Paris has seen its share of headline-making couples, but the latest names swirling through the rumor mill feel like a crossover episode nobody predicted: Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton.
According to tabloid reporting that’s been echoed and partially supported by more mainstream entertainment coverage, the SKIMS founder and the Formula 1 superstar have been spending time together in Europe — including what’s being described as a “third date” in Paris during a rapid-fire stretch of meetups. But before “City of Love” becomes “hard launch,” there’s one big thing to keep straight: most of the most romantic-sounding details are not independently confirmed.
Here’s the clearest picture of what’s been reported — and what still sits firmly in the “interesting, but unverified” pile.
What’s confirmed by major outlets: they were in Paris at the same time — and arrived together
The strongest verified thread in this story comes from PEOPLE, which reports that Kim Kardashian, 45, and Lewis Hamilton, 41, had “a romantic meetup” in Paris, according to a source.
PEOPLE also notes that the pair were spotted arriving at a hotel in Paris together, referencing video obtained and shared by TMZ. In other words: there’s actual footage of them arriving in the same orbit, and at least one source willing to characterize the meetup as romantic.
That doesn’t automatically equal a committed relationship — but it’s more substantial than “they liked each other’s posts.”
The “third date in Paris” claim: where it comes from, and why it’s fuzzy
The link you provided is from The U.S. Sun, and while I can’t directly access that page due to restrictions, its claims are referenced by other outlets.
For instance, PEOPLE reports that The U.S. Sun described Kardashian and Hamilton meeting up for a weekend getaway at Estelle Manor (a luxury hotel/private members’ club in England’s Cotswolds) before heading to Paris.
Meanwhile, Extra repeats additional “insider” style details attributed to The Sun’s reporting — describing the weekend as “very romantic,” claiming the pair used the facilities, booked a couples massage, and had a private-room dinner to keep things discreet. Extra also relays claims about security staying in the background and guarding the door, which fits the “top-secret date” vibe — but again, these specifics are presented as reported claims, not independently verified facts.
So if you’re looking for a clean way to frame it: the Paris meet-up is well-covered and source-backed; the “third date in three days” narrative and the spa/private-dining details come from tabloid-style sourcing and should be treated with caution.
Why fans are buying it anyway: the timeline is getting louder
Even if you ignore the extra-saucy specifics, the broader pattern is what’s keeping this story alive:
Paris hotel arrival together (video-based, reported widely)
A source calling it “romantic” (PEOPLE)
More chatter that this wasn’t a one-off (weekend getaway claims, then Paris, then more sightings reported in the same news cycle)
When celebrity rumors get repeat sightings, they tend to level up from “fun idea” to “wait… is this real?”
The bigger context: they’ve known each other for years
One reason this pairing feels oddly plausible is that it isn’t completely random. PEOPLE notes Kardashian and Hamilton have been friendly for years and were seen greeting each other publicly as far back as 2014, later appearing at the same events again in 2021 and 2023.
That history matters. It gives the current buzz a “slow-burn turning into something else” narrative — which, frankly, is catnip for the internet.
Kim’s dating comments add fuel — but don’t confirm anything
PEOPLE also points out that Kardashian recently discussed her dating life on Khloé Kardashian’s podcast, describing what she wants in a partner: “good morals and values,” calm, dependable, and accountable — and noting she’d largely been focused on her kids.
It’s not a confirmation about Hamilton. But in celebrity-news math, any time someone says, “I’m open” and then gets seen arriving at a Paris hotel with an A-list athlete, the headlines write themselves.
Hamilton’s side of the spotlight
Hamilton is famously private when it comes to his personal life, even though he’s been linked to other stars in the past. PEOPLE mentions prior high-profile connections and emphasizes that his romantic history has been widely scrutinized over the years.
Which is why the idea of him doing a “quiet luxury” date weekend — if that’s truly what happened — feels on brand.
So… are they “inseparable,” or is this just Paris doing what Paris does?
Right now, the most accurate read is:
Likely true / strongly supported: they were together in Paris, and at least one source described it as romantic.
Possible but unverified: the “third date in three days,” couples massage, and ultra-controlled privacy logistics (these are sourced through tabloid-style reporting repeated by entertainment outlets).
Not confirmed: any official relationship label, exclusivity, or long-term seriousness. (PEOPLE notes Kardashian’s rep did not respond to comment.)
If this turns into a full-blown romance, the next “proof points” will likely look familiar: coordinated appearances, repeat sightings, or a friend-of-a-friend source graduating into something more concrete. Until then, it’s a glossy, high-speed rumor with a surprisingly credible kernel at the center.
