Nicole Scherzinger – 2008 to 2015

Lewis and Nicole enjoyed a high-profile relationship which spanned eight years. They were one of the most famous couples in showbiz, but things eventually came to an end.

Lewis' sporting commitments and Nicole's TV and singing career allegedly put strain on their relationship, with them both constantly travelling and being busy.

They called it quits in 2015, and it's believed things didn't end very amicably, with Nicole previously admitting she cut all contact with the F1 star after they split.

Rihanna – 2015

After splitting from Nicole, Lewis was rumoured to be dating Rihanna later in 2015.

Rihanna had been friends with the sports star for many years, but reports began to circulate that they were taking their relationship to a romantic level.

The pair were spotted spending time together in New York during the summer that same year, but neither Lewis or Rihanna confirmed or denied reports of romance.

Veronica Valle – 2015

Later on in 2015, Lewis dated Veronica Valle for around three months.

Their short-lived romance appeared to end sourly, with Veronica previously lifting the lid on their time together and heavily criticising the F1 driver.

Rita Ora – 2016

One X Factor judge wasn't enough, and Lewis allegedly dated Rita Ora in 2016. Though their relationship was never confirmed, they were pictured looking cosy on numerous occasions.

The singer reportedly enjoyed a holiday with Lewis in 2016, and she then attended the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix later that year in November, as his special guest.

Barbara Palvin – 2016

Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin grew close to Lewis in 2016, and the pair are believed to have enjoyed a short-lived fling.

The F1 ace met Hungarian model Barbara at the Cannes Film Festival, and they appeared to hit it off instantly. She then joined him at the European, Hungarian, and Monaco Grands Prix during that season.

Kendall Jenner – 2016

Lewis was linked to supermodel Kendall Jenner in 2016, after he was spotted enjoying a holiday with the Kardashian clan in Cannes and Monaco.

Romance rumours were heightened when Kendall attended the Monaco Grand Prix wearing Lewis' gold chain round her neck.

However the relationship looked to have never got much further, and eventually it fizzled out.

Winnie Harlow – 2016/17

Supermodel Winnie Harlow and Lewis set tongues wagging in 2016 when they were pictured at the GQ Awards together in September 2016.

As romance rumours began to fade, they were then snapped together at the amfAR Gala in Cannes in May 2017 together, but neither spoke out about the alleged relationship.

Sofia Richie – 2017

In 2017, the F1 champion was believed to be dating model Sofia Richie, Lionel Richie's daughter.

Nicki Minaj – 2018

Rapper Nicki Minaj was linked to Lewis in 2018, after rumours that the pair had hooked up in the summer began circulating.

Pictures from New York Fashion Work first had people talking, before Lewis and Nicki began sharing snaps on social media with each other. Most notably, they enjoyed a trip to Dubai together which prompted many of their fans to presume they were an item.

Florence Mueller – 2020

A source previously told The Sun: “Lewis and Florence aren’t dating, they’re just good mates. She joined him on the boat as part of a group of pals with Lewis.

“They get on but there’s nothing romantic going on between them at the moment.”
