Kim Kardashian has set the internet ablaze after posting a cheerful photo carousel on Instagram on Monday, 17 August 2026, featuring Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton alongside her children. The billionaire reality TV star captioned the post simply: "Somewhere over the rainbow 🌈"

The timing of the post surprised many followers, given that rumours of a split between Kim and Hamilton had been circulating widely in the days leading up to it. Far from suggesting trouble in paradise, the images painted a picture of a blended family having a brilliant time together — a detail that caught fans completely off guard.
