Kim Kardashian and Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton are once again making headlines after sharing affectionate photos from a recent tropical holiday.
The pictures showed the two spending time together on the beach and enjoying a family getaway, adding to the attention around their relationship.
Kim also shared photos featuring members of her family and children, while Hamilton posted moments from the trip. Recent reports have described the pair as dating, with their relationship becoming more public in 2026.
From old friends to a reported romance
Kim and Lewis have known each other for more than a decade, having been seen together at events over the years.
Dating speculation grew in early 2026, with reports linking them romantically after several outings.
They were subsequently seen together at major events and on holidays, while social-media posts have further increased interest in their relationship.
Their recent family holiday has particularly caught attention as the couple appeared increasingly comfortable sharing personal moments publicly.
Kim’s first marriage was at the age of 19
Before becoming a global reality television star, Kim married music producer Damon Thomas in 2000 when she was 19.
The marriage ended in 2003. Years later, Kim spoke about her younger self and described how dependent she had been in relationships at that age.
Their marriage remains an important part of her early personal life, long before Keeping Up With the Kardashians turned her family into one of the world’s most famous celebrity families.
Her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries made headlines
Kim began dating NBA player Kris Humphries in 2010. Their relationship moved quickly, with the couple getting engaged and marrying in an extravagant ceremony in 2011.
The wedding became a major television event, but Kim filed for divorce after just 72 days of marriage.
The short marriage led to massive media attention and public speculation about the relationship. Their divorce also took considerably longer to resolve than the marriage itself.
Marriage to Kanye West and their eventual divorce
Kim’s third marriage was to rapper and fashion designer Kanye West.
The pair had known each other for years before beginning a relationship in 2012. They welcomed their first child, North, in 2013 and married in Florence, Italy, in 2014.
The couple went on to have four children—North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm. However, their marriage later faced difficulties, and Kim filed for divorce in 2021.
She was declared legally single in 2022, with a settlement finalised later that year.
The controversy surrounding her leaked private video
One of the earliest and biggest controversies of Kim’s career was the release of a private video involving her and singer Ray J in 2007.
The episode received enormous media attention and coincided with the launch of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. For years, Kim and her family faced questions and criticism over the controversy and its impact on her rise to fame.
Pepsi advertisement faced major backlash
Kim faced criticism in 2017 after appearing in a Pepsi advertisement that showed her seemingly resolving a protest by handing a police officer a can of the drink.
The advert was criticised for appearing to trivialise real-life protest movements. Pepsi later withdrew the campaign and apologised following the backlash.
Her dispute with Taylor Swift became a major celebrity feud
Kim also became involved in one of Hollywood’s most talked-about celebrity feuds with singer Taylor Swift.
The controversy centred on Kanye West’s song Famous and whether Swift had approved a lyric about her.
Kim later shared clips of a phone call involving West and Swift, which intensified the dispute. The controversy continued for years and divided fans on social media.
The Marilyn Monroe dress also divided opinion
At the 2022 Met Gala, Kim wore a historic dress previously worn by Marilyn Monroe.
Her appearance became controversial after reports and photographs raised concerns about the dress’s condition after the event.
The debate continued online, with many people questioning whether such an important piece of fashion history should have been worn again.
A new chapter in Kim’s love life?
After three marriages, highly public break-ups and years of controversies, Kim’s relationship with Lewis Hamilton has become one of the most discussed chapters of her personal life. Their recent holiday photos have further increased public interest, especially as both have appeared more open about spending time together.
Whether their relationship continues to grow remains to be seen, but for now, Kim and Lewis’s beach photographs have ensured that their romance is firmly in the spotlight.
