Lewis Hamilton’s life off the track often sparks as much intrigue as his on-track successes, especially when it comes to his romantic life. After his well-known relationship with Nicole Scherzinger, the Formula One icon has kept his love life relatively private, but rumors have continued to swirl. From pop stars to supermodels, Hamilton’s name has been linked to several high-profile women. Let’s dive into the relationships that have caught the public’s eye over the years.
Lewis Hamilton: early relationships before fame
Before becoming a household name in Formula One, Lewis Hamilton had a few early relationships. Back in 2002, when Hamilton was still rising in the racing world, he briefly dated model and TV personality Danielle Lloyd.
They met at a nightclub, and Danielle described an instant connection between them. Although their relationship was short, she later expressed pride in Hamilton’s success in F1.
Hamilton also dated Jodia Ma, a Cambridge student, for four years between 2003 and 2007. Even after their breakup, Jodia remained supportive, famously predicting that Hamilton would one day become F1 World Champion—an accurate forecast indeed.
Lewis Hamilton's time with Nicole Scherzinger
Perhaps the most talked-about of Hamilton’s relationships was his on-and-off romance with pop star Nicole Scherzinger. The pair met at an MTV awards show and were together for nearly eight years.
Despite the intense relationship, they ultimately parted ways in 2015. Nicole later admitted it was one of the hardest decisions she had to make, but both agreed it was time to move on.
