Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton chat at Louis Vuitton's Paris show
by CONNIE RUSK, ASSOCIATE SHOWBUSINESS EDITOR · Mail OnlineKim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton's rumoured secret romance was revealed this week, with the lovebirds travelling around Europe together.
But the pair have long been friendly with one another, with a video resurfacing on TikTok of them chatting at Louis Vuitton's menswear 2024 collection in Paris in June 2023.
Both Kim, 45, and Lewis, 41, turned up to support their friend Pharrell Williams as he made his debut as men's creative director for the brand during Paris Fashion Week three years ago.
The reality star, who wore a pixelated camouflage sports bra and leggings set from the collection, chatted away to Lewis.
The Formula One driver is often seen in Pharrell's designs during F1 paddock arrivals.
After watching the clip, fans wrote: 'I'm happy for her' and 'Long time coming even when Kanye was there'.
The video went viral online after the couple were pictured checking in to upmarket hotel Estelle Manor on Saturday after it was reported they are enjoying a 'secret romance.'
The pair were seen arriving with a motorcade in tow at the five-star establishment in the Cotswolds, which is frequented by the rich and famous.
The US superstar flew into the UK this week for a romantic weekend away with the Formula 1 ace.
They enjoyed an intimate dinner and a couple's massage as part of a romantic weekend getaway to an A-list favourite spot in the Cotswolds.
Kim jetted into the UK on her £100million private jet to spend just 24 hours with her new beau at the exclusive venue, with three bodyguards protecting the couple.
The mother-of-four, who was pictured in London on Sunday night, touched down on Saturday afternoon at Oxford Airport, where two cars were waiting to make the nine-minute journey to Estelle Manor.
Lewis was then spotted arriving at the romantic spot an hour later, after flying in from London via helicopter.
The Sun reported the pair shared a room in the main part of the house, which costs from £1,000 a night, while they also enjoyed a couple's massage and dinner in a private room, with onlookers saying: 'It all appeared to be very romantic.'
For both the room and access to the spa, the date could have easily cost £120,000 in total, including the cost of flying the jet in.
The pair checked out at around 11am on Sunday and left together in the two cars that had taken Kim from the airport.
They are now both in Paris, staying at the swanky Le Bristol hotel while Kim promotes her new NikeSKIMS range - marking three dates in three days, all in different pricey locations.
On Monday night, Kardashian posted an Insta Story with a cosy snap from her bed at the five-star luxury Hôtel Costes, where she ordered cheesecake and began streaming the fourth season of Netflix's steamy soap opera Bridgerton on a laptop.
The coy alleged couple were first pictured together in 2014 alongside their then-partners, Kanye 'Ye' West and Nicole Scherzinger, at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London.

Just seven months later, Lewis was so close with Kim and Kanye that he celebrated the Easter holiday at their home.
'Lewis Hamilton's over at my house and we're playing some music in my studio,' Ye told the School of the Art Institute of Chicago at the time.
'We're having an Easter brunch and all of the family's there, my wife's family, my friends, everything. And everybody's like, "What is this music?" And I'm like, "It's Lewis Hamilton's music."
'They're like, "Oh my God. It's really good!"'
