Lewis Hamilton is quietly overhauling his self-care routine in Los Angeles, insiders claim, as the Formula 1 star navigates the glare of a new relationship with Kim Kardashian and the pressure he feels to look ‘perfect’ in public.
The news came after an unnamed source told the National Enquirer that Lewis Hamilton, 41, has stepped up a range of high-end beauty and restorative treatments in recent months, with his hair and skin allegedly becoming a serious focus behind the scenes. The reported shift has emerged just as his romance with Kardashian continues to fuel headlines, and as he juggles that scrutiny with a full F1 calendar.
For starters, Hamilton has never exactly been a stranger to the spotlight. A seven-time world champion, and now Ferrari’s marquee signing, he has spent years crafting an image that sits somewhere between elite athlete and fashion week regular. What is different now, the insider suggests, is the sheer intensity of attention that comes with linking his name to Kardashian, a woman who built a billion-dollar brand partly on her own face and body.
‘It’s not as though Lewis wasn’t in the spotlight before Kim, but the level of attention on him now is even more intense and so is the pressure he feels to look perfect,’ the source told the National Enquirer. According to that account, Hamilton’s thinning hair has become ‘a top priority’ for the British driver as cameras trail him on and off the grid.
Celebeat cannot independently verify the insider’s claims, so everything should be taken with a grain of salt.
Lewis Hamilton, Kim Kardashian And The Beauty Arms Race
In case you missed it, Hamilton and Kardashian have been linked for months, their rumoured relationship feeding a steady drip of speculation online. Neither has sat down to do the big joint interview, but their presence at the same events and the overlap in their circles have been enough to keep the story alive.
Against that background, the insider paints a picture of a man quietly sliding into Kardashian’s world of extreme beauty maintenance. Hamilton is said to be trying a series of ‘non-invasive’ options, including red light therapy sessions and specialised hair growth serums, in an attempt to slow or disguise hair loss.
Those treatments, as any dermatologist will tell you, tend to offer incremental changes rather than overnight miracles. The source echoes that reality, claiming that ‘the only thing that really makes a big difference is getting a hair transplant surgery’. For now, though, Hamilton is still in the middle of the F1 season, which runs through early December, and the recovery time involved in a transplant makes a drastic move unlikely in the short term.
Ferrari have not commented on Hamilton’s reported treatments, and there is nothing in any team statement or race weekend briefing to suggest that his grooming regime is impacting his performance. On the track, he remains the serious competitor they signed. Off the track, if the source is to be believed, the mirror is getting more of his attention.
Inside Lewis Hamilton’s Reported New Routine
For context, Kardashian has long been open about her own extensive regimen, from facials that look like science experiments to talk of lasers and injectables. According to the insider, she is not pressuring Hamilton to change his appearance, but she is not exactly discouraging his curiosity either.
‘Kim is not demanding he do anything to improve himself but she’s certainly the expert when it comes to all this plastic surgery stuff and she doesn’t see a thing wrong with it,’ the source said. That last bit is key. In Kardashian’s world, tweakments are not a dirty secret, they are maintenance, like getting the car serviced.
The source claims that Hamilton has started leaning into that mindset, reportedly trying Botox and other injectables ‘right alongside Kim’. The image is striking: one of the most successful drivers in F1 history, who built his career on speed, control and sheer grit, now sitting in a treatment chair in Beverly Hills, chasing a smoother forehead.
None of this has been confirmed by Hamilton himself, and there is always a risk in treating a single anonymous source as gospel. Still, the details ring true enough in 2026, when male celebrities are no longer pretending that good genes alone keep them looking eternally 35. The stigma has thinned out, even if the needles have not.
What is more revealing is the emotional subtext. If Hamilton really does feel a sharper pressure to look flawless now that he is dating Kardashian, it is a reminder of how unforgiving the celebrity ecosystem can be, even to men. Ageing, hairlines, laugh lines, all the stuff regular people worry about in the bathroom mirror, get pulled apart in ultra-HD when you are walking into a paddock or out of a restaurant with someone whose every pore has been photographed for a decade.
Nothing in the National Enquirer report suggests Hamilton is spiralling, to be clear. The tone sits closer to meticulous self-optimisation than full-blown panic. A little red light therapy here, a serum there, some injectables to keep the jawline sharp. The kind of incremental upgrades that are almost boringly normal in LA, except this time the client also happens to be Ferrari’s biggest star.
Whether this ‘drastic new routine’ sticks once the novelty of the relationship, or the scrutiny around it, dies down is another question altogether. For now, Hamilton is still racing until December, Kardashian is still the high priestess of the glow-up, and their schedules, along with their skincare, are apparently packed.
