Lewis Hamilton welcomed into the Kardashian clan in Cannes

Lewis Hamilton has been hanging out with the Kardashians in Cannes, following rumours that he and Kendall Jenner may be dating.

The 30-year-old racing driver appeared in a picture Kim Kardashian posted online of her “Cannes Clique”, enjoying dinner together in the South of France hotspot.

Kris Jenner, her daughter Kylie Jenner, Tyga, Ryan Seacrest, Corey Gamble and comedian Steve Harvey also appeared in the group photo, which saw pregnant Kim posing centre stage, but sitting at the table so her latest baby bump is still yet to have its official unveiling.

Kendall, 19, was not in Cannes, but her momager Kris has reportedly given Lewis her seal of approval after he and Kendall were photographed together at the Formula One Grand Prix race in Monaco.

Mercedes driver Lewis – who split from singer Nicole Scherzinger at the beginning of the year – was consoled by Kendall and her model pals Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid and Hailey Baldwin, after he came third in the race, losing out to teammate Nico Rosberg, who took pole position.
