Kanye West allegedly accused Kim Kardashian of flirting with Lewis Hamilton years before

Kanye West accused Kim Kardashian of being 'flirtatious' with Lewis Hamilton long before she started seeing the F1 driver, The Sun has disclosed.

The reality television star and entrepreneur has been acquainted with Ferrari racer Lewis for more than ten years, although the relationship recently turned romantic.

However, her former husband Kanye, 48, had in the past accused her of showing interest in Lewis while they were still together.

Kim and Kanye were married from 2014 until 2021, and an insider mentions that the Yeezy founder’s jealousy often flared up concerning Lewis.

“It was extremely uncomfortable since whenever they were together, Kanye would frequently become jealous and claim Kim was flirting with Lewis,” the insider shared.

They added: “She definitely wasn’t flirting – but Kanye was so unpredictable that if Kim just got along well with someone, he'd accuse her of more.”

Kim and Kanye have children together and five years ago cited “irreconcilable differences” in their divorce proceedings.

Lewis was a mutual friend of both Kim and Kanye, with their bond built through a shared enthusiasm for fashion. 

The athlete even celebrated Easter at their marital home back in 2016.

The new romantic partners have enjoyed various outings in multiple cities over the last few weeks, including London and Paris, fitted around Kim’s professional obligations.
