Kanye West is reportedly supportive of Kim Kardashian’s new romance with Lewis Hamilton. Kardashian and Hamilton recently went Instagram-official. The reality star posted a Reel showing her in the passenger seat of a Ferrari while the Formula 1 driver did donuts.
West’s Approval of Hamilton
A source close to West said, “This is a good thing.” The source added that West isn’t questioning whether Hamilton is a good person. He reportedly sees Hamilton as a sweet, smart, good person and an incredible athlete. Hamilton is also reportedly an acquaintance of West’s inner circle.
Last month, Hamilton accompanied Kardashian and three of her children with West—daughter Chicago, and sons Saint and Psalm—on vacation in Tokyo. Hamilton and Saint were spotted shopping together at SNKRDUNK, a store selling shoes, clothing and rare Pokémon cards. West reportedly feels at peace with Hamilton being around his kids. He trusts Hamilton and wants the best for Kardashian’s wellbeing.
A Different Reaction Compared to Pete Davidson
West’s current feelings contrast sharply with his reaction to Kardashian’s previous relationship with Pete Davidson. The source said that West hated Davidson. Kardashian dated the comedian while she and West were embroiled in a messy divorce, which was finalised in November 2022.
During that nine-month relationship, West released a song threatening to “beat Pete Davidson’s ass” and released a music video in which he kidnapped and buried a cartoon version of the comedian, who he snidely nicknamed “Skete.” Kardashian told “Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper that West’s behaviour made her feel really sad and wasn’t fair to Davidson.
West’s Current State of Mind
The source said that West was traumatized because he lost the love of his life. He now admits why he lost her, acknowledging he brought a lot of chaos to her and the world. Kardashian has blamed West’s “toxic” behaviour for their split, referring to his manic “episodes”. She cited a lack of stability and not feeling safe emotionally and financially in the marriage.
Now, the source said that West is at peace. He’s back doing his music and fashion, focusing on his positives and gratitude. The rapper also wants kids with Bianca Censori.
