Friends of Nicole Scherzinger are sounding the alarm as Kim Kardashian's alleged romance with Lewis Hamilton heats up, cautioning the reality star about the Formula 1 driver's reported volatile behaviour. While the budding relationship has captivated fans and tabloids alike, insiders close to Hamilton's former flame warn that his charm may mask a more difficult temperament. The warning comes on the heels of a whirlwind week for the pair, who have been spotted across Europe enjoying a series of high-profile dates.

Those who witnessed Hamilton's eight-year relationship with Scherzinger, the former Pussycat Dolls frontwoman, claim the dynamic was far from a fairytale. Sources allege that behind closed doors, the British racing icon often left the singer in distress, raising concerns that Kardashian could be walking into a similarly turbulent situation.

Friends Reveal Why Scherzinger Was Regularly Left In Tears

The romance between Hamilton and Scherzinger, which spanned from 2007 to 2015, was widely publicised as a passionate but tumultuous affair.

Associates of the singer have now come forward to shed light on the emotional toll the relationship took on her. According to these insiders, Hamilton's commitment levels wavered drastically, leaving Scherzinger in a constant state of uncertainty.

A source close to Scherzinger told The Sun: 'Lewis was the master of blowing hot and cold. One minute he would be buying her gifts and saying he loved her, the next, he would cause an enormous argument and then ignore her for days.'

This pattern of behaviour reportedly created significant emotional instability for the singer. The insider elaborated on the difficult dynamic, stating, 'There was a real nasty streak. She would often be left in tears after rows with him.'

Hamilton Reportedly Put Friends Ahead of His Love Life

The drama goes deeper than just their arguments. Insiders are now asking if he was actually committed to making things work or if he was simply too focused on his own circle. Sources claim that despite the longevity of his relationship with Scherzinger, he often struggled to balance his personal life with his social interests.

The warning issued to Kardashian suggests that the driver's loyalty to his male friends frequently overshadowed his romantic commitments.

'He seemed to be a lot more interested in hanging out with his 'bros' than with his girlfriend,' the insider added.

This alleged preference for his social circle over his partner reportedly contributed to the friction that eventually ended his previous long-term relationship. Following their final split, Scherzinger, now 47, expressed her heartbreak publicly. 'I'm devastated that it didn't work out. It was the hardest decision we had to make,' she said at the time.

Three Dates In Three Days Spark Global Frenzy

Despite the warnings from the past, Kardashian, 45, and Hamilton, 41, appear to be moving quickly. The pair recently dominated headlines after enjoying three consecutive dates in three different locations, signalling a potentially serious connection.

Their rendezvous began with an exclusive meetup at a retreat in the Cotswolds, followed by a stay at a top London hotel after Kardashian chartered her private jet to the U.K.

The trio of dates culminated with a glamorous evening in Paris. Sources say they rented out Aqua Kyoto, a popular upscale spot, so they could enjoy their Paris date night without prying eyes.

This rapid succession of international dates suggests a high level of effort and interest from both parties, contrasting with the 'hot and cold' behaviour described by Scherzinger's circle.

Insiders View Hamilton As A 'Sophisticated Upgrade'

Back in Los Angeles, those in Kardashian's inner circle seem optimistic about the match. Friends have reportedly coined a nickname for the Ferrari driver, referring to him as 'her Russell Wilson'. This comparison to the NFL star—who is widely praised for his role as a stepfather to Ciara's child—indicates that Kardashian's friends view Hamilton as a stable, positive figure.

The insider noted that friends see the driver as a 'sophisticated upgrade' from her ex-husband, Kanye West. 'Lewis has a very calm spirit, and he has been there for Kim through her complex co-parenting situation with Kanye,' the source added. They further noted that the pair have 'stayed connected for years' and that her four children 'love him'.

Kardashian shares four children with West: North, 12; Saint, 10; Chicago, eight; and Psalm, six. Even the matriarch of the family seems to approve. Kris Jenner, 70, has publicly praised Hamilton's achievements in the past, once even suggesting he would be a suitable match for her other daughter, Kendall Jenner.
