CALABASAS, 09 February 2026 – Kim Kardashian continues to dominate both the boardroom and the front pages this week, following a high-profile appearance at the Super Bowl and new developments in her multi-billion-dollar business empire. From a rumoured new romance to a major shift in her screen career, the 45-year-old mogul remains at the centre of global pop culture.
Super Bowl Appearance Fuels Romance Rumours
The biggest talking point of the weekend was Kardashian’s appearance at the Super Bowl on Sunday, 08 February 2026. Spotted side-by-side with F1 superstar Lewis Hamilton, the pair appeared to confirm long-standing dating rumours that have circulated for months. This follows reports of a romantic weekend spent together in the United Kingdom and a recent sighting at a Paris hotel. While neither has officially commented, public interest in the “Kim-Lewis” pairing has reached a fever pitch, with fans already calling for a SKIMS x F1 collaboration.
Business Milestones: SKIMS and SKKY Partners
Kardashian’s business portfolio has reached new heights in early 2026. Her shapewear and lifestyle brand, SKIMS, is now valued at approximately US$5 billion following a successful funding round in late 2025. The brand recently expanded its reach through a strategic partnership with Nike, further cementing its status as a global apparel powerhouse.
Beyond retail, Kardashian is making significant moves in the financial sector. Last week, she officially launched Skky Partners, a private equity firm co-founded with Jay Sammons (formerly of Carlyle Group). The firm focuses on investments in consumer media, hospitality, and luxury sectors, marking Kardashian’s transition into a serious tech and equity investor.
Career Evolution: From Reality TV to Comedy
While The Kardashians remains a staple on Hulu, Kim is diversifying her acting portfolio. She was recently spotted on set rocking a new blonde wig for an upcoming comedy film for Netflix. This move into scripted comedy follows her well-received performance in All’s Fair and her recent cover story for Complex Magazine (February 2026 issue), where she showcased a series of avant-garde styles, including a viral “towel-as-a-top” look.
