Speaking at a press panel ahead of the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, on October 24, Hamilton spoke about the happiness he finds in spending time with children in his family. The seven-time world champion mentioned his niece and nephew before opening up about his time with Kardashian's children.

"My niece and nephew always gave me a lot of happiness. My girlfriend's kids, I love spending time with them. She's got four, so I'm getting to play with these kids," Hamilton said.

The British racing driver also shared a detail about his bond with the children, revealing that he bought them a dog this year.

"I got them a dog this year, so little Halo is a new member of that family," he said.

His comments have offered fans another insight into the couple's life away from the spotlight, particularly Hamilton's growing involvement in family activities.

Lewis Hamilton opens up about Kim Kardashian's children

Hamilton has generally kept his personal life private, particularly when it comes to his relationship with Kardashian and her children. His latest remarks, however, offered a direct account of how much he enjoys spending time with them.

The racing champion said being around children brings him happiness, drawing a connection between his time with his niece and nephew and his experiences with Kardashian's family.

His description of the children as people he enjoys "playing with" also offered a relaxed glimpse into their time together, away from the demands of his Formula One career.

Hamilton did not go into detail about their routines or the family's private arrangements. Instead, he spoke warmly about the time they spend together and revealed that gifting them a pet had been one way of adding something special to their household.

The comments stand out because the couple have largely avoided discussing their relationship at length in public, even as their appearances and social media posts have attracted considerable attention.

Halo the dog becomes a new member of the family

One of the most endearing details from Hamilton's comments was his revelation that he gifted Kardashian's children a dog named Halo.

The pet has become a new addition to the family, giving Hamilton another connection with the children beyond shared outings and holidays.

Hamilton referred to Halo as a "new member" of the family, suggesting that the dog has become part of their household life. He did not disclose further details about when the pet arrived or its day-to-day care.

The gift also reflects the lighter side of the relationship that fans have glimpsed through the couple's social media activity. Rather than making a grand public statement about their romance, Hamilton shared a personal detail about an experience that has brought him closer to Kardashian's family.

For fans following the couple, the mention of Halo adds another small but revealing detail to their increasingly visible relationship.

Who are Kim Kardashian's four children?

Kardashian shares four children with her former husband, rapper Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.

Their children are North West, Saint West, Chicago West and Psalm West. North was born in June 2013, Saint in December 2015, Chicago in January 2018 and Psalm in May 2019.

Chicago and Psalm were born through surrogacy. Kardashian and Ye married in 2014, and their divorce was finalised in November 2022.

Kardashian has frequently spoken about the importance of her children in her life, while also sharing selected moments from their family activities on social media.

Her relationship with Hamilton has brought the family into the public conversation, particularly as the two have been seen together during holidays, outings and other activities.

Hamilton's latest remarks provide a rare glimpse into his own perspective on spending time with the children, rather than relying solely on photographs or reports about the couple's appearances.

Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton's relationship

Hamilton and Kardashian have known each other for years, but speculation about a romantic relationship intensified in early 2026 after they were spotted spending time together.

Their relationship became more visible over the following months, with public appearances and social media posts offering glimpses of their time together. The pair have shared moments from outings and trips, although they have generally refrained from giving extensive interviews about their romance.

In April 2026, their relationship became more openly acknowledged through social media activity. Since then, fans have followed occasional updates from the pair, including photographs from holidays and date nights.

Kardashian has also shared moments from family getaways that included Hamilton. These glimpses have fuelled interest in how the racing champion fits into her life beyond their public appearances.

Hamilton's use of the word "girlfriend" during the Austin press panel is particularly notable because it is a direct description of their relationship from the driver himself.

Family time away from the Formula One circuit

Hamilton's professional life involves an extensive travel schedule, demanding race weekends and preparation for competition at the highest level. His comments in Austin offered a glimpse of the personal experiences that bring him happiness outside racing.

By mentioning his niece, nephew and Kardashian's children together, he highlighted the importance he places on spending time with family.

His gift of Halo also became a talking point because it was a concrete example of how he has participated in the children's lives. While Hamilton did not describe himself as a parent or discuss any long-term family plans, his comments made clear that he enjoys being around them.

The distinction matters, given the public interest surrounding celebrity relationships and blended families. Hamilton spoke about affection and shared time without making broader claims about his role in the children's lives.

A rare glimpse into the couple's private life

Although Kardashian and Hamilton have become more visible together, both have generally kept the details of their relationship limited. Their public updates tend to focus on selected moments rather than extended explanations of their private lives.

Hamilton's comments at the Austin panel therefore offered a relatively uncommon opportunity to hear him speak directly about Kardashian's children.

His remarks also showed how a seemingly simple gift can become a window into a relationship that has otherwise remained largely private. Halo, the dog he gifted the children, has become a new family member and a small but memorable part of the couple's story.

For now, Hamilton has offered only a brief account of his time with the children. But his comments make one thing clear: spending time with Kardashian's family is a source of happiness for the Formula One champion, alongside the relationships he already cherishes with his own niece and nephew.
