Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton and reality television star Kim Kardashian have embarked on a romantic relationship, it has emerged.
The seven-time world champion, aged 41, and the 45-year-old American celebrity spent a romantic weekend together at Estelle Manor, an exclusive country retreat in the Cotswolds.
Despite moving in the same celebrity circles for over a decade, the pair had never previously been linked romantically.
The mother-of-four jetted into Oxford Airport on Saturday aboard her £100million private aircraft, while the Ferrari driver touched down approximately an hour later via helicopter from Battersea Heliport.
Their stay at the Grade II-listed property in Witney, Oxfordshire, included sharing accommodation and enjoying the venue's luxurious amenities together.
Sources revealed that the couple were granted exclusive access to the spa and pool facilities during the evening hours.
A source told The Sun: "It all appeared to be very romantic. Kim and Lewis made use of all the facilities on offer."

The pair had arranged a couple's massage and enjoyed the amenities without other guests present.
Security remained discreet throughout their stay, with two of the three protection officers stationed outside their room to ensure privacy.
"Two of the three stood guard outside the door to their room, so no one could disturb them," the source added.

Following their spa session, Hamilton and Kardashian dined privately, choosing to eat away from other guests at the venue where rooms start at over £1,000 per night.
Neither shared any content from their stay on social media.
Hamilton and Kardashian first crossed paths on the celebrity circuit, photographed alongside their respective partners Kanye West and Nicole Scherzinger at the 2014 GQ Men of the Year Awards in London.
The British racing star developed a close bond with Kardashian's former husband, with West inviting him to spend Easter with the family in 2015.
"Lewis Hamilton's over at my house and we're playing some music in my studio," West said at the time. "We're having an Easter brunch and all of the family's there."
Hamilton subsequently joined the Kardashian-West clan when the rapper headlined Glastonbury that same year.

Their mother Kris Jenner had also spent time with Hamilton in the Monaco Grand Prix pits back in 2019.
Following Kardashian's 2021 divorce from West, she and Hamilton remained close, both receiving awards at the Wall Street Journal's innovator ceremony.
The couple departed Estelle Manor together on Sunday morning around 11am, travelling in the same vehicles that had collected Kardashian from the airport.
An onlooker noted her extensive luggage, including eight personalised suitcases and an £80,000 Birkin bag that required two hands to carry.
Kardashian had previously revealed creating a manifestation list in August 2024 containing 52 requirements for a partner, including "good morals and values" and someone who "takes accountability".
Hamilton's longest previous relationship was with former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger, lasting from 2007 until 2015.
