Lewis Hamilton's first publicly known long-term girlfriend was Jodie Ma, a relationship that lasted about four years, from 2003 to 2007. They met at the Cambridge School of Science and Arts, while Ma was studying event management. Despite their split in 2007, Ma was still seen with Hamilton when he won his first Formula 1 championship in 2008.

Nicole Scherzinger was Hamilton's most serious and longest relationship. They met at the MTV EMAs in 2007 and experienced multiple breakups and reconciliations before finally ending in 2015. The reason was reportedly the pressure from their long-distance relationship and Hamilton's demanding racing schedule.

After breaking up with Scherzinger, Hamilton was rumored to be dating supermodel Gigi Hadid in 2015, as they were seen together on multiple occasions. However, the British driver asserted they were just friends.

Hamilton faced romance rumors with singer Rihanna after they attended a carnival in Barbados together in 2015. He later denied it, stating they were long-time close friends who occasionally met up.

Also in 2015, Hamilton was linked to model Kendall Jenner after several joint appearances. They even vacationed together on a yacht. The Formula 1 driver dismissed the rumors, insisting their relationship was strictly platonic.

Hamilton was reportedly close with singer Rita Ora after they vacationed together in summer 2016. Ora even appeared to support Hamilton at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix later that year, but neither confirmed a romance.

Singer Nicki Minaj was rumored to be involved with Hamilton, after the rapper posted photos of them in the Dubai desert in 9/2018. A week prior, they had also been seen together at a New York Fashion Week event.

Hamilton also faced dating rumors with singer Shakira after multiple appearances together in Miami, Barcelona, and Silverstone in 2023. The relationship was later confirmed to be merely a "beautiful friendship".

In early 2025, Hamilton was rumored to be dating actress Sofia Vergara after they were seen dining together in New York. Sofia is 13 years older than Hamilton and was reportedly seeking a different kind of relationship. However, they broke up after just a few months.

Recently, Hamilton is reportedly enjoying a low-key relationship with Kim Kardashian. Kardashian flew to England on a private jet, staying less than 24 hours to meet Hamilton, but neither has confirmed it.
