Kim Kardashian Warned About Lewis Hamilton's Past

Kim Kardashian has received a warning about Lewis Hamilton«s »dark side« from friends of his former lover, singer Nicole Scherzinger. According to media reports, Scherzinger»s friends claim that the British driver regularly made her cry during their eight-year relationship.

According to sources close to Hamilton«s ex-girlfriend, the Formula 1 star often canceled meetings with Scherzinger to spend time with his buddies. He also allegedly misled the singer about the seriousness of his intentions. Their romance lasted from 2007 to 2015.

An insider close to Scherzinger said: «Lewis masterfully alternated between hot and cold treatment. One moment he would buy her gifts and say he loved her, the next he would start a huge fight and ignore her for days.» «There was real cruelty in him. She often cried after arguments with him,» the source added. He also noted that Hamilton seemed more interested in spending time with friends than with his girlfriend.

After the final breakup, Scherzinger, now 47, said at the time: «I«m devastated that it didn»t work out. It was the most difficult decision we had to make.»

Kardashian (45) and Hamilton (41) recently went on three dates in three days, sparking rumors of a romance. The latest was in Paris, where they rented the trendy restaurant Aqua Kyoto. Earlier, they met at a secluded spot in the Cotswolds and at a posh London hotel after Kardashian flew to the UK on her private jet.

The SKIMS founder has already returned to Los Angeles, and according to her friends, she has a playful nickname for the driver. Media reports say the reality TV star has dubbed Hamilton «her Russell Wilson» — a nod to the American football star and husband of Ciara, because friends see the Ferrari driver as a «more refined version» of Kanye West.

«Lewis has a very calm demeanor, and he supported Kim through the difficult co-parenting situation with Kanye,» a source added, noting that they have «been talking for years» and that her four children «adore him.» Kardashian and West co-parent North (12), Saint (10), Chicago (8), and Psalm (6).

The star«s mother, Kris Jenner (70), has also publicly praised Hamilton»s achievements and even hinted that he could be a match for her supermodel daughter Kendall Jenner. However, an insider said: «Lewis has been friends with the family for a long time and enjoys their company and entrepreneurial spirit. But Lewis doesn«t want to become a stepfather, and he»s not looking to be part of a «power couple» with Kim.»

«Their schedules are very busy right now, so this format of relationship works for them.» Kardashian herself admitted in October 2025 that she would «definitely» remarry if she found the right man, but acknowledged that her «toxic» marriage to West complicates dating. «There have been situations where I got close to someone and then thought: «Stop, stop, stop, I don»t want to deal with your ex. I don«t want him to say something,»» she explained. «So it«s been a bit frustrating, but I understand that my person wouldn»t pay attention to that.»
