Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton were seen getting close during a Malibu beach outing on April 20, 2026, with photos and videos of the moment going viral on social media. The two were seen walking along the shore, chatting and laughing before heading into the water for a swim.
The sighting points to a shift in their relationship, which had earlier been described as a close friendship.
For the outing, Kardashian wore a bikini top paired with a partially unzipped black wetsuit, while Hamilton opted for a T-shirt and shorts and was also photographed carrying a surfboard.
At one point, Kardashian leaned in and the two shared a kiss while holding each other. Their interaction indicated that the outing was not just casual.
Earlier, in February 2026, Us Weekly reported that their friendship had gradually turned romantic.
On April 7, the two also shared a video from Tokyo on Instagram, where Kardashian was seen riding in a Ferrari driven by Hamilton, marking their first public acknowledgement after months of dating rumours.
The pair have been linked since late last year and were first rumoured to be dating in January. They have since been seen together in cities including London, Paris and Japan.
While this marks a visible development in their relationship, Kardashian and Hamilton are believed to have known each other for over a decade, having moved in the same social circles before their relationship turned romantic.
