🚨👀 Lewis Hamilton's budding romance with Kim Kardashian is not only commanding attention in the media—it's also reflecting in the social media metrics!
Recent data from Pulse Sports, gathered via Social Blade, reveals how the seven-time Formula 1 champion kicked off 2026 on a quiet note. After losing 3,131 Instagram followers in January, things took a turn when rumors of his love connection with the SKIMS mogul began circulating in early February.
Since the reports first emerged in The Sun, Hamilton has welcomed a staggering surge of over half a million new followers—586,070 to be exact—bringing him to 42.9 million as of April 8, 2026. His most significant gain occurred on March 15, where he added an impressive 72,432 followers in just one day, coinciding with his first podium finish for Ferrari at the Chinese Grand Prix.
On that same day, the 41-year-old made headlines by being on the Shanghai podium for Ferrari while also going viral for praising Kardashian's stunning gold Gucci outfit at the Vanity Fair Oscars party.
In contrast, Kardashian's account took a hit. In the same two-month timeframe, she reportedly lost over 618,000 followers. This decline continues a trend over the past two years, with more than 10 million followers gone since February 2024. Still, she boasts a staggering 352 million followers—about 8.2 times Hamilton's count.
Although rumors swirl, these two stars have yet to officially declare their relationship, despite being labeled as 2026's hottest new celebrity couple.
