F1 driver posts personal snapshots featuring new dog and celebrity date nights
Lewis Hamilton has published a series of Instagram images offering a glimpse of his private life, including pictures of his newly adopted puppy, a gym selfie and scenes from outings with Kim Kardashian in both London and Paris. The posts were shared under the caption "Bit of this, bit of that" and include moments from recent months.
The F1 champion, who is well known internationally for his racing career, posted a picture of his new dog, named Halo. The posts follow confirmation in July that he had bought a new puppy, months after the death of his previous pet, a British Bulldog called Roscoe, who passed away in September of the previous year.
"Bit of this, bit of that"
Photographs accompanying the post include shots of the couple riding Lime bikes in London, a photograph taken at a Celine Dion concert in Paris and a night out in the French capital after dining at the restaurant Ferdi, according to the social-media captions. The images also show a candid moment from the gym and snapshots of snacks enjoyed during a date night.
Outfits and styling are highlighted across the images. One picture shows Hamilton wearing a leopard-print jacket on a casual day, while Kim Kardashian appears in a white vest top and black leggings for the London outing. The Paris photographs show Kardashian in a reflective golden dress, carrying a small black handbag, and Hamilton in an all-black look with sunglasses, layered neck chains and a Kangol cap.
Background and practical details
Hamilton has been publicly open about his relationship and lifestyle for some time; these images add to a pattern of sharing personal milestones and leisure activities with followers. The arrival of Halo comes after Hamilton’s long-standing relationship with dog trainer Kirstin McMillian, who previously worked with Roscoe and is reported to have travelled to Maine to see Halo before the puppy came to live with Hamilton.
- New pet: Puppy named Halo, confirmed in July.
- Previous pet: Roscoe, a British Bulldog who died last September.
- Recent outings: Lime bike ride in London; dinner and concert in Paris.
The posts include a mix of personal and public moments rather than a single event. One image captures the pair attending a Celine Dion concert in Paris, while others show low-key domestic scenes such as snacks during a date night and a gym mirror selfie. The social-media update appears to be a casual selection of images rather than the promotion of a commercial project.
What the images indicate for followers
For followers and fans, the photos underline Hamilton’s continuing high-profile lifestyle away from the track — combining leisure and celebrity culture with private domestic life. They also mark a personal transition for the driver following the loss of his previous dog, signalling the arrival of a new companion in his home life.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Puppy name | Halo |
| Previous dog | Roscoe (died September, previous year) |
| Locations shown | London and Paris |
The imagery is likely to attract attention from both motorsport followers and celebrity-watchers, reflecting Hamilton’s status as a public figure active in international social circles. While the posts offer a window into his life beyond the paddock, no further announcements about professional plans or racing were included in the social-media dump.
Locally in Hamilton and across Scotland, such high-profile public appearances and posts often provoke discussion about the lives of prominent sportspeople beyond their competitive achievements, and how they balance public exposure with private milestones.
