Kanye West is reportedly struggling with the idea that Kim Kardashian’s rumored relationship with Lewis Hamilton may be more serious than he first believed.
According to insiders, West initially brushed off reports linking Kardashian and the Formula 1 driver, assuming the connection would be brief, and sources said he was even “comfortable” with their connection and with the F1 champion being around his four children.
“Kanye assumed this would be a fling,” a source said via Star Magazine. “It has become a lot more than he expected.”
The situation reportedly became more difficult for West after Kardashian was photographed in Tokyo with Hamilton and three of her children, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
“The sight of Kim and Lewis posing with his kids like a big happy family really set him off,” the insider said.
Ye and Kardashian finalized their divorce in 2022 after nearly seven years of marriage. They share four children together: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.

Sources also claim the rapper’s reaction has created strain in his marriage to Bianca Censori, with one insider calling his recent behavior “a massive turn-off.”
Last month, a source confirmed to US Weekly that things are definitely serious between them.
“They are going strong and really happy. Lewis is head over heels and those closest to him believe he has finally met his match,” the source said at the time. “He has waited over a decade for his dream girl and is crazy about her.”
“They are both very committed to making things work no matter how long the distance is or how busy they are,” the source added. “Because their relationship started with a friendship first, those closest to them believe this could be endgame for them both.”
Fans will need to wait to here directly from Ye to know how he truly feels about the relationship.
