Kanye West Allegedly ‘Jealous’ Of Kim Kardashian’s New Romance

Speculation surrounding Kim Kardashian‘s rumored new romance has reportedly drawn a reaction from Kanye West. A source claims the rapper is “jealous” despite having moved on from their relationship.

Kardashian has been seen several times with racing driver Lewis Hamilton, and despite not confirming their romance, the two appeared affectionate during several public outings.

Rumors about a budding relationship between Kardashian and Hamilton began in early February, when the two were spotted in Paris. They were seen a few more times in public afterward.

An insider told the Daily Mail that West isn’t thrilled with this new development. “Ye is jealous, yup, it feels weird for him. It’s always strange for him to see his ex-wife out with another man. It felt weird with Pete Davidson, and now it feels weird with Lewis Hamilton,” per the unnamed source.

West and Kardashian were married for seven years and share four children. The latter filed for divorce in February 2021, and it was finalized in late 2022. West then married his wife, Bianca Censori, in December 2022.

“That used to be Ye’s family, now Lewis is there, it’s hard to see,” the source added.

Kardashian and Hamilton have known each other for a while, having been spotted at different events since 2014.

After their Paris meet-up, Kardashian and Hamilton attended Super Bowl LX togetheron February 8. A source told PEOPLE that Kardashian has “always liked” the driver, adding, “She’s excited about their romantic connection… He makes her feel safe, and she genuinely enjoys spending time with him.”

Neither of them has confirmed nor denied the status of their relationship. As reported by TMZ, a reporter asked Hamilton if he enjoyed the football game or his companion more at the Super Bowl, and he refused to answer, saying, “It’s my private life. I’m not talking about that.”

As previously reported by The Blast, the reality TV star is carefully navigating her new relationship. An unnamed source said Kardahian and Hamilton don’t want to “trigger” West, adding, “They are concerned about what Kanye would think about this, since he was friends with Lewis in the past.”

The source said that is the reason why they are choosing to keep things casual, going on to say, “He’s not looking to settle down with anyone, including Kim. Lewis isn’t looking to be a stepdad. [He’s] not looking to be the ‘it’ couple with Kim.”

In 2021, months after filing for divorce, Kardashian began dating comedian Pete Davidson.

In January 2022, a snippet from West’s song “Eazy” was leaked ahead of its release, wherein the rapper was heard saying, “God saved me from the crash / Just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s a-s.” The video for the song featured an animated version of Davidson being kidnapped and buried by West.

The two had a back-and-forth on social media, and in March, screenshots of their texts were leaked. When West asked him where he was, Davidson replied, “In bed with your wife.”

The comedian pleaded with the rapper to “handle these matters privately,” urging him to get help for his mental health. “You have no idea how nice I’ve been to you despite your actions towards me,” Davidson wrote.

Davidson and Kardashian called it quits after nine months together.

Despite claims of jealousy, West seems content with his relationship with Censori, whom he married in 2022. However, their union also had its ups and downs

As previously reported by The Blast, the architect considered leaving her husband several times but ultimately decided to stay with him.

In January, West apologized for his antisemitic remarks, explaining that he struggled with bipolar disorder, which he claimed he got after being in a car accident. The rapper said Censori urged him to seek professional help, saying, “We sought out what’s been effective and stabilizing course correction in my regime from a rehab facility in Switzerland.”

Censori, meanwhile, has spoken out about West, explaining that she was never controlled by her husband regarding her provocative outfits. Instead, it’s a collaboration between them. “I didn’t marry my husband because I wanted some sort of platform. I married him because I love him,” she added.
