Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton make their relationship official, and they did it in the most exciting way possible. On April 6, 2026, Lewis Hamilton posted a viral Instagram Reel that left millions of fans stunned. The video ended with Kim Kardashian sitting in the passenger seat of a rare Ferrari F40, smiling and saying, “That’s insane!” The internet exploded instantly.
The Viral Tokyo Drift Video That Started It All
Hamilton shared the video on Monday, April 6, captioned “HERE WE GO AGAIN 🇯🇵 TOKYO DRIFT VOL. III.” The Reel showed him speeding through the Daikoku Parking Area in Tokyo, Japan, in his red Ferrari F40, set to the song “Victory Lap” by Skepta, PlaqueboyMax, and Fred Again.
Moreover, at the very end of the video, smoke from the wheels cleared to reveal Kim Kardashian sitting in the passenger seat, smiling in amazement as she said, “That is sick!” and “That’s insane!” Heavy
Hamilton also re-shared the clip on his Instagram Stories, writing simply: “Wait is over.” HELLO! Fans rushed to the comments section with reactions like “Hamilton post of the year” and “The most unexpected ending yet.” This was not just a car video. It was Hollywood’s biggest couple announcement of 2026.
How Did Kim and Lewis First Meet?
The romance did not happen overnight. In fact, it built slowly over several months. Kim and Lewis first sparked dating speculation in January 2026, when they were spotted at the same New Year’s Eve party in Aspen, Colorado.
Furthermore, on February 8, the two made a surprise appearance together at the 2026 Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, during Bad Bunny’s Grammy-winning halftime performance – and they broke the internet.
Then, on March 22, a video surfaced on social media showing Hamilton and Kardashian walking the streets of Tokyo together, just after the Formula 1 season-opening races in Melbourne and Shanghai. So, by the time April arrived, fans had already been watching this romance build for months.
The Tokyo Family Trip: A Big Step Forward
On March 25, a source confirmed that Kardashian and Hamilton were vacationing together in Tokyo alongside her three younger children, Saint (10), Chicago (9), and Psalm (6), who she shares with ex-husband Kanye West, along with her eldest daughter North (12).
Additionally, Kim’s sister Khloé Kardashian also joined the trip with her children, True (7) and Tatum (3). This was clearly more than a casual date. Taking her kids and her sister along shows that Kim takes this relationship seriously.
A source close to the couple told PEOPLE: Hamilton is “an easygoing guy with great energy,” and that Kim’s “family likes him.” The source added: “Kim’s very into him. They are both busy with their careers, but see each other as much as possible. It’s more than just a casual connection.“
F1 World Takes Notice: “Keeping Up With the Hamiltons”
Even the Formula 1 paddock got in on the fun. F1 driver Esteban Ocon playfully teased the seven-time world champion during a paddock interview by saying “Keeping Up With the Hamiltons” a clear nod to Kim’s famous reality show. Fellow F1 drivers Lando Norris and Gabriel Bortoleto also joined in the joke.
This shows how big this relationship has become, not just in Hollywood, but in the world of motorsport too.
