Kim Kardashian celebrates birthday in Rome, discusses relationship with Lewis Hamilton

Kim Kardashian marked her 46th birthday with a lavish celebration in Rome, accompanied by her mother Kris Jenner. The reality television star and entrepreneur was seen exiting the Bulgari Hotel in a striking sheer black lace gown featuring a cut-out waist, silver rhinestone detailing, and a leaf-print bust.

Earlier in the day, Kardashian and Jenner visited the Bvlgari store. Kardashian wore a plunging white gown for the outing, paired with towering platform heels and her signature high ponytail. Jenner complemented the ensemble with a pink Chanel jacket and a maroon co-ord set.

While celebrating in Rome, Kardashian also spoke about her relationship with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton. She revealed on a recent episode of "The Kardashians" that she is "really, really happy" with Hamilton, stating he meets all the requirements on her relationship checklist. The couple has been romantically linked since February and has since become official on social media.

Kardashian elaborated on her past relationship choices, telling comedian Nikki Glaser on the set of their film "The Fifth Wheel" that she spent five years being single to "completely heal" and focus on her children and work. She indicated she was not ready to open up romantically until she felt personally healed and ready.

Since confirming their relationship, Kardashian has attended several of Hamilton's Formula One races. The couple has also traveled together to Japan and Paris, and reportedly spent time at Estelle Manor in the Cotswolds. They made a public appearance together at the 2026 Super Bowl.

Kardashian, who shares four children with her ex-husband Kanye West, is reportedly taking her relationship with Hamilton seriously. Sources have described Hamilton as an "easy-going guy with great energy," and noted that her family approves of him. Despite their busy careers, they make an effort to see each other frequently. An insider told People magazine that there is "more than just a casual connection" and that Hamilton has "definitely intrigued" Kardashian.

Hamilton, who has previously been linked to Nicole Scherzinger and Sofía Vergara, has known Kardashian for several years prior to their romantic involvement.
