Lewis Hamilton's chaotic love life as he leaves Sofia Vergara 'feeling abandoned'
Modern Family star Sofia Vergara and Formula One icon Lewis Hamilton are said to have called time on their brief romance after just a few months of low-key dating
Formula 1 icon Sir Lewis Hamilton has enjoyed a number of high-profile relationships over the years but has yet to settle down. The British racing legend's most recent fling with Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara has ended just weeks after the pair first sparked rumours of a romance.
Lewis, 40, and Sofia, 52, enjoyed a cosy date in New York City back in January, with the pair looking engrossed in conversation. But it seems the flame has quickly extinguished, with sources claiming that Lewis' interest has already waned.
It's reported Sofia was hopeful for a potential future with Lewis, racing champ was "the perfect boyfriend and a great catch." Sofia apparently was smitten and ready for a deeper commitment, but insiders say the Formula One ace's interest swiftly dwindled, leaving her feeling rather "abandoned."
As Lewis returns to the dating market, we take a look at his famous ex-girlfriends and some of the surprising names the F1 champion has been linked to.
Before his long-term romance with Nicole Scherzinger of Pussycat Dolls fame, Lewis was once linked to former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Danielle Lloyd. Prior to becoming a household name, Lewis had a brief fling with Danielle - a model notably associated with high-profile footballers like Jermain Defoe, Teddy Sheringham, and Jamie O'Hara.
Despite her intertwined history with sports stars and marrying Jamie O'Hara in 2012 (divorcing just two years later), it was her encounter with a teenage Lewis at the London hotspot 10 Rooms that caught attention. Now aged 41, Danielle reminisced about their six-month whirlwind ended by logistical challenges during an interview with the Daily Mail.
The pair's fleeting connection started with exchanged numbers after a night out, maintained through calls and texts due to living in different cities, Danielle recalled: "We were both out with friends, but there was a bit of a spark and we swapped numbers," she explained.
"After that I went back to Liverpool and he lived in London but we stayed in touch." Despite the end of their romance, Danielle still cherishes memories with Lewis, stating, "He's a special person, but there's no more romance."
Lewis' longest relationship was with pop sensation Nicole Scherzinger. In the heady days of the early 2010s, Lewis and Nicole were the epitome of a power couple – regularly snapped at glitzy events and seemingly head over heels in love.
The duo were together for a solid eight years from 2007 to 2015, until they unexpectedly ended their relationship, leaving fans utterly gobsmacked and bewildered. Nicole shot to fame as the lead vocalist of The Pussycat Dolls, later taking a step back from music to focus on her role as a judge on The X Factor from 2012 to 2017.
Engagement rumours buzzed around the enamoured pair in 2014, but when probed by The Sun about whether they were set to tie the knot, Lewis clarified: "No, I'm not," and just a year later, they parted ways. Their breakup sent shockwaves around the globe, with the true reasons behind their separation remaining largely enigmatic to the public.
Lewis has alluded to the idea that their demanding schedules played a part in their split, once remarking: "It may be slightly different in that we are travelling as much as we are, and you are just away for crazy amounts of time. So that's probably an additional weight that makes it really, really tough to hold down a good relationship, and if things aren't quite perfect."
Veronica Valle, a glamour model, then came forward claiming she had a short-lived fling with Lewis mere months following his parting ways with Nicole, insinuating that the Formula 1 star developed an infatuation with the idea of threesomes after his relationship ended with the Pussycat Doll singer.
At the time, Veronica divulged that Lewis confided in her about his split from Nicole, suggesting it was down to marriage pressures. She told The Sun: "He wasn't ready. I think she thought he was going to propose. He didn't and she got mad."
Beyond his past romantic tie-ins with Nicole and Veronica, Lewis has reportedly been spotted with a bevy of other beauties, including high-profile personalities like Rita Ora and Rihanna.
Back in 2015, he shared insights about his relationship with Rihanna during an E! Online chat: "You know, I've known Ri for a long time. We've been friends for a while. We get to hang out every now and again."
