Kim Kardashian, Lewis Hamilton pack on PDA in Malibu

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton’s rumoured relationship is heating up, with the pair seen getting close during a sun soaked beach date in Malibu that quickly set social media buzzing.

After the businesswoman appeared to quietly hint the connection on Instagram, she and the British racing driver were photographed and filmed by DeuxMoi during a coastal outing in Malibu, where they appeared in good spirits, spending time closely together in the sea.

The images showed the pair looking easy and carefree, with social media instantly split over whether the relationship is the real deal or a deliberate PR move.

For the rare outing, the American media personality chose a streamlined wetsuit teamed with a black bikini top.

Meanwhile, the racing champion went casual for the trip, choosing black shorts and a coordinating tee.

The couple raised eyebrows last week after stepping out for a rug shopping trip in LA, with many taking it as a sign that Kim could be moving in with Lewis.

The F1 star kept things low key in a cap and sunglasses as they made their exit.

Kim had also recently flown an 11,000 mile round trip just to spend a single day in London with Lewis.
