Kim Kardashian's Cheekiest Lewis Hamilton Hint Yet: "I'm 44% British"
Kim Kardashian has found a playful way to talk about her boyfriend without ever saying his name. On Thursday's episode of The Kardashians, the 46-year-old reality star told her mother Kris Jenner and sister Khloé Kardashian that an ancestry result showed she is "44% British" — then let the number do the flirting. "Funny I'm 44% British, if you know what I mean," she said with a grin. "That might really go over your head," according to People.
The number 44
A producer quickly joined the dots for viewers: 44 is the signature racecar number of seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, whom Kim has been linked with since February, People reported. The pair went Instagram official in April, and earlier this month Kim travelled to Singapore to cheer him on at the F1 Singapore Grand Prix, where he finished second. She was spotted in the Ferrari garage as Hamilton celebrated the result, crash.net reported — a sign, fans said, that the couple are growing more comfortable in public.
The manifest list whisper
Later in the episode, Kim was on the set of her upcoming film The Fifth Wheel, where the conversation turned to her famous "manifest list" — the checklist of nearly 55 qualities she says she wants in a partner. Leaning in to co-star Nikki Glaser, Kim whispered that someone — the name was bleeped out — "hits every single beat on my manifest list," People reported.
Six words, and a boundary
Pressed for more, Kim offered six words and a firm boundary. "I am just really, really happy," she said in a confessional. "That's all I'll say for right now," according to People. It is the most she has said publicly about the romance — and, like the number 44, it said plenty without naming a name.
