If, like us, you’re in a perpetual Drive to Survive obsession hole, you’ve probably wondered once or twice about the personal lives of our favourite Formula One stars. Especially, that of Lewis Hamilton.
Ever since his pretty high profile relationship with Nicole Scherzinger, it feels like we’ve not heard a huge amount about the love life of our favourite championship winner, despite the fact he’s been linked to a number of big names from Kendall Jenner to Rihanna. Well, here’s your complete rundown of Lewis Hamilton’s dating history, starting from the most recent update – and then going back to the beginning.
Sofia Vegara, 2025
It’s 16th January 2025, and the internet is spiralling over some particularly photos of Lewis Hamilton, 40, with actress Sofia Vegara, 52. According to TMZ, the pair had a “super flirty” lunch in New York City, and were “so engaged in the conversation, she barely touched her food.” Side note: that could never be me.

They added that “it looks like the sparks are flying!!!”
But that said, Us Weekly said it was “merely a casual lunch with a big group of friends in a group setting” and “by no means a date,” so you decide what you think of all that!
Lewis Hamilton’s dating history
Danielle Lloyd, 2002
As an up-and-coming sports star Lewis dated model and TV personality Danielle Lloyd for around six months back in 2002. While the relationship wasn’t meant to be, she has spoken previously about how the romance ended amicably, saying that they were friends for some time afterwards.
Jodia Ma, 2003 – 2007
Lewis and Jodia met during their studies and were in a relationship for four years between 2003 and 2007. As Lewis became more of a household name he and Ma eventually split, but she spoke about his incredible driving success in the press shortly after and was nothing but complimentary to her former partner.
Nicole Scherzinger, 2007 – 2015
Just weeks after rumours emerged that Lewis was dating 2007 Miss World Vivian Burkhardt he was spotted looking pretty cosy with Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger at the Monaco Grand Prix.
Nicole and Lewis’s relationship was a big deal for a while back in the mid-naughts. He just starting to win big on the racetrack and fans were as obsessed with The Pussycat Dolls as it was possible to be, they were a match made in red carpet heaven.

But, after eight on-off years together the pair called it quits for good in 2015, with their busy schedules cited as the reason for the messy split.
Rihanna, 2015
Months after his split from Nicole Lewis and Rihanna were rumoured to be an item, after being spotted together in New York. However, neither Lewis nor Rihanna ever confirmed the romance. However, they didn’t deny it either…
Veronica Valle, 2015
Veronica and Lewis’s 2015 relationship went sour pretty quickly, with the pair splitting after just three months, with Veronica criticising her former partner in the press not long after the split.
Rita Ora, 2016
While Rita and Lewis never confirmed their relationship they were pictured together on multiple occasions, often looking pretty cosy.
In 2016 the pair took a luxury holiday to Montenegro together, where they were papped messing around by the pool together and spraying each other with a hose. That same year she also attended the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with him, even being pictured alongside his mum Carmen Larbalestier.
Barbara Palvin, 2016
Model Barbara Palvin was linked to Lewis briefly back in 2016 after meeting at the Cannes Film Festival. She was then seen with him at multiple Grand Prixs during the 2016 season.

However, it was not to be between these two and things seemed to fizzle out, with Palvin going on to date Riverdale’s Cole Sprouse.
Kendall Jenner, 2016
Later that year Lewis was linked to model Kendall after he was seen on holiday with the Kar-Jenner family in Cannes and Monaco.
Shortly after Kendall was spotted at the Monaco Grand Prix, wearing his gold chain. Ands while nothing major came of it we can only hope she got a few hoodies too.
Winnie Harlow, 2016
Lewis and Winnie were pictured together in late 2016, immediately prompting dating rumours which were only spurred on when they were spotted looking cosy in May the following year (2017).
However, neither Winnie nor Lewis ever spoke out about to confirm or deny the relationship.
Sofia Richie, 2016
Another similar unconfirmed relationship from that year was Lewis and Lionel Richie’s daughter, Sofia Richie.
The pair were papped looking pretty close at Couture Fashion Week in Paris and rumours continued for some time about them going out on a few dates together.
Nicki Minaj, 2018
As if being papped together at New York Fashion Week in 2018 wasn’t enough Lewis and Nicki began sharing pictures of each other on social media, including snaps of a holiday to Dubai they apparently took together.
Despite a lot of rumours and a few flirty Instagram comments the relationship was never officially confirmed.
