• Kim and Lewis try to avoid Kanye West's reaction
• Kanye West angry over relationship rumors

Media reports indicate that Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton are making every effort to avoid upsetting Kim’s ex-husband, rapper Kanye West.

Sources suggest the American musician is unhappy with rumors about Kim’s new romantic involvement.

A British newspaper source said the new pair are cautious of Kanye’s reaction, especially since he was previously friends with Lewis.

They added that Kim and Lewis “know this could trigger Kanye in many ways,” which is why they are keeping the relationship light and informal for now.

“It’s very careful handling… they’re keeping it just fun,” the source explained.

The source confirmed that Kim and Lewis are not exclusive, and the British driver “is not interested in settling down or marrying anyone, including Kim.”

It was also noted that despite Lewis’s long friendship with the Kardashian family and Kanye, “he has no intention of becoming a stepdad or forming the perfect couple with Kim.”

Meanwhile, Kanye West reportedly struggles to remain composed amid speculation about Kim’s relationship with the seven-time Formula 1 champion.

A source close to Kanye said he is “extremely angry” about the relationship, describing Lewis as “slimy and two-faced.”

The source claimed Kanye had long suspected Lewis’s interest in Kim during their friendship, but reassured himself at the time that there was no real intention.

Kim and Kanye were married for nearly seven years before Kim filed for divorce in 2021. During that period, they developed a friendship with Lewis Hamilton.

Rumors of Kim and Lewis dating surfaced after they were spotted traveling together from the UK to Paris, spending time in the English countryside and later in London and Paris.

Neither has publicly commented on the rumors. The English driver, known for his “very calm spirit,” has been a source of support for Kim in managing her “complex co-parenting situation” with the controversial musician.
