The reality star, 45, has been dating the Formula One racer, 41, since February, and has become a staple presence at various races and events to show her support for her new beau.

Now, after the pair packed on the PDA in a series of steamy snaps, the SKIMS co-founder was forced to address her “rude” behavior in Monaco over the summer, when she “snubbed” Sky Sports’ Martin Brundle at a race.

While attending the Singapore Grand Prix to further support Hamilton, Kardashian engaged in an exchange with Brundle, 67, after her sister, Khlo Kardashian, snubbed him at the Monaco Grand Prix in June.

Admitting she was unaware of the rules at events–where guests on the grid are supposed to speak to broadcasters if they wish to enjoy the gridwalk–she joked with Brundle as she apologized.

“Did I not know the rules? Did we get off on the wrong foot?” she asked as she also placed her hand on his arm.

She then expressed confidence that Hamilton would do well at the race.

The inadvertent snub came just months after she and Hamilton sparked up a romance, with the two being seen together throughout the summer, in London, Paris, and other destinations.

Hamilton, who was previously linked to Nicole Scherzinger for eight years, has also reportedly met Kardashian’s four children, whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West–North, 13, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 7.

Kardashian’s dating life since her divorce, which was finalized in 2022, has sparked a variety of reactions from her ex, who married his new wife, Bianca Censori, a few months after the divorce was finalized.

He famously engaged in a feud that threatened her then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson, after they initially split.

In the time since, the two have occasionally disputed the way they raise their children, and Kardashian has also raised eyebrows over her claims about being a solo parent–specifically after she detailed the number of nannies she has.

In a profile with the Sunday Times, Kardashian revealed that she has a team of five to help with her children, with a setup of one nanny on duty and four others on rotation.

However, she also insisted that the nannies do not take the place of the daily routines she shares with her children.

Among the routines she shares with them are taking them to school, picking them up, and sitting down to have dinner with them every night, she said, where she also admitted she thought she was an “intermediate-strict parent.”

This has included how she has handled her older children’s interests in the spotlight, which has included Saint’s YouTube channel and North’s social media accounts as she pursues reality TV and music.
