Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton and reality television mogul Kim Kardashian have been photographed together once again, this time enjoying what appeared to be an intimate dinner date at Nobu Malibu. The pair, who have maintained a friendship for more than a decade within Hollywood’s A-list social circles, were captured by paparazzi walking arm-in-arm after exiting Hamilton’s Mercedes-Maybach S-Class outside the upscale oceanfront Japanese restaurant.
Romance rumors surrounding the duo have intensified since February 2026, when reports first emerged of their getaways to the English Cotswolds and Paris. Their relationship speculation reached new heights following their joint appearance at Super Bowl LX, marking their first major public outing together. Despite neither Hamilton nor Kardashian officially confirming any romantic development beyond their longstanding friendship, their recent Malibu outing has fueled further speculation about the true nature of their connection.
The Ferrari driver has been making the most of Formula 1’s extended break after April’s Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix were canceled due to ongoing Middle Eastern conflicts. During this five-week hiatus from racing duties, Hamilton has spent considerable time in the United States, frequently in Kardashian’s company. The pair were previously seen together at Coachella’s opening weekend, watching Justin Bieber’s headline performance, and were reportedly spotted shopping for carpets in Los Angeles.
According to TMZ reports, their latest Malibu encounter was described as “a sleek, two-hour dinner that had romance written all over it.” With Hamilton set to return to F1 action at the Miami Grand Prix after just one more weekend of downtime, fans are eagerly watching to see whether the SKIMS co-founder might make an appearance in the Formula 1 paddock alongside the 41-year-old British driver.
