Inside Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian’s top secret date at Las Vegas Grand Prix a month before romance revealed
SINCE my exclusive story broke about Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton, everyone wants to know how long they’ve been together.
And now I’ve been given a little more insight into their top-secret romance.
While it was thought that Kim and Formula 1 star Lewis started growing closer over Christmas, I can reveal it was a lot earlier than that.
My moles tell me Kim visited Lewis in Las Vegas in the days before the Grand Prix there on November 22.
From what I know, they went all-out to keep it hush-hush.
One insider said: “Lewis invited Kim to be his guest inside the garage over the week. That included for the preparation and the race itself.

“She was there when the race happened and was alongside him, talking to him and hanging out with him before he took to the circuit.
“Nicole Scherzinger did that back in the day when they were together.
“People saw it and didn’t think much of it — but now it all makes sense.”
A second source in the F1 world added: “Three days before the race, Kim was spotted coming out of a garage where Lewis’s car was.
“She headed to his trailer. That was one of the few times Kim was seen.
“Something was definitely happening between them then. Why else would she have been there?”
Why, indeed?
I revealed Kim and Lewis enjoyed a night at posh Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds on January 31, before heading to London for a second date and Paris for a third.
Lewis then flew back to Los Angeles with Kim on her £100million private jet, and days later they made their first public appearance together at the Super Bowl on February 8.
Since then, the A-list couple have been apart, with him flying to Bahrain, where he spent time last week doing pre-season testing in his Ferrari F1 car.
Lewis said he had a new-found vigour ahead of the season, adding: “I’m reset and refreshed.”
I’m sure that Kim has helped boost his drive . . .
ESTEEM DREAM
SELF ESTEEM will be in Manchester this Saturday for the Brit Awards – and she may have a very special man by her side.
I’ve learned the singer-songwriter, who is nominated for Artist of the Year at the ceremony, is dating actor Wilf Scolding.
And I’m told they have been seeing each other since 2023, when they were cast in West End show Cabaret together.
The singer, whose real name is Rebecca Lucy Taylor, hinted they are an item when Wilf appeared in the video for her song The Curse in August.
A source said: “Rebecca and Wilf have been together for a while – they live together and even have a dog.
“But they aren’t showy with their personal lives so haven’t flaunted the relationship in the public eye.
“She’s had bad dating experiences in the past but Wilf is a good guy. He has the seal of approval from her mates.”
Wilf, who starred in Game Of Thrones and BBC One drama The Passing Bells, is a sea-change from the singer’s last boyfriend, who she has never publicly named but said was “a real nasty bastard”.
Self Esteem referenced her “current male lover” in an interview back in November.
When asked how often she has sex, she said: “Oh, often. That is one thing I don’t compromise on.”
Good on them both.
JUSTIN TIME FOR UK GIGS
JUSTIN BIEBER is set to embark on his biggest tour in more than a decade.
I’m told the Baby hitmaker will announce a string of global dates after playing two headline slots at US festival Coachella in April, as well as plans for a new pop album.
A source said: “This year is set to be a huge one for Justin.
“He kicked things off with his Grammy performance earlier this month and bosses hope his Coachella sets will remind the world why he became one of the most successful singers on the planet.”
As part of his upcoming world tour, Justin is expected to announce a show at BST Hyde Park in London.
He previously played BST in 2017 – but hasn’t done a full concert on UK soil since then.
ANTI’S EURO VISION
LOVE Island fans might spot a familiar face at the Eurovision Song Contest in the spring.
While the UK will be represented by YouTuber Look Mum No Computer, Cyprus’s act is Antigoni, who starred in the ITV2 series in 2022.
She wore this striking red dress in the video for her entry song, Jalla – and eagle-eyed viewers might recognise someone else in the promo.
Antigoni, who was born and raised in London but is of Greek-Cypriot descent, managed to get Stavros Flatley star Demetri Demetriou to make a cameo.
Currently, Antigoni is tenth favourite to win, while Look Mum No Computer is 14th.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for them both.
KEEP an eye out for LA-based singer Amelia Moore, who has just completed a UK tour supporting Ashnikko.
She has been getting rave reviews off the back of her latest EP He’s Still Just Not That Into You! and I’m expecting big things in the coming months.
FOO FIGHT FOR GIGS
FOO FIGHTERS have announced a set of surprise shows this week – leading to thousands of fans queuing in the streets for a ticket
Tonight they will play The Academy in Dublin, before a show on Wednesday at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire and the O2 Ritz in Manchester on Friday.
Tickets were released yesterday but fans had to queue at the venues’ box offices in a bid to stop online touts ripping people off.
The gigs come ahead of the release of their 12th album Your Favourite Toy on April 24.
I’ll be in Manchester to see the band – I can’t wait.
THE SEX PISTOLS BACK ON ROAD
THE SEX PISTOLS ft. Frank Carter have announced a brand new tour celebrating 50 years of punk.
Anarchy In The UK will see them play five shows at the end of the year, kicking off in Ireland at Dublin’s 3 Arena on December 7.
They will then play Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange on December 9, before hitting Glasgow’s O2 Academy the following evening.
Frank and Co will then head to London to play the Brixton Academy on December 18 and the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith two days later.
MARGOT IS SHEER DELIGHT
MARGOT ROBBIE skipped the Baftas and headed Down Under for Tropfest 2026 in Sydney.
The film festival, which celebrates the best short films and new rising stars of the industry, enlisted Margot as the president of this year’s jury.
Next year, I know Margot will be front and centre at the Baftas in London – with her new film Wuthering Heights expected to pick up a raft of nods, including Best Actress for her star turn.
Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Emily Brontë’s 1847 novel has caused a storm among cinema lovers, with Margot’s co-star Jacob Elordi expected to be shortlisted for Best Actor.
