Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton shared a fresh set of never-before-seen photos with girlfriend Kim Kardashian on Instagram Friday, offering fans another look into their relationship, according to Page Six.
The carousel of images posted by the seven-time world champion captured casual, intimate moments between the couple, including the two of them going on a walk together and Kardashian posing playfully next to a Collie dog. In one photo, Kardashian appeared chic in a black coat and matching beret while flashing a peace sign, with Hamilton visible in the background posing alongside Glenn Close, Kardashian's co-star from the show All's Fair. Hamilton captioned the post simply, "Resting, restoring, recharging," accompanied by battery emojis, Page Six reported.
The new pictures arrive less than a month after Hamilton posted another round of photos featuring himself, Kardashian, and her four children, North, 13, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 7, whom the reality star shares with ex-husband Kanye West. That earlier post, captioned "Hold your people close" with a hugging emoji, documented a vacation the group took together. Kardashian responded to that post by liking it and leaving a heart emoji in the comments, and she also shared her own glimpse of the same trip, referring to those pictured as her "favorite people," according to Page Six.
A Decade-Long Friendship Turns Romantic
Hamilton, 41, and Kardashian, 45, have known each other for more than ten years, but their relationship shifted into romantic territory more recently. According to Page Six, the spark between them ignited after both attended Kate Hudson's New Year's Eve party in Aspen, Colorado. In the weeks that followed, the pair were spotted together in Paris and London, fueling speculation about a budding romance before they made things official in a very public way.
That confirmation came in February, when Hamilton and Kardashian stepped out together at the Super Bowl, marking their first major public appearance as a couple. The relationship then took another step forward in June, when Hamilton posted a video to his substantial social media following showing the two of them enjoying a spirited drive through the streets of Tokyo, effectively making their romance Instagram official.
That same month, Hamilton publicly referred to Kardashian as his girlfriend for the first time while speaking to reporters at the Monaco Grand Prix, one of the most prestigious and closely watched events on the Formula 1 calendar. "It's amazing to have her come this weekend," Hamilton told reporters at the time, according to Page Six. "I don't really know what else to say. It's amazing to have good people around you and good people supporting you. She does that for me every day."
The Monaco race weekend also produced some of the most talked-about public moments of their relationship. Hamilton was photographed blowing Kardashian a kiss after finishing the race in second place, and cameras caught the couple sharing a kiss during the three-day event, images that quickly circulated across entertainment outlets and social media.
A Relationship Playing Out Largely On Instagram
Since going public, much of what fans know about the Hamilton-Kardashian relationship has come directly from the couple's own social media posts rather than staged interviews or red carpet appearances. Hamilton, who boasts one of the largest fan bases in professional sports thanks to his decorated Formula 1 career, has used his platform sparingly but pointedly, releasing curated batches of personal photos every few weeks rather than posting constantly about his personal life.
The pattern suggests a couple that is choosing to reveal their relationship on their own terms and timeline. The most recent post, featuring the walk, the Collie dog, and the appearance by Glenn Close, continues that approach, giving fans another carefully selected glimpse rather than a steady stream of updates. Kardashian, for her part, has generally engaged with Hamilton's posts through likes and brief comments rather than posting extensively about the relationship herself, based on the pattern described by Page Six.
The inclusion of Kardashian's children in the vacation photos posted last month also signaled a deepening of the relationship, suggesting that Hamilton has become more integrated into her family life beyond public appearances at sporting events. North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm, who Kardashian shares with West, have occasionally appeared in the reality star's social media content, but their presence in Hamilton's own posts marked a notable moment in how the couple has chosen to present their relationship publicly.
For Hamilton, the relationship has unfolded during a period when he remains one of the most recognizable figures in motorsport, having built his career and public profile over more than a decade and a half in Formula 1. His comments in Monaco about having "good people" around him reflected a driver speaking candidly about the personal support system behind his continued competition at the sport's highest level.
As of Friday's post, neither Hamilton nor Kardashian had offered any additional public comment beyond the images and captions themselves, leaving fans to interpret the relationship's trajectory through the same lens the couple has used all along, brief captions and carefully chosen photographs shared periodically with their combined tens of millions of followers.
