Lewis Hamilton finished second at the Monaco F1 Grand Prix
At the Formula 1 race in Monte Carlo on Sunday, June 7, Hamilton appeared to blow the “All’s Fair” actress a kiss from the podium while celebrating his second-place finish.
In videos posted to social media, the “Kardashians” reality star could be seen filming the Ferrari driver on his phone as he stood next to his teammates in the crowd. Hamilton can be seen blowing him a kiss and smiling before placing his trophy on the podium to encourage the other champions.
F1’s Instagram account posted a video of the moment with the caption “YOU ARE DOING AMAZING, SWEETIE.” The post received more than 1.2 million likes in just under eight hours, as well as more than seven thousand comments, with some warnings to Hamilton about the “Kardashian curse.”
What is the Kardashian curse?
The Kardashian Curse is a pop culture urban legend that claims that men who begin dating a member of the Kardashian-Jenner family begin to experience a decline in their career, mental health, or social circle.
The “curse” first emerged in the early 2010s and has been attributed to Lamar Odom, Kris Humphries, James Harden and a few others. Earlier this year, Kendall Jenner appeared in a Super Bowl LX commercial mocking the curse by joking about betting on her ex-boyfriends. In 2018, Kanye West also referenced the “Kardashian Curse” in her song “Yikes.”
Khloé Kardashian also showed up to support Lewis Hamilton
On Saturday, June 6, Kim was seen arriving in Monaco by boat, according to PEOPLE magazine. However, she was not alone. His sister, Khloe Kardashianand family friend Simon Huck also came out to support Kim’s boyfriend.
Hamilton arrived a day early, wearing a sheer shirt covered in sequins and beige pants. Fans suspected the reality star’s influence might play a role in her new wardrobe. Although Kim has known Hamilton for over a decade, they only started dating earlier this year.

In 2014, the two men crossed paths during the GQ Men of the Year ceremony. However, they didn’t start dating until February 2006, when they had a “romantic encounter” in Paris, as PEOPLE previously reported. The following month, Hamilton left a flirty comment on one of Kim’s Instagram posts, fueling fan rumors.
That same month, they were seen vacationing together in Tokyo with Kim’s four children: North, 12; Saint, 10 years old; Chicago, 8 years; and Psalm 7. Kim shares her four children with her ex-husband, Kanye West. Kim was married to West from 2014 to 2022.
“Kim is very selective about who she allows around her kids,” a source tells PEOPLE. “She is very protective of them and doesn’t take new introductions lightly. The fact that Lewis spent time with the children reflects how much she trusts him.”
