Rumours are running rampant that Kim Kardashian might just be Down Under, ahead of her boyfriend Lewis Hamilton competing in the F1 Australian Grand Prix.
Melbourne’s Albert Park is all set to host the sporting event this Sunday, with Hamilton — a Ferrari teammate — already spotted signing autographs on the paddock on Thursday.
As for where Kardashian fits into all of this, the reality star has reportedly been dating Hamilton since at least the start of this year, with the pair making things semi-official through an appearance at the Super Bowl last month.
Naturally, since the WAGS are just as compelling as the athletes, speculation has risen that Kardashian will join Hamilton in Melbourne — but before you go whipping out your pair of Skims, there is so far no confirmation that she is actually in Australia.
A quick sleuth on Kardashian’s socials will turn up only business-related updates on her Instagram Stories, with none of the obligatory kangaroo emojis celebs usually share whenever they visit. Because we ride them to school, remember?
Still, the rumours were loud enough to reach the desk of Australian Grand Prix chief executive Travis Auld, who went ahead and extended Kardashian an invite to the paddock earlier this week.
“I mean we’d have to think about things a bit differently if she turned up,” Auld told the Herald Sun. “We’ve certainly got a spare seat for her.”
Going a step further, Auld even suggested that Kardashian have some sort of role beyond that of a supportive girlfriend in the event she rocks up at Albert Park.
“We’d find a role for her,” he said. “It wouldn’t matter if we found out 24 hours before, we’d do something to get her on the grid or something.”
I’m thinking flag girl? Or perhaps Kardashian can be the one popping the celebratory champagne on the podium à la *that* Paper Magazine cover?
We’ll have to wait and see whether Kardashian actually makes it to Melbourne over the course of this weekend, but she wouldn’t be the only star who has attended the Aussie Grand Prix over the years.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, John Travolta, Channing Tatum and Zac Efron have all been spotted at the event, which is welcome news for anyone who considers celebrity-sighting to be the real, more arduous sport.
The last time Kardashian visited Australia was for a trip to Queensland with then-boyfriend Pete Davidson in 2022 (what a time!), but we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for a potential return in Melbourne this weekend. Watch this space!
