Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have fuelled the dating rumours as they were spotted at Super Bowl LX together at Levi's Stadium on Sunday (8 February).
There have been whispers for weeks now that the reality TV star, 45, and Formula One driver, 41, are dating, but neither has confirmed the romance.
The reports began at the beginning of the month on 1 February when The Sun claimed that the celebrity duo had been been on a romantic getaway to the Cotswolds together.
And now, as we say, their unexpected Super Bowl appearance has well and truly set tails wagging.

As for yesterday's sports (8 February) the Seattle Seahawks dominated the New England Patriots to win with a final score of 13-21.
Meanwhile, during the best part in my opinion, aka the music, Bad Bunny put on a stellar headline performance, bringing on the likes of Lady Gaga and Pedro Pascal for surprise cameos, Hamilton and Kardashian watched from their seats.
A close-up clip has since gone viral from the broadcast, showing the rumoured couple smiling as they have a conversation - and the internet has gone wild.
Lip reader Nicola Hickling has honed in on the moment and told MailOnline about the reported private 'promise' between the pair.
The sports star reportedly said to the SKIMS founder: "'No I don't take just any girl to my mom, I mean you're gonna meet someday, she is very excited to see you."
The expert added that Kardashian then proceeded to 'shuffle uncomfortably in her seat' and covered her face 'before replying with a simple okay'.
Meanwhile, body language expert Judi James also spoke to the publication and provided insight on the interaction, revealing that there was reportedly quite a lot of 'flirting' going on.
The expert explained: "Firstly, there is the pose that registers undivided attention between them, which is a form of non-verbal stroke when you're on a date.
"Kim actually leans back to take in Lewis visually as he speaks and this flattering "stroke" produces a "purr" response from him which is visible in the way his facial features soften and he talks through a smile of pleasure."
She added: "Kim adds to the flirting when the tip of her tongue appears at the side of her mouth. This is usually seen as a gesture of playful desire or interest.
"But then she seems to switch to a very smart technique of intense interest followed by distraction, suddenly looking away after bathing Lewis in her interested gaze."
James added that Kardashian brings one hand up to touch her hair and hide her face, which is a 'hot/cool body language technique used to capture someone's attention and to get them to coax the signals of interest back again'. Well, I learned something new!
Whether they're actually dating or not, fans have been going wild over the interaction, joking on Twitter: "Where are the Hamilton stans who double as lip readers… we’re waiting to hear what you have to add" and "At this point the halftime show isn’t even the main event - the guest list is."
Tyla has contacted reps for Hamilton and Kardashian for comment.
