Lewis Hamilton has speed in his veins as a Formula One racer , but when it comes to settling down, he’s taking his time. The F1 champion’s most high-profile relationship was with Nicole Scherzinger , whom he dated on and off for seven years before calling it quits.

“We don’t, like, talk,” she said during an October 2016 appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show , noting, “I think it’s quite natural when people separate and go their own ways.” Hamilton, meanwhile, has chosen to focus on his career since their public breakup — but he does want to find The One and become a father. “One day [I want kids],” he told the Sunday Times in September 2024.

“I wouldn’t be able to do what I do to the level that I do it today with that. One of my best friends has just had a kid and I’m seeing how manic it is — and my nieces and nephew are a handful.” Hamilton added, “There will be a time and a place for it, and I can’t wait for that part.
