Kim Kardashian’s A rumored romance with Lewis Hamilton has reportedly caused a family disruption amid the attention-grabbing scenes. According to one source, Hamilton’s mother was not completely sold on this match. The report added a family dimension to the romance, which neither party had addressed publicly.
The Skims founder and the Formula 1 champion were linked for months through sightings in several cities. He was also reportedly seen linking arms in Tokyo ahead of Hamilton’s race weekend. That report framed the issue around Carmen Larbalestier’s concern that her son needed someone “more low-key and private”.
Lewis Hamilton’s mom reportedly thinks Kim Kardashian isn’t the one for her
Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton were longtime friends whose bond reportedly turned romantic earlier this year. However, a source cited intouch weekly Hamilton’s mother saw the situation differently. A source said, “From Carmen’s perspective, the Kardashian lifestyle is not something that really meshes with her son’s personality long-term.” She added that she felt she “would be better off” with someone sober. Neither the reality star nor the racing driver have publicly confirmed the rumored romance.
According to the same report, Lewis Hamilton spent time with his mother before the Chinese Grand Prix, while Kim Kardashian attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party 2026. On March 12 he wrote Instagram“Spending time with my mother has brought me great joy.” He added, “I’m going to the track feeling very motivated and healthy.” That post gave more importance to the family context. This also comes after reports of the two being held in London, Paris, Arizona, California and Tokyo.
The outlet further claimed that Larbalestier’s influence mattered because Hamilton remained particularly close to him. “Louise is incredibly close to her mother, and her opinion means a lot to her,” the source said. The insider also said he called his mother the “first love” of his life. So, while the romance remained in the realm of rumor, the reported concern suggested that family approval could become a real factor if things progressed further.
