Lewis Hamilton and Kim Kardashian were among the many celebrities to make an appearance at the Super Bowl over the weekend.
The Formula 1 driver and reality TV star were spotted sitting next to each other during the match yesterday (8 February), which saw the Seattle Seahawks romp to victory against the New England Patriots.
But while the teams were battling it out for the title on the field at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, a lip reader has shared their thoughts on a verbal exchange in the stands between Kardashian, 45, and Hamilton, 41.
Rumors that the pair are dating have reached fever pitch after a clip of them together at the game went viral.

The seven-time World Champion and The Kardashians star appeared to be attending the biggest sport event in the US together, in what is being described as their first public outing together.
While rumors that they're dating have not been confirmed by either, lip reader Nicola Hickling, who founded LipReader, has shared a possible interpretation of what the pair were saying to each other during the match.
And if the reading is accurate, then things could be serious.
Nicola told the Daily Mail that at one point, Hamilton appeared to tell Kardashian: "No I don't take just any girl to my mom, I mean you're gonna meet someday, she is very excited to see you."
But how did Kardashian respond to this?
Well, Nicola observed that she seemed to 'shuffle uncomfortably in her seat', before 'replying with a simple okay'.
Going into more depth about the interaction, Nicola said: "Firstly, there is the pose that registers undivided attention between them, which is a form of non-verbal stroke when you're on a date.
"Kim actually leans back to take in Lewis visually as he speaks and this flattering 'stroke' produces a 'purr' response from him which is visible in the way his facial features soften and he talks through a smile of pleasure."
The appearance has naturally added even more weight to rumours that the pair are dating.
Since her divorce from rapper Kanye 'Ye' West, Kardashian has previously been in a public relationship with Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson.
The pair went public with their relationship in November 2021, before separating in 2022.
Since then, Kardashian was rumored to be dating Odell Beckham Jr, an NFL wide receiver, but they reportedly separated after being together for six months.
Hamilton had previously been in an on-off relationship with Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls between 2007 and 2015, and has reportedly been out with Rita Ora since then.
UNILAD has approached representatives of Kardashian and Hamilton for comment.
