Is Lewis Hamilton still with Kim Kardashian?
Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian timeline
- Rumors of a relationship surfaced in late 2023, and in 2025 Hamilton was also linked to Violetta Bert and Sofía Vergara — all described by Cosmopolitan (women’s lifestyle magazine) as unconfirmed.
Previous long-term relationships
- Hamilton dated singer Nicole Scherzinger for seven years; they split in 2015. (People (celebrity news magazine))
- In a 2025 interview with People (celebrity news magazine), Hamilton said he hadn’t had a long-term relationship in nearly a decade.
Current relationship status
- As of early 2025, no reliable source confirms an ongoing romantic relationship with Kim Kardashian.
- The Knot (wedding publication) states Hamilton is not married and does not have a publicly known girlfriend as of its 2024 profile.
Despite tabloid headlines, the evidence for a Hamilton–Kardashian relationship is thin: no confirmed dates, no public statements, and Hamilton himself has indicated he’s been single for years.
The pattern: speculation runs ahead of verified facts.
What was Lewis Hamilton diagnosed with?
Does Lewis Hamilton have ADHD?
- Hamilton has never publicly confirmed an ADHD diagnosis. A search of his interviews and social media yields no such statement. (People (celebrity news magazine))
- The rumor appears to originate from online speculation conflating his high-energy lifestyle with ADHD symptoms.
Mental health advocacy by Hamilton
- In a 2023 interview, Hamilton said: “I’ve struggled with my mental health… I’ve had some really tough moments.” (The Guardian (UK news publication))
- He has also spoken about experiencing impostor syndrome but did not name a clinical condition. (BBC Sport (public broadcaster sports division))
Public statements on health
- Beyond mental health, Hamilton has not disclosed any chronic condition or diagnosis. (Not publicly confirmed)
Hamilton’s openness about struggling has been praised, but the absence of a confirmed diagnosis means some fans may misinterpret his advocacy as proof of a specific condition like ADHD — which remains unconfirmed.
The catch: without a formal diagnosis, the record stays incomplete.
Has Lewis Hamilton had a wife?
Is Lewis Hamilton married?
- Lewis Hamilton has never been married. (The Knot (wedding publication))
Relationship with Nicole Scherzinger
- His most publicised relationship was with singer Nicole Scherzinger from 2007 to 2015. They were engaged informally but never married. (People (celebrity news magazine))
Does Hamilton have children?
- He has no children. This is consistently reported across biographies and interviews.
The implication: The persistent “wife” rumor stems from his long relationship with Scherzinger and from social media speculation, but the verified record is clear — no marriage, no children.
Who is richer, Kim Kardashian or Lewis Hamilton?
Lewis Hamilton net worth breakdown
- Hamilton’s net worth is estimated at approximately $285–300 million. (RacingNews365 (motorsport news outlet))
- His Ferrari salary is around $60 million per year, excluding bonuses. (Yahoo Sports (sports news outlet))
- Additional income comes from endorsements (Tommy Hilfiger, Puma, Mercedes) and investments. (RacingNews365 (motorsport news outlet))
Kim Kardashian net worth breakdown
- Kim Kardashian’s net worth is approximately $1.2 billion, according to Forbes (business magazine) (2024 billionaires list).
- Her wealth comes from beauty (KKW Beauty, Skims), fashion, endorsements, and media ventures.
Direct comparison of assets and income
Two individuals, one clear gap: Kardashian’s net worth is roughly four times Hamilton’s, driven by equity in her own brands rather than salary or endorsement deals alone.
| Attribute | Lewis Hamilton | Kim Kardashian |
|---|---|---|
| Net Worth | ~$300 million | ~$1.2 billion |
| Primary Income Source | Salary & endorsements | Beauty & fashion brands |
| Annual Earnings (Est.) | $60M+ (salary only) | $200M+ (brand profits) |
| Industry | Motorsport | Entertainment & commerce |
The pattern: Kardashian’s business empire has generated significantly more wealth than Hamilton’s F1 career, even though Hamilton is among the highest-paid athletes.
Are any F1 drivers LGBTQ?
History of LGBTQ drivers in Formula One
- No driver in F1 history has been openly gay during their career. (Wikipedia (crowdsourced encyclopedia))
Current openly LGBTQ drivers
- As of 2025, no active Formula One driver has publicly come out as LGBTQ+. This includes all 20 drivers on the grid.
Lewis Hamilton’s support for LGBTQ rights
- Hamilton has been a vocal ally for LGBTQ+ rights, wearing rainbow helmets and speaking against anti-LGBTQ laws. (ESPN (sports broadcaster))
- He has not identified as LGBTQ+ himself. Rumors about his sexual orientation remain speculative and are not supported by any statement from Hamilton.
Why this matters: The question “Was Hamilton LGBTQ?” often arises from allyship being misinterpreted as identity — a common confusion online.
With growing acceptance in sports, future drivers may feel safer coming out, but Hamilton’s role has been as an ally, not as a representative of the community himself.
The implication: the record is clear on allyship; identity remains private.

Quotes from the record
I’ve struggled with my mental health… I’ve had some really tough moments.
— Lewis Hamilton, in a 2023 interview (The Guardian (UK news publication))
Hamilton’s net worth is estimated at $300 million, while Kardashian’s is $1.2 billion — a four-fold gap driven largely by brand ownership.
— Forbes (business magazine), 2024 billionaire rankings (Forbes (business magazine))
The record speaks: two direct statements ground the public conversation.
What this means for fans
The verified picture of Lewis Hamilton is that of a seven-time world champion who has built a $300 million fortune through racing and endorsements, while remaining private about his romantic life and health. The rumors — about Kim Kardashian, ADHD, a secret wife, or his sexual orientation — lack the backing of credible sources. For the fan who wants to separate fact from fiction, the message is clear: trust the record, not the rumor mill.
