Lewis Hamilton has offered a rare personal glimpse into his relationship with Kim Kardashian and the growing bond he shares with her four children.
Speaking during the 2026 United States Grand Prix weekend in Austin, Texas, the seven-time Formula 1 world champion was asked what brings him happiness away from racing. Hamilton first mentioned his niece and nephew before turning to Kardashian’s family.
“My girlfriend’s kids, I love spending time with them.”
Hamilton also revealed that he gave the children a dog earlier this year. The puppy, named Halo, has since become part of the family.
Hamilton shares a rare family update
Hamilton is famously private about his life away from Formula 1, making the comments an unusually direct acknowledgment of his relationship with Kardashian.
According to PEOPLE, Hamilton said he enjoys playing with Kardashian’s four children and described “little Halo” as a new member of their family.
Kardashian shares North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm with her former husband, Kanye West. The children have appeared in family vacation photos with Hamilton during 2026, offering occasional glimpses of the relationship as it became more public.
The story behind Halo
Hamilton’s comments also clarified the story behind Halo, a golden retriever puppy that has appeared in social media posts from the family.
Sports Illustrated reported that Kardashian shared an early look at the puppy during a summer family vacation. Hamilton later posted images featuring Halo on his own social media.
For Hamilton, the gift carries an emotional connection. The driver has long been known for his close bond with his late bulldog, Roscoe, who frequently traveled with him and became a familiar presence to Formula 1 fans.
A relationship becoming more public
Hamilton and Kardashian were friends for years before their romance. They were linked romantically earlier in 2026 and later began sharing moments from their relationship publicly.
In July, Kardashian posted a family vacation photo that included Hamilton and her daughter Chicago. Entertainment Weekly reported that other pictures from the trip included Kardashian’s children North, Saint and Psalm.
More recently, Kardashian made playful references to Hamilton on The Kardashians. During the October 22 episode, she said she was “really, really happy,” while hinting that her partner matched the qualities she had hoped to find in a relationship, as PEOPLE reported.
A meaningful sign of trust
Kardashian has previously spoken about being careful when introducing romantic partners into her children’s lives. Hamilton’s involvement in family trips, time spent with the children and gift of a new pet suggest that their relationship has reached a meaningful stage.
Neither Hamilton nor Kardashian shared additional details about the practical arrangements surrounding Halo. What Hamilton did make clear is that spending time with Kardashian’s children has become an important source of happiness in his life.
His brief but warm remarks gave fans a new look at the quieter, family-focused side of one of Formula 1’s biggest stars.
