“He’s waited over a decade for the girl of his dreams and he’s crazy about her.”
The couple have been navigating the relationship across considerable distances, with Hamilton, 41, regularly FaceTiming Kardashian, 45, from the paddock during his demanding F1 schedule.
According to the source, Kardashian has been “incredibly supportive” of their engagements, and they are both committed to making it work no matter the logistics.

Hamilton and Kardashian have known each other since at least 2014, and have been seen together at various events over the years.
Things seemed to change earlier this year when they were spotted spending time together at Estelle Manor in Oxfordshire, England.
