Lewis Hamilton has been linked to a string of glamorous Hollywood women – including, most recently, Sofía Vergara – but his background and upbringing in the UK couldn’t have been more ordinary

The duo were joined by friends at Breakfast by Salt Cure in the West Village. Vergara was reportedly so animated from the conversation that she barely touched her food, according to TMZ.
Both Vergara and Hamilton have had various high-profile relationships over the years. After Vergara split up with Joe Manganiello in 2023 following nearly a decade together, she went on to date orthopaedic surgeon Justin Saliman.
However, in October 2024, she revealed that she was single again. “Totally,” she told Us Weekly in response to a question about whether she still thought New York City was the best place to date. “Actually, I was talking yesterday about it because now I’m single so … kind of single. [Laughs.] Anyways.”
It’s unclear whether Hamilton and Vergara are actually together or just friends, with one source telling Us Weekly that their outing was “merely a casual lunch with a big group of friends in a group setting” and “by no means a date”.
Despite his glamorous lifestyle – and even more glamorous girlfriends – Hamilton nevertheless comes from a humble background in the UK. Here’s what we know about Lewis Hamilton’s parents and upbringing.
