Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian’s connection is growing stronger.
“They are going strong and really happy. Lewis is head over heels and those closest to him believe he has finally met his match,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “He has waited over a decade for his dream girl and is crazy about her.”
The insider adds that Hamilton, 41, “has been FaceTiming” Kardashian, 45, “regularly from the paddock.” While they can’t be together in person as much as they like, Kardashian has been “incredibly supportive” of Hamilton’s “demanding F1 schedule.”
“They are both very committed to making things work no matter how long the distance is or how busy they are,” the source shares. “Because their relationship started with a friendship first, those closest to them believe this could be endgame for them both.”
Kardashian and Hamilton have known each other for quite some time, as the pair have been spotted together at multiple events and functions since 2014. However, things seemingly shifted earlier this year after they were seen spending time at Estelle Manor in Oxfordshire, England.
Amid the rumors of a potential romance, Kardashian opened up about her struggles to date as a single mom. (The Kardashians star shares four children, North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 6, with ex-husband Kanye West.)
“I just feel like my kids need me. It’s really hard when I have to put them to bed every night. I get them up. I take them to school. I get them ready. They sleep in my bed,” Kim explained in a January episode of sister Khloé Kardashian’s “Khloé in Wonderland” podcast. “I haven’t had time [to date] — and I’m OK with that. I thought, ‘You know what? I’m going to be studying. I won’t have time. When I’m done, I’ll open myself up.’ I opened myself up. But it’s just, I haven’t found anyone. And that’s OK.”
Shortly after her comments about putting dating on pause, Kim and Hamilton were seen together at a hotel in Paris and at Super Bowl LX. At the time, an insider told Us that the twosome had gone on “a few dates” but things were just “casual.”
Earlier this month, Hamilton and Kim took a getaway to Arizona. An additional source exclusively told Us that the duo had a “break in their schedules” and wanted to “spend more time together and really get to know each other.”
“It’s going well, and Kim has been genuinely enjoying her time with Lewis,” the insider explained, noting that they were still “taking it slow”.
The source added that while Hamilton has not met Kim’s children yet, the Skims founder is “open” to the idea.
“Lewis is such a great guy and has really been courting her and treating her right. He’s been making all the plans and making sure she is taken care of,” the insider continued. “Everyone around her thinks it’s really sweet and what she deserves. Kim has had such a relaxed aura recently in all aspects of her life. Her mindset has totally changed. She’s not forcing anything, just letting it unfold naturally.”
