Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian made a high-profile appearance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Saturday, April 11, 2026, attending Justin Bieber’s headline performance together in what represents one of their most visible public outings as a couple.
The group included Kardashian’s 12-year-old daughter North West and Hamilton’s close friend, Olympic fencer Miles Chamley-Watson. Fan footage circulated widely on X showed the four walking into Bieber’s set, which featured the track ‘GO BABY’ performed beneath pulsing pink and purple lights and stage smoke before a packed crowd.
The Coachella appearance came just days after Hamilton, 41, appeared to formally confirm the relationship on Instagram. On April 6, the Ferrari driver posted a Reel from Tokyo captioned “HERE WE GO AGAIN TOKYO DRIFT VOL. III,” in which he is shown drifting a red Ferrari F40 through city streets before the camera pans to reveal Kardashian smiling from the passenger seat. The post went viral almost immediately.
Kardashian, 45 — founder of shapewear brand SKIMS and long-established figure in global entertainment — and Hamilton, now in his first season with Ferrari following his high-profile departure from Mercedes, have been the subject of growing public attention since the Tokyo footage surfaced. According to reports, Hamilton is said to have gained approximately half a million Instagram followers in the period surrounding the relationship’s public confirmation, reversing a reported decline from January.
Hamilton’s move to Ferrari ahead of the 2025 season marked one of the most significant driver transfers in recent Formula 1 history. The British driver, who holds the record for the most world championship titles jointly with Michael Schumacher at seven, left Mercedes after more than a decade with the team. His transition to the Scuderia has attracted sustained media scrutiny both on and off the track.
Coachella, held annually in Indio, California, is widely recognised as one of the most prominent music and arts festivals in the world and draws a significant celebrity presence each year. The 2026 edition, with Justin Bieber among its headline acts, provided a prominent backdrop for the couple’s continued public appearances.
The Tokyo dinner and the festival outing mark two of the most documented occasions the pair have been seen together publicly. Prior to the April 6 Instagram post, the nature of their relationship had not been formally confirmed by either party.
