Lewis Hamilton makes sweet comment about Kim Kardashian and opens up about new addition to relationship
Lewis Hamilton has shared a sweet insight into his relationship with Kim Kardashian, revealing a thoughtful gesture he's made for her family.
The Formula One champion, 41, opened up about his life away from the racetrack during a press panel ahead of the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, on Saturday (24 October), and seemingly couldn't resist mentioning his new beau.
For those in need of a reminder, rumours that Kardashian and Hamilton were more than just friends began swirling in February 2026, after the pair were spotted together on trips to the UK and Paris.
They were also seen at the Super Bowl that same month, marking one of their first major public appearances together since speculation about their relationship began.

By March, eagle-eyed fans were connecting the dots after the pair shared similar desert scenery on Instagram, while Hamilton also left a heart-eyes emoji under one of Kardashian's posts following the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty.
Things continued to heat up in April, when Kardashian appeared in a video shared to Hamilton's Instagram account, before the pair were spotted together at Coachella.
Then, in June, Kardashian shared a carousel featuring the pair cycling together in New York City, captioned simply: 'Lately.' The post offered fans another glimpse into their romance, which had already been attracting plenty of attention online.
The couple's gushiest moment yet unfolded this weekend, however, when Hamilton revealed that spending time with Kardashian's four children has become a source of happiness for him, before letting slip that he's made a particularly adorable addition to their family.
And no, we're not talking about another Kardashian baby announcement...
Speaking during the panel, the British sportsman was asked about what brings him joy outside of racing, and his answer offered a rare glimpse into his relationship with the reality TV star and her family.
"My niece and nephew always gave me a lot of happiness," he began. "My girlfriend's kids, I love spending time with them."
Hamilton continued: "She's got four, so I'm getting to play with these kids. I got them a dog this year, so little Halo is a new member of that family."
For reference, SKIMS boss Kardashian, 46, shares four children - North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm - with her ex-husband, rapper Kanye West.
The golden retriever puppy, sweetly named Halo, had already made a few appearances on social media, but Hamilton's comments have now revealed that he was behind the thoughtful gift.
Kardashian previously shared a photo of herself cuddling the adorable pup in a July Instagram post captioned, 'lakemaxxing', giving fans a glimpse of the family's newest furry friend without revealing Hamilton's role in bringing her home.
According to a post shared by the Goldiva Goldens Instagram account back in July, Halo was set to be flown to Los Angeles for Hamilton.
The post read: "We’re excited to fly Ms Halo to Los Angeles to Formula 1 Ferrari driver @lewishamilton!! Dog trainer Kirstin McMillian is a 3 generation animal trainer @adventuresindogtraining flew to Maine yesterday. Proud dog parents are Am Grand CH Bronze Goldiva’s Blackjack x Can CH Tango."
Hamilton's revelation is particularly touching given his own love of dogs.
The racing driver previously shared his life with beloved bulldogs Coco and Roscoe.
Roscoe sadly died in September 2025 after contracting pneumonia, with Hamilton paying tribute to his four-legged companion in an emotional social media post. The gift also comes after Hamilton experienced the loss of his beloved bulldog, making the arrival of another dog a particularly poignant development in his life.
This weekend's comments are far from the first time Hamilton has spoken publicly about the part his new relationship has played in his current happiness.
Earlier this year, after Kardashian was spotted supporting Hamilton at the Monaco Grand Prix, the driver spoke warmly about having her by his side.
"It is amazing to have her come this weekend and to have that support," Hamilton said at the time. "It is amazing to have good people around you, good people supporting you, and she does that for me every day."
Since then, the pair have offered fans occasional glimpses into their relationship, including family holidays and social media posts featuring Kardashian's children.
