Who has Lewis Hamilton dated? A look at everyone he's been linked to, from Rihanna to Kendall Jenner
The Ferrari driver remains unmarried, child-free, and laser-focused on the sport that made him a global icon. At 40, he keeps himself dedicated to winning an eighth world championship.
Early confirmed loves: Danielle Lloyd and Jodia Ma
Hamilton's first public relationship began in 2002 with model Danielle Lloyd. 'We were both out with friends, but there was a bit of a spark, and we swapped numbers,' Lloyd told the Daily Mail. Their six-month romance fizzled gently, but they stayed on good terms.
From 2003 to 2007, he dated fellow student Jodia Ma while at Cambridge. According to the outlet, Ma said, 'We didn't split up because there was anything wrong with our relationship, but rather because we both wanted to pursue our different careers.' Even then, Hamilton balanced budding fame with genuine companionship.
The Nicole Scherzinger era
In late 2007, Hamilton met singer Nicole Scherzinger at the MTV Awards. Their on-off relationship spanned nearly eight years and followed him from track to tour. 'I'm devastated that it didn't work out. It was the hardest decision we had to make, but we made it together,' Scherzinger said in a statement, as reported by Cosmopolitan.
Despite engagement rumors and Scherzinger's tearful media appearances, they parted ways in 2015. A source told the US Weekly, that while 'she wanted to get married now, he didn't… It was a problem caused by their age gap, not because he didn't want to be with her.'
Rumored fling circuit since 2015
Since that split, Hamilton has been linked to multiple celebrities over the years, but has never confirmed a romance. The racer was rumored to have been in relationships with Gigi Hadid, Rihanna and Kendall Jenner in 2015.
'We've been friends for a while,' he told E! News about Rihanna. Similarly, he insisted with Kendall Jenner, 'We're just friends.' Each sighting has only brought speculation, from glimpses of him in 2016 with Barbara Palvin in Cannes and his holidays with Rita Ora in Montenegro.
From late 2016 to 2017, he was often paired with Winnie Harlow, despite having denied it on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Later that year, Sofia Richie Grainge was seen with the racer in Paris, and the following saw Nicki Minaj join the rumor mill.
In recent years, Hamilton's rumored love life saw Camila Kendra and Shakira make the list, with Sofía Vergara and RAYE joining this year. Despite the reports, Hamilton remains unattached, with his heart and focus locked firmly on the podium.

A reader's guide to the 2025 Booker Prize Longlist
Every summer, the Booker Prize longlist offers a snapshot of the contemporary novel. This year's longlist is no exception. Spanning nine nationalities and four continents, the 13 novels that make up the 2025 'Booker Dozen' trace fault lines both personal and political across war zones, classrooms, frozen fields, city apartments, and intergenerational silences. Selected from 153 eligible submissions, the list includes a former Booker Prize winner, two first-time novelists, and several returning names. It marks the first time a past winner has chaired the judging panel: Roddy Doyle, who won in 1993 for Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha, leads a group that includes novelist Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀, actor and publisher Sarah Jessica Parker, critic Chris Power, and writer Kiley Reid. The five judges will next narrow the list to a shortlist of six titles, which will be revealed at a public event at London's Royal Festival Hall on September 23. The six shortlisted authors will each receive £2,500 (approx. ₹2.7 lakh) and a specially bound edition of their book. The winner will be announced on November 10 at a ceremony at Old Billingsgate in London, broadcast live on Booker Prize channels, and awarded £50,000 (approx. ₹53.5 lakh). Here is a closer look at the books in contention: In her third novel, Kiran Desai follows two characters whose lives intersect on a train journey and later unfold across India and the United States. Sonia, a recent graduate of a writing program in Vermont, has returned to her family in India. Sunny, a journalist living in New York, is contending with his family's past and his mother's influence. Both are shaped by family history and by efforts to resist or accommodate expectations. The novel moves between cities and generations, examining the emotional and material weight passed from one to the next. At around 700 words, it is the longest novel on the Booker longlist. About the author: Desai won the Booker Prize in 2006 for The Inheritance of Loss. That novel addressed questions of migration, aspiration and belonging, themes that continue in The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny. Her mother Anita Desai has been shortlisted for the award three times. A journalist investigates the bludgeoning of a man on a Yorkshire farm and becomes entangled in the ideologies, ambitions and contradictions of those linked to the crime. The story that follows connects financial institutions, media figures and political movements. Brown's novel interrogates the language used to frame facts, the authority granted to some voices over others, and the instability of any single narrative. This is Brown's second novel. At about 156 words, it is the shortest novel in the longlist. About the author: Brown studied mathematics at Cambridge and worked in financial services before turning to fiction. She is chairing the International Booker Prize jury in 2026. Her debut, Assembly, was published in 2021 and widely recognised for its formal structure and controlled tone. Following the death of his grandfather, a teenager named Jay travels with his family to a rural property in southern Malaysia. There, on land marked by drought and decay, Jay is set to work by his father and begins to form a relationship with Chuan, the son of the farm's manager. Aw's novel is the first in a planned quartet, and situates personal relationships within broader social and economic shifts. The narrative takes place in the late 1990s, during the Asian financial crisis, and reflects on generational ties, sexuality and the pressures of inheritance. About the author: Aw was born in Taiwan, raised in Malaysia, and educated in England. Three of his previous novels have been longlisted for the Booker Prize. He has received awards including the Whitbread First Novel Award and the Commonwealth Writers' Prize. In Misinterpretation, an interpreter living in New York begins translating therapy sessions for a man who survived torture in Kosovo. The work, which she accepts with reluctance, reopens memories of her own past and leads her into increasingly risky situations. As her professional boundaries blur, she becomes involved with a Kurdish poet and later travels to Albania to visit her mother, confronting unresolved tensions between the country she left and the one she inhabits. About the author: Xhoga was born in Tirana, Albania and is based in Brooklyn. Her writing has appeared in various literary journals, and she is also a playwright. This is her first novel. It was previously recognised with a New York City Book Award and was a finalist for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize.

Wood's novel follows one man's inward and outward transformation as he measures personal ambition against family loyalty and local identity. About the author: The author, who grew up in Merseyside, has published five novels. His first was shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award, and he is a lecturer in creative writing at King's College London. Flesh begins with a teenager named István who lives with his mother in a housing estate in Hungary. His closest relationship is with a neighbour, a married woman whose interest in him evolves into something more complex. What begins in adolescence extends over the years into a story of economic ascent and emotional isolation. István moves through the army and eventually into the circles of the London elite, his life shaped by desires he only partly understands. About the author: Szalay was born in Canada, raised in London, and now lives in Vienna. He has written six books of fiction and several BBC radio plays.

Yeva, a biologist, supports her research by dating men who visit Ukraine through commercial romance tours. Nastia and Solomiya are also linked to the industry, though their real purpose is to find their missing mother, an activist. Reva's novel uses a multi-threaded narrative to explore gender, science, family, and resistance in a landscape shaped by both political and personal forces. About the author: Born in Ukraine and raised in Canada, Reva previously published a short story collection and works as an opera librettist. In December 1962, a severe snowstorm hits the West Country in England, interrupting the lives of two neighbouring couples.

'He's Not Gay, He Does This For Money': UK Woman On Boyfriend Sleeping With Men
A UK couple is earning lakhs monthly through adult content. While Ryan films with men, his girlfriend Terri says it's just work and she has no problem with it A couple from Chester, England, has taken an unconventional path in the adult entertainment industry, earning lakhs of rupees every month. Terri and Ryan, whose story was recently featured on YouTube's popular show 'Love Don't Judge', have surprised many viewers with their unique arrangement. What's most shocking to some is that Ryan films intimate content with men, something his girlfriend Terri says she has no issue with. Terri insists she doesn't feel anything unusual about it. 'It's just work for both of us," she says. 'He's not gay. He does this for money, and I understand it because I also create content with women." The couple has managed to turn their adult content career into a lucrative business. Ryan confirms that he participates in same-sex content solely for financial reasons, a practice often referred to as 'Gay for Pay'. 'Some say I'm taking advantage of the system," he says. 'But I'm a straight man creating adult content with men. This is my profession. Some people like it, some don't, and that's fine." He adds that he has no issue with the LGBTQ+ community and doesn't feel he's exploiting anyone. Terri points out that Ryan's career took off once he started working with male partners. Within eight months, his subscriber count grew by over 1,000. 'When he was in jail, I continued creating content with others in the industry," she shared. 'From those conversations, I learned that creators working with men usually earn more. The majority of fans are part of the LGBT community, and they're not really into straight content." Ryan adds, 'I create content with men because that's where the money is." The couple recently collaborated with another creator, Jamie, on a new project. 'A few years ago, I never imagined I'd be making a living doing this," Ryan admits. Despite their online success, Ryan says his friends and family aren't fully aware of what he does. He's also received online abuse and threats for his work. Terri's mother also appeared on the show and asked whether she feared Ryan might fall for one of his male co-stars. Terri replied, 'Not at all. I trust Ryan completely. Our relationship is strong." Initially shocked, her mother says she's come around to the idea, as long as the couple is happy. When asked whether they feel jealous watching each other with other people, Ryan said, 'Of course, a little jealousy is normal, but this is our job. We work with professionals and set clear boundaries." Terri added, 'If I feel someone is unprofessional, I ask Ryan not to work with them." According to a Daily Mail report, the couple's earnings and rising online following have significantly changed their lives. Their story has sparked a wide range of reactions online, some praise it as a new form of love and partnership, while others label it 'wrong'.

Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway Narrowly Miss Manhattan Shooting That Killed 4
As gunmen Shane Devon Tamura went on a shooting spree in Manhattan on Monday, targeting a 44-storey skyscraper at 345 Park Avenue, actresses Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway had joined Stanley Tucci to film the Devil Wears Prada sequel just minutes away from the building, per a report by Daily Mail. The Academy Award winning actresses were shooting 15-minutes away, at 1221 Avenue of the Americas from the midtown Manhattan building where the tragedy had taken place. Although the cast members were working on the same day of the shooting, they had wrapped up their shooting at least three hours before the gunman began mass shooting. Four people, including a police officer, were killed during the mass shooting. In a recent development, Tamura, reportedly left a suicide note claiming that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and pleaded for his brain to be examined. According to CNN, the note stated: "Terry Long football gave me CTE, and it caused me to drink a gallon of antifreeze. You can't go against the NFL; they'll squash you. Study my brain, please. I'm sorry. Tell Rick I'm sorry for everything." The short note had been written over three pages and was later found by the investigators. Terry Long was a footballer who played for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was diagnosed with CTE and died by suicide after drinking antifreeze in 2005. The NFL offices were located on the fifth floor of the office tower. The building houses some of the country's top financial firms, including private equity giant Blackstone, and KPMG. He was armed with a long rifle, wore a bullet-resistant vest, and was seen walking into the 44-story Manhattan office building. He was licensed to carry the weapon in Nevada. While on the 33rd floor, Tamura killed himself by shooting himself in the chest. He opened fire inside the Park Avenue skyscraper, which is just blocks away from Grand Central Station, Rockefeller Centre, and the Museum of Modern Art. The deadly shooting in New York today was the 254th mass shooting in the US this year, according to data from the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit that tracks gun-related violence.
