Kim Kardashian has joked she is 44% British, a cheeky nod to her romance with Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton. The two have been linked since February after nearly a decade of friendship. Their relationship went Instagram official in June 2026 through a carousel that included a bike ride video of the pair. Fans have waited months for a hint, and this remark delivers one with a wink.

As fans spent months decoding bike rides and cryptic captions, Kardashian finally handed them a punchline with a very British accent on The Kardashians.

The tease arrived on The Kardashians, where Kim Kardashian turned her Lewis Hamilton romance into a joke about nationality. The number 44 is Hamilton’s signature racecar number, so the percentage doubles as a love note hidden in plain sight. The wordplay also lands harder because the Formula 1 champion is British himself, born in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, England, and a holder of British citizenship. Earlier this month, Kardashian told The Times of London she would rather not discuss the relationship, but the happiness eventually found its way out anyway.

“Funny I’m 44% British, if you know what I mean,” Kardashian said.

She then added, “Let’s just say that every single box on my manifest list was checked.”

The moment came in episode 3 of The Kardashians, which is streaming on Hulu and Disney +. Kardashian was chatting with comedian Nikki Glaser about a list of 50 traits she wants in a partner, yet she later counted 55 ticks, which is generous math. Producers pushed for more details, but she kept it short and said she was very happy. Cameras also caught her taking a private call with Hamilton while filming.

Kardashian plays her romance close to the chest with a single cheeky number, while the show itself opens the season by handing the family over to a glitching algorithm.

The eighth season of The Kardashians opened with credits generated entirely by artificial intelligence, featuring distorted digital versions of the family. The sequence parodied a kitchen scene where a digital Kris Jenner and her daughters traded playful jabs about technology, packed schedules, and unpolished acting. Once the family gathered in Calabasas to start production, Khloé Kardashian grew an oversized eye, Kim Kardashian got a swollen ear, and Kylie Jenner sprouted a digital tail.

The sequence peaked when the real Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner strode in to confront their glitching doubles. Viewers were split, with some praising the self-aware humor and others calling the result awkward or uncanny. While viewers debated AI’s place in television, Kardashian was busy dropping a very British hint of her own.
