Kim Kardashian has been spending time with Lewis Hamilton in Japan ahead of his F1 race on Sunday, where she is set to publicly cheer him on for the first time.
The reality TV star, 45, has brought three of her four children - Chicago, nine, Psalm, six, and Saint, ten - along with her so that she can 'support' the racing driver, 41, according to The Sun.
'She was at the Las Vegas Grand Prix last year but kept things quiet because their relationship was still in the early stages,' a source told the publication.
'Now they are a proper couple and she will be cheering him on with the kids. They’ve been hanging out together in Tokyo and have been having a great time.'
On Thursday, Kardashian shared a few Instagram snaps with her kids from Tokyo, while Hamilton posted photos of himself with expert Tetsuro Shimaguchi, 55, as he wielded a samurai sword. Shimaguchi choreographed fight scenes in the film Kill Bill (2003).
The duo were also spotted by fans grabbing dinner together on Wednesday.

A source recently told People of Kardashian's rumored romance with Hamilton, 'It's more than just a casual connection. It takes a lot to capture Kim's interest and she's definitely intrigued.'
'He's just an easygoing guy with great energy. Her family likes him and Kim's very into him. They are both busy with their careers, but see each other as much as possible.'

Hamilton appeared in good spirits while out and about with Kardashian, even waving to a fan in one photo shared online.
Last week Hamilton dropped the biggest sign yet that his romance with Kardashian is the real deal, as he showed his appreciation for her sizzling Instagram snaps.
The aspiring lawyer nearly stole the spotlight in a skintight gold gown as she attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party on Sunday night.
Posting snaps from the night on Instagram, Kardashian showed off her dazzling party look which included the form-fitting gold gown adorned with glittering detailing.
Among the thousands of comments, Lewis showed his appreciation by posting a heart-eyes emoji.
The A-list duo are believed to be dating after being spotted together on two separate occasions in recent weeks, including at last month's Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California.

Rumors first surfaced when they were pictured checking into an upmarket hotel in the Cotswolds together at the end of January, and whispers of a relationship have grown louder ever since.
Sources previously told People that Lewis 'is head over heels and those closest to him believe he has finally met his match' in Kim.
Hamilton has been 'FaceTiming' with Kardashian 'regularly from the paddock,' after the F1 season kicked off.
And though they can't spend as much time together as they would like, Kardashian has been 'incredibly supportive' of Hamilton's busy schedule.
The two are reportedly both 'very committed to making things work' and those close to the pair believe 'this could be endgame for them both'.
'Lewis is such a great guy and has really been courting her and treating her right. He's been making all the plans and making sure she is taken care of.'
'Everyone around her thinks it's really sweet and what she deserves. Kim has had such a relaxed aura recently in all aspects of her life,' the insider added.
Kardashian and Hamilton have been friends for years, and were pictured with their then-partners, Kanye and Nicole Scherzinger, in 2014 at the GQ Men of the Year Awards in London.

In 2015, Kardashian's ex-husband invited Hamilton to spend Easter with their family, with the rapper saying at the time: 'Lewis Hamilton's over at my house and we're playing some music in my studio.'
Kardashian previously dated NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., comedian Pete Davidson, her second ex-husband Kris Humphries, retired NFL running back Reggie Bush, singer Ray J and her first ex-husband Damon Thomas.
Lewis has had his fair share of romances, most famously an on-off relationship with Pussycat Dolls star Scherzinger from 2007 until their final split in 2015.
More recently, he was linked to model Ashley Moore in September 2025 and British singer Raye last summer.
