Deal or no deal: How Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton became the latest power-brand couple

Deal or no deal: Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton were spotted on a weekend away in the Cotswolds - (Schildhorn/BFA.com/Shutterstock)

When Kim Kardashian arrived at the upmarket Cotswolds country house hotel Estelle Manor at the weekend, you’d be forgiven for thinking she was intentionally flying over the radar. Mainly, it was the gargantuan pink Goyard suitcase emblazoned with “Kim” that did it. Oh, and the £100m private jet touchdown, flanked by two bodyguards. Flicking through the paparazzi pictures, it’s a surprise not to see momager Kris Jenner lurking in the bushes, uttering her behind-the-camera catchphrase: “You’re doing amazing, sweetie!”

The cause for all the attention, aside from the obvious, was Kardashian’s choice of companion: Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes’ former F1 champion, who trailed behind her in an all-grey tracksuit (hood up). The newly-rumoured item reportedly enjoyed a night of wining, dining and couples’ massaging before hopping back on Kardashian’s private jet to Paris to promote the launch of her shapewear brand Skims’ collaboration with Nike. Nice how that all worked out, isn’t it? A real stroke of logistical luck.
