Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton were spotted together at Levi’s Stadium during Sunday’s Super Bowl, marking their first joint public appearance as a couple. According to a lip-reading expert, things are already pretty serious between the pair.
Their joint presence at the big game follows reports that the Formula 1 legend and reality TV star have been involved in a closely-guarded romance, with Sunday night’s meeting between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots being just the latest in a string of spectacular dates.
This very public sighting of the couple comes very shortly after the two were seen checking into exclusive English hotel Estelle Manor last week.
Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian’s Relationship Explored
The pair arrived separately, with Kardashian easily recognisable, as she was spotted arriving in a motorcade with a collection of personalised luggage. Hamilton, meanwhile, chartered a helicopter from London for their reunion.
The two were spotted making full use of the amenities available at the hotel, enjoying an intimate private dinner and a couple’s massage in the 24 hours they spent there together.
Hamilton and Kardashian have been friends for years, having first been pictured together in 2014, alongside ex-partners Kanye West and Nicole Scherzinger at the GQ Men of the Year Awards.
However, things have now turned romantic between the duo. Judging by what Hamilton is believed to have said to his new flame, a long-term future is on the cards.
Kim Kardashian ‘Uncomfortable’ With Hamilton’s Words at the Super Bowl
In one clip of the two shown on broadcast, the F1 ace can be seen in the middle of a conversation with the Skims owner. Per the Daily Mail, a lip-reader has uncovered what the two were speaking about in this seemingly high-stakes interaction.
Expert Nicola Hickling, founder of LipReader, revealed that Hamilton said: “‘No, I don’t take just any girl to see my mom, I mean you’re gonna meet someday, she is excited to see you.”
Kardashian apparently wasn’t thrilled with the comment so early in their relationship, seeming to respond with a simple “okay” to the comment, appearing to ‘shuffle uncomfortably in her seat’ and cover her face.
In the same article, body language guru Judi James pointed out that Kardashian went on to “lean back to take in Lewis visually” as he spoke and this flattering “stroke” produces a “purr” response from him which was visible in the way that his facial features soften, from which point Hamilton “talks through a smile of pleasure.”
This ‘playful’ response is followed by a ‘switch to a very smart technique of intense interest followed by distraction, suddenly looking away after bathing Lewis in her interested gaze.’
James called this a ‘hot/cool body language technique,’ used to ‘capture someone’s attention and to get them to coax the signals of interest back again.’ She finally added that Kardashian’s ‘hand to hair gesture’ suggests that she sees Hamilton as a ‘very suitable “catch” to show off with pride at this public event.’
Rangers have been handed an avenue to complete a deal for Lewis Ferguson after it emerged that Bologna want to sign an Ibrox star, according to the Daily Record.
The Light Blues have had a busy summer window already after finishing third in the Scottish Premiership, with Derek McInnes replacing Danny Rohl as manager and all of Lawrence Shankland, Ben Godfrey, Ivor Pandur, Ross McCrorie, and Dan Neil arriving as part of the squad for next season.
But the club are still keen to make even more additions before the start of the new campaign, with Scotland star Ferguson understood to be a top target. Now, they’ve been made aware of a potential path to get a deal done.
Rangers Star Connor Barron Eyed by Bologna
According to the Daily Record, Serie A giants are aware of interest in Ferguson and have once again added Rangers star Connor Barron to their wishlist of summer transfers.
Barron, who has been described as ‘brilliant’, joined Rangers on a free transfer in 2024, and had been targeted by the Italian outfit then, but opted to move to Ibrox instead. Bologna also tried to sign him last summer, but their enquiry was rejected by club chiefs in Glasgow.
Now they are looking at trying to bring him in once again, and Rangers could be open to a sale if it means they can sign the Bologna captain Ferguson as a result.
England have been dealt a major blow just hours ahead of their World Cup Last 16 clash with Mexico after a player was ruled out with injury.
The Three Lions are undefeated at the tournament having claimed wins over Croatia, Panama, and then DR Congo, while they drew with Ghana, but will take on co-hosts Mexico at the legendary Azteca Stadium in the early hours of Monday morning.
Thomas Tuchel has already admitted his team face a major disadvantage playing away from home in the altitude at such short notice, but they have now been handed another issue to deal with in the build-up to the huge clash.
The Tottenham Hotspur star has started two of England’s four games, playing at left-back against Ghana before starting at right-back against DR Congo. But with Reece James still unavailable due to a hamstring injury picked up against Ghana, and Jarrel Quansah nursing an injury of his own, the team now face a huge dilemma at right-back.
According to Dorsett, Quansah has been passed fit to play and is likely to start at right-back for the game, although there is also a chance that Arsenal star Declan Rice gets the nod following his performance in the latter stages against DR Congo in that position.
Tuchel has previously ruled out Rice playing there from the start at Mexico, but he may be left without any option if Quansah’s fitness means he is unable to play too.
Tuchel’s full-back options when he selected his squad were an immediate talking point, with many fans and media questioning his decisions.
Tino Livramento was sent home before the tournament with an injury, while James had barely featured in the second half of the season due to fitness problems, but was selected anyway. At left-back, Nico O’Reilly is naturally a midfielder, while Spence is naturally a right-back.
Now he has very limited choices to pick from, and Ezri Konsa or Trevoh Chalobah are likely to be called upon at some point to play out of position should England be able to progress past Mexico into the quarter-finals.
Tottenham will likely shift their transfer focus onto their forward line now, having completed a number of deals at the back and in midfield already in this summer transfer window.
Spurs have completed five new signings this summer, with a sixth done bar official confirmation in a real statement of intent to the rest of the Premier League.
Having finished in 17th place in each of the last two seasons, new head coach Roberto De Zerbi has got to work in transforming the squad he inherited and Spurs are now bucking their trend when it comes to both transfer fees and wages.
Spurs to break club record twice in a week

The Lilywhites broke their club transfer record this week by completing the £85million signing of Mateus Fernandes from West Ham United. But that record will stand for only a matter of days. An agreement has been reached for the transfer of Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United and when that is confirmed he will become the club’s new record signing at £92.5million, increasing to £100million in add-ons.
Those two midfield signings followed the defensive additions of Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi, with Martin Dubravka also coming in as back-up goalkeeper.
Attacking changes are likely to be made, with question marks over the future of last season’s top scorer Richarlison and a number of players still missing through long-term injury.
Tottenham are one of a number of clubs interested in signing Bournemouth star Eli Junior Kroupi this summer after his breakout season in the Premier League.
The now 20-year-old broke the record for the most goals scored in a season by a teenager, beating the record which had been held by both Robbie Fowler and Robbie Keane.
Tottenham would face strong competition for his signature this summer, with a number of other Premier League clubs weighing up a move for the frontman, as well as Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain showing an interest.
football.london’s Tottenham correspondent Alasdair Gold delivered an update on his future on the Talking Tottenham podcast.

He said: “There’s interest, of course, but everyone’s interested, he’s one of the young stars of the Premier League, everyone wants him.
“This new version of Tottenham, they have certainly gone at deals this summer where there was opposition and they’ve come out of the other side.
“I’m hearing Bournemouth have got no intention of selling, but we’ll see if that’s tested as the summer goes on.
“I’m fascinated to see if Spurs are going after bigger targets, proper targets, not targets that might be good, but targets we know are already good, I’m fascinated to see how they approach that situation.
“You’re probably not taking on one or two clubs, you’re taking on half of Europe.”
