The Children of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are reportedly finding a different kind of 'cool' in Lewis Hamilton, according to sources close to the situation. The children, identified as North (12), Saint (10/9), Chicago (8/7), and Psalm (6), are said to now view the Formula 1 driver as a more appealing figure than their father. This observation comes amidst ongoing speculation about Kardashian's burgeoning connection with Hamilton.
Kardashian herself has reportedly shared this sentiment with friends, detailing how her brood now idolizes the decorated athlete. This dynamic appears to be a particularly sore point for West, who is reportedly convinced Hamilton was "creeping" on Kardashian even during their marriage. The rapper's alleged unease appears to be resurfacing, years after their separation.

"Kim Kardashian has told friends that her children with Kanye West… now see Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton as the 'cooler' figure in their lives, eclipsing their father amid his rocky marriage to Bianca Censori."
The children have reportedly spent time with Hamilton in "low-key settings," a step that suggests a deepening relationship between Kardashian and the F1 star. These interactions have occurred despite Kardashian apparently being cautious with her new romance. North, in particular, is described as someone who is "protective, skeptical, and not easily impressed," yet seemingly finds Hamilton to be "calm, respectful, and very present."

The reports also touch upon Kardashian's perceived "quiet pity" for Bianca Censori, West's current partner. Kardashian reportedly communicates with Censori, primarily to arrange logistical matters for the children, as West is said to be largely unresponsive. While Kardashian expresses empathy for Censori, the children's growing admiration for Hamilton seems to be a more significant concern for West.

Lewis Hamilton, a globally recognized figure, has also been noted for his public stances on diversity within motorsport and his involvement in various charitable endeavors, further cementing his status as an "influential global icon."
The narrative surrounding Kardashian and Hamilton began gaining traction earlier this year, with reports suggesting a casual romance that has since progressed. Their recent trip to Tokyo, which included Kardashian's children, marks a significant milestone, with social media footage capturing them together. While Hamilton and Kardashian have a history of friendship, their connection reportedly turned romantic in early 2026.

The public reception to their sightings has, at times, generated "uproar," prompting explanations of the circumstances. Amidst this, a source has claimed that Kardashian urged calm while Hamilton reportedly denied any wrongdoing concerning their linked public personas.
