Reflecting on what brings him joy away from the paddock, Hamilton highlighted his time with his extended family and Kardashian’s household:
-
Finding Balance Outside F1:“My niece and nephew always gave me a lot of happiness. My girlfriend’s kids, I love spending time with them. She’s got four, so I’m getting to play with these kids. I got them a dog this year, so little Halo is a new member of that family.”

The Pup’s Arrival: The Golden Retriever puppy, named Halo, was brought into the fold during F1’s summer shutdown in July. Sourced through breeder Goldiva Goldens, the dog was flown to Los Angeles, where Hamilton and Kardashian spent time off the grid before the second half of the racing calendar resumed.

Social Media Updates: Kardashian and Hamilton have both shared glimpses of Halo settling into the household, with recent clips showing the growing retriever playing with toys alongside daughter Chicago.
