Kim Kardashian Weighing Ye Concerns Amid New Romance

The rumored couple has reportedly slowed down their alleged romance, with the rapper’s feelings among the top reasons they chose to remain silent.

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have been friends for decades, but recently sparked speculation that they might be taking things further after a few sightings in the United Kingdom and Paris.

Sources very close to the budding romance between the pair revealed that they are pulling out all the stops and being very careful not to anger Ye, given his unpredictable nature and the history of friendship between him and Hamilton.

The rumored couple is well aware of how volatile Ye is and how much the news could trigger a reaction from him, which is why they are keeping this partly casual. Kardashian and Hamilton are just having fun together as they continue their friends-with-benefits relationship.

“Lewis and Kim are not dating exclusively. He’s not looking to settle down with anyone, including Kim,” a first source explained to The Daily Mail, while a second source emphasized that, “Lewis isn’t looking to be a stepdad. [He’s] not looking to be the ‘it’ couple with Kim.”

Kardashian and Hamilton had spent time together last year, before their sighting, at Kate Hudson’s New Year’s Eve party in Aspen, Colorado.

Hamilton and Kardashian fueled speculation when the business mogul’s private jet landed at an airport in the United Kingdom.

The purpose of her visit? It was reported that they were to spend quality time with the Formula 1 race car driver while engaging in several activities at the exclusive Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds.

As shared by The Blast, their time together was very romantic, as the couple enjoyed all the goodies, with bodyguards providing full protection along the way.

Hamilton and Kardashian were first pictured together at the 2014 GQ Men of the Year ceremony alongside her then-husband, Ye, and his then-partner, Nicole Scherzinger.

Kardashian and the racecar driver reportedly enjoyed an intimate dinner at a private room in the hotel and settled in for a spa massage for just the two of them.

The mother-of-four reportedly jetted out of the United Kingdom at 11 am on Sunday morning, and they were later spotted together at an airport lounge in Paris.

The socialite ventured into the high waters of dating in October 2021, and her first call was with Pete Davidson. Kardashian and Davidson were together for a year, during which he bonded with her kids and even got a special tattoo. 

Following their split, the reality star reportedly tried again with pro footballer Odell Beckham, although nothing was confirmed from either quarter. However, a source shared that it was never a serious deal with Kardashian and Beckham, and that both understood this. 

“It was always casual, but Kim has been really busy with other priorities and isn’t putting in as much effort. The dynamic lost its spark, but they are still friends,” the insider stated. The SKIMS founder went through a tumultuous divorce from Ye and eventually put everything behind her in 2022.

Kardashian, on her part, has been pretty vocal about her desire to couple up with a man who has good morals and values, and who exhibits calmness and dependability. In her words: “Takes accountability. I think that’s my number one thing.”

Kardashian is not the first member of the reality TV family the athlete has been rumored to be with. In 2015, the F1 racer had to explain to news sources that he and Kendall Jenner were just friends at the New York Fashion Week.

As noted by The Blast, the F1 champ reinstated his admiration for Jenner and her work ethic, calling her an incredible, level-headed, and focused model who exhibits such grown-up traits despite being a young woman.

Jenner was present at Hamilton’s 2015 event in Monaco alongside her pals Bella and Gigi Hadid, Kylie Jenner, and Hailey Baldwin. Before his latest sighting with Kardashian, Hamilton was linked to actress Sofia Vergara and even Shakira.

Sources close to both women, however, denied ever sharing anything romantic with the athlete, stating that their public sightings were far from dates and that they are just friends.

The mother-of-four gave an update on how far she and Ye have come in repairing their relationship after years of media drama and clashes. Kardashian told Khloé, during her appearance on the “Khloé In Wonderland” podcast, that she was relieved to see how things had turned around in recent months.

Khloé had noted that the former couple may have bonded over North West’s newfound love for producing music, to which Kardashian revealed that it is actually what North and her dad have in common. 

“Even just coming up with stuff, we have to communicate about how North moves through that world and all these opportunities that come her way, and having to filter that and respecting his opinion on the things that go on with his kids is really important,” the SKIMS founder expressed. 

She emphasized that she is a very empathetic person who prioritizes family over everything, despite their differences, but there were times she had to be super protective with the kids.
