilton’s exes’? Well, let me explain that to you. Besides his long-term relationships, Lewis has a knack for scandals. Romance rumors, quick flings. Or well, nothing ‘confirmed’, but rumors about various women seem to follow him wherever he goes. Sit down, because here are a lot:
5. Gigi Hadid (2015)
Eh what? Yes, there were a lot of rumors back then that he had a romance with the 10-year younger Gigi. Now she has nothing against age differences (like Bradley Cooper), but whether it was really something we don’t know. That they were close is certain, because boy, they were often spotted together.
6. Rihanna (2015)
In the same year that it ended with Nicole, and there were rumors surrounding Gigi, our good friend was spotted with another lady: Rihanna. Before she became blissfully happy with ASAP Rocky, she had a cozy time with him on her yacht in Barbados and partying in New York. Lewis claims that they were always just friends, but you never know.
7. Kendall Jenner (2015)
As if he wasn’t already the face of rumors, Lewis was linked to another celeb this year: Kendall Jenner. Just after the Rihanna ghost stories came out, she popped back up. They were seen together a lot, but just like with Rihanna he maintained that they were friends.
8. Barbara Palvin (2016)
Not long after, it was time for Barbara Palvin, whom he met at the Cannes Film Festival. She attended various Grand Prixs more often, and they were spotted by paparazzi enough. Only, just like all those other flings, this didn’t last.
9. Rita Ora (2016)
Again in the same year, it seemed for a moment that he had a romance with singer Rita Ora. They even wore matching outfits. Still, they never admitted that they had something.
10. Sofia Richie (2017)
This year, it was thought for a moment that none other than Sofia Richie was his latest conquest. Before she met her soulmate, Elliot Grainge, she was seen with Lewis at Paris Fashion Week and there were plenty of pictures of the two close together. It is said that they went out a few times, but this also led nowhere.
11. Nicki Minaj (2018)
Okay okay, this relationship was never really made public. But, work with me: they were constantly flirting, vacationing together in Dubai, and even shared photos of each other on social media. Hello, that says enough, right?
12. Camila Kendra (2021)
A few years later, the rumors found Lewis again. We had just come out of the corona pandemic when Camila Kendra posted a selfie in his house. Fans were sure: this is his trophy wall. Yet her manager said they were just friends. Very contradictory, Lewis took her on a family trip in Europe. Here ‘she didn’t sleep in his house’. Yeah. We believe that too, Camila. Sure.
13. Shakira (2023)
Two years later, it was time for Shakira to take over the new role of Lewis’ rumor. They were seen together, she flew all the way to Barcelona to watch his Grand Prix, after which they went out to dinner together. But (you can already feel a theme, I guess) she later said that this was purely platonic. “What space do I have for a man right now?” Yeah okay, true Shakira. True.
14. Sofia Vergara (2025)
Then we finally arrived in 2025. Rumors about flings follow Lewis like a breadcrumb trail, because this year he made headlines again. He was said to be dating Sofia Vergara. They were being ‘flirty’ during a lunch: Sofia was talking so much that she didn’t even touch her food. Later a source indicated that this was just a casual lunch with a large group of friends, and ‘definitely not a date’. Things aren’t really going well for our Lewis, huh?
15. Violetta Bert (2025)
And then the very last one: Violetta Bert. I don’t know her, but since May this Russian model has been linked to Lewis. They were together in a nightclub in Monaco and at the Grand Prix. In August, gossip queen DeuxMoi announced that the two were together on a yacht in Greece. Mama Mia, things are heating up for Lewis. Maybe then, because nothing has been confirmed.
So there. That was quite a list. Since Violetta, no one has been seen on Lewis’s arm. Could this really be the match made in heaven for the 40-year-old? We’ll see.
