Speculation is mounting about a potential romance between reality television star Kim Kardashian and Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton following reports of a secret weekend getaway in the picturesque Cotswolds.
Luxury Cotswolds Retreat
The 45-year-old beauty mogul and businesswoman is said to have flown into Oxford Airport last Sunday afternoon for what sources describe as a romantic rendezvous with the 41-year-old former world champion racing driver. Their destination was the exclusive Estelle Manor hotel, where rooms reportedly start from £1,000 per night.
Intimate 24-Hour Escape
According to insiders, the pair - who have maintained a friendship for several years - spent approximately 24 hours together at the luxury establishment. During their stay, they reportedly indulged in a couple's massage and enjoyed a private dinner in a secluded dining room, away from prying eyes.
An anonymous source provided details to The Sun newspaper, stating: 'It all appeared to be very romantic. Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer.' The source added that while both celebrities had security personnel present, their protection teams remained discreetly in the background throughout the visit.
Discreet Departure
The couple reportedly checked out on Sunday morning, taking care to leave through separate exits and using different vehicles. Observers noted that Kardashian was seen manoeuvring her distinctive collection of eight personalised suitcases as she departed the premises.
Relationship Histories
This reported getaway marks Hamilton's first high-profile romantic link since rumours circulated about him and Colombian singer Shakira in 2023. The racing driver previously maintained an on-again, off-again relationship with Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls from 2007 until their final separation in 2015.
For Kardashian, this represents her first potential romance since her much-publicised split from comedian Pete Davidson, whom she began dating after hosting Saturday Night Live. More recently, there had been speculation about her dating NFL star Odell Beckham Jr., though neither party confirmed those rumours.
Personal Backgrounds
Kim Kardashian shares four children - North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm - with former husband Kanye West. The couple began dating in 2012, married two years later, and filed for divorce in 2021. The reality star turned trainee lawyer recently opened up about health concerns she attributes to the stress of her divorce proceedings.
In a recent episode of The Kardashians, she revealed doctors discovered 'a little aneurysm' during a brain scan, which medical professionals attributed to stress. Footage showed the media personality becoming emotional while studying for the bar exam and reflecting on how the end of her marriage affected her wellbeing.
Kardashian stated in a preview for the upcoming season: 'I'm happy it's over. My ex will be in my life no matter what. We have four kids together.' It's worth noting that she did not pass the bar examination on her most recent attempt.
Representatives for both Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have been contacted for comment regarding the Cotswolds weekend reports, though neither has issued an official statement at this time.
