In the midst of the Formula 1 break and with an intense year ahead, Lewis Hamilton has once again made headlines globally. However, it was not due to any announcement or movement regarding Ferrari, his new team, but rather personal matters. Recently, the American outlet TMZ Sports surprised fans by revealing an unexpected meeting between the renowned Colombian actress and model Sofía Vergara and the multiple champion of the highest motorsport competition. The two shared lunch in New York City, sparking rumors about a possible connection between them. According to the details provided by the outlet, the pair was seated at a table by the window of the restaurant, displaying notable comfort and closeness during their conversation. Some witnesses noted that “Sofía was so focused that she barely touched her food,” while Hamilton appeared very animated, showcasing “a broad smile.” The lengthy meeting took place in the company of friends. Ultimately, a video that later went viral captured the moment they got into the back of a black SUV to leave, exchanging gestures as they departed. Both Vergara, aged 52, and Hamilton, aged 40, have had notable romantic histories that have been under public scrutiny. Vergara has been single since July 2023, when she announced her separation from actor Joe Manganiello after nearly eight years of marriage. “We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people who care for each other deeply, we ask that you please respect our privacy as we navigate this new phase of our lives,” they stated in a joint announcement at that time. Following her divorce, Vergara had a brief relationship with orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman, but as indicated, she is currently enjoying her single status. In January, during her appearance at the Golden Globes, she jokingly expressed to Access Hollywood that she wished for “health, money, and a lover in 2025.” On the other hand, the famous driver, while performing on the tracks, has also had a media presence regarding his romantic life, having been linked to figures such as Nicole Scherzinger intermittently from 2007 to 2015. More recently, he has been associated with Shakira, another prominent Colombian, as well as other personalities like Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner. Although rumors have circulated, there has been no official confirmation regarding his romantic status, although his social media presence continues to show chemistry that has caught the attention of all present. Meanwhile, the driver is preparing to face a season filled with challenges with a different team after the last 11 years. Now, he will change his silver arrow suit for a red one, aiming to conquer his eighth championship title, which would position him as the most successful driver in the history of the sport.
