KANYE West accused Kim Kardashian of ‘flirting’ with Lewis Hamilton years before she entered into a relationship with the F1 driver, The Sun can reveal.
We revealed over the weekend that Lewis, 41, and Kim, 45, are in a new relationship, with the pair enjoying a string of international dates over recent weeks.
The reality star and entrepreneur has known Ferrari driver Lewis for over a decade, but things only recently turned romantic.
However, her ex-husband Kanye, 48, had previously accused her of flirting with Lewis when they were together.
Kim and Kanye were married from 2014 until 2021, and a source tells us that the Yeezy owner’s jealous streak especially came out around Lewis.
“It was so awkward as when they were together, Kanye would always fly into jealous rages and accuse Kim of flirting with Lewis,” revealed the source.
They continued: “She wasn’t – of course – but Kanye was always so erratic that if Kim was even friendly with someone he’d accuse her of something.”
Kim and Kanye share children; and cited “irreconcilable differences” as a reason for their divorce five years ago.
Lewis was a friend of both Kim and Kanye, with them bonding over a shared love for fashion. The sportsman even spent Easter at the house they shared as a married couple back in 2016.
The Sun understands Kim and Lewis have been growing close for a number of months, with the pair attending actress Kate Hudson’s New Year’s Eve party together.
The new couple have enjoyed several dates in different cities over recent weeks, including London and Paris, to fit around Kim’s work commitments.
Earlier this week, a source told The Sun: “Kim and Lewis have such intense working schedules so they’re keen to spend as much time together as possible.
“Right now, they’re inseparable and are fitting their dates around Kim’s work commitments.”
Kim had to be in Paris to attend a NikeSkims event – her brand’s collaboration with Nike.
Taking Lewis along with her, the pair stayed at luxurious hotel Le Bristol, and ate in private during their stay.
A source revealed: “Kim absolutely loves spending time in Paris and wanted Lewis to go with her. Her work is so important to her but it’s all things she can slot around spending time with Lewis.
“They’re both used to travelling all over the world while working so doing it together means they can spend proper time with each other.”
