Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian were among the celebrities who attended the Super Bowl over the weekend.
The Formula 1 driver and the reality TV star were seen sitting together during the game on February 8th, where the Seattle Seahawks secured a win against the New England Patriots.
While the teams competed for the championship at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, a lip reader offered insights into an exchange between Kardashian, 45, and Hamilton, 41, in the stands.
Speculation about the duo potentially dating intensified after a video of them at the event gained widespread attention.
The seven-time World Champion and the star of The Kardashians seemed to be attending the United States’ largest sporting event together, marking what some describe as their debut public appearance as a pair.
Although neither has confirmed the dating rumors, lip reader Nicola Hickling, who started LipReader, provided an interpretation of their conversation during the game.
If the interpretation is accurate, the relationship could be serious.
Nicola shared with the Daily Mail that Hamilton reportedly told Kardashian: “No I don’t take just any girl to my mom, I mean you’re gonna meet someday, she is very excited to see you.”
How did Kardashian reply to this?
Nicola noted that Kardashian appeared to ‘shuffle uncomfortably in her seat’ before replying with a simple “okay.”
Elaborating on the interaction, Nicola commented: “Firstly, there is the pose that registers undivided attention between them, which is a form of non-verbal stroke when you’re on a date.
“Kim actually leans back to take in Lewis visually as he speaks and this flattering ‘stroke’ produces a ‘purr’ response from him which is visible in the way his facial features soften and he talks through a smile of pleasure.”
This sighting has naturally fueled rumors that the two are romantically linked.
After her divorce from rapper Kanye ‘Ye’ West, Kardashian was publicly linked to Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson. The couple went public with their relationship in November 2021 but ended things in 2022.
Kardashian was later rumored to be dating NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., though they reportedly parted ways after six months together.
Hamilton previously had an on-again, off-again relationship with Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls from 2007 to 2015 and has been linked to Rita Ora since then.
