Lewis Hamilton is straightforward in addressing questions about his rumored relationship with Kim Kardashian as he gears up for race week
The 41-year-old Formula 1 star is currently in Bahrain, preparing for his debut with Ferrari.
Despite the excitement surrounding the Bahrain International Circuit, much of the buzz has been about Hamilton potentially joining the Kardashian family after their viral joint appearance at the Super Bowl on February 8.
Although their relationship status has yet to be confirmed, a lip reader recently stirred up more speculation by claiming they discussed meeting his mom while seated together in the stands.
Being seen together at such a prominent event naturally led to immediate rumors about them being together romantically.
People were eager to know the truth, but Hamilton was not entertaining these questions.
Sky Sports F1 reporter Ted Kravitz approached the seven-time champion about the rumors and shared the interaction on X, expressing his reluctance to question the racer on his personal life.
“I know what you’re thinking,” Kravitz said in the clip, adding: “Kravitz, you chickened out of asking him about his new relationship with Kim Kardashian.”
According to Kravitz, Hamilton had already addressed the question, allegedly telling the reporter: “It’s my private life. I’m not talking about that.”

“So that’s me told,” Kravitz remarked, acknowledging: “Quite right. He was never going to give me an answer, though, was he?”
As for the speculation surrounding their relationship, lip reader Nicola Hickling, who founded LipReader, shared with the Daily Mail that Hamilton seemed to say to 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.”
Reportedly, Kardashian appeared to ‘shuffle uncomfortably in her seat’, before ‘replying with a simple okay’.
Nicola explained: “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.”
