During the Spanish Grand Prix last year, Lewis Hamilton had one thing to say about his next romantic adventure – “I need to find myself a Latina,” and further hinted, “Maybe when I come back… who knows?” But guess what? The #44 star might just have found his Latin love in his second homeland instead, after being spotted with his new rumored fling, Juliana Nalu at a Brazilian club called the ‘Taipei Party’ during New Year’s celebrations.

What started with chilly origins in the Antarctic made its way to Lewis Hamilton’s doorstep after a fan recently spotted Nalu’s selfie in the same elevator as Hamilton and Roscoe back in 2020. Fast-forward to 2024, and the pair were now partying it away in the hot and windy Brazil!

In the video shared by F1gossipofficial on Instagram, Lewis Hamilton can be spotted walking behind a group of friends with Juliana Nalu leading the way. Right in theme with the other guests, Hamilton rocked a white shirt with white shorts and a bucket hat to match. At the end of the clip, he could also be spotted getting into a car with Nalu while his rumored childhood friend and the others made their way into a different vehicle.

Only a few days ago, the pair’s Brazilian adventures came to light after Hamilton and Nalu were seen in Trancoso. While the Mercedes driver has had his fair share of intimate relationships with the likes of Kendall Jenner and Nichole Scherzinger, the upward trend in his public appearances with the Brazilian sensation could prove the LH Army’s suspicions to be true after all.

While Lewis Hamilton is not one to bring his love light into the public eye as of late when the entire world is watching, something or the other will eventually leak through the cracks. The LH Army themselves were split between believing Nalu was indeed Hamilton’s new love interest and believing they were nothing more than celebrities hanging out in their home nation.

Even Juliana Nalu herself has avoided any Hamilton-related questions to the best of her ability, so is there truly nothing more? While it’s fairly evident that the two are increasingly spending quality time together, is Lewis Hamilton just making Brazilian friends or has his Spanish Grand Prix wish come true?

It’s safe to say the LH Army has been having a field day ever since the clock struck twelve and the Hamilton-Nalu ship took off into the distance. But do you know who Juliana Nalu really is?

There’s more than meets the eye with Juliana Nalu!

Juliana Nalu is a 25-year-old Brazilian model with previous romantic ties to the Hip Hop icon Kanye West and is also rumored to be involved with the electronic producer Diplo. She has garnered an extensive following on Instagram with over 940k followers after working for sensational brands such as Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS, Alo, and most recently, Pucci. She is represented by Elite Model World who have also represented modeling icons such as Naomi Campbell and Irina Shayk.

Growing up with her brother, Douglas, in Rio De Janeiro, her single mother raised Nalu in the favela Complexo do Chapadao, which was located a little north of the city. It’s no surprise that much of her childhood was plagued with some of Brazil’s deadliest violence, prompting her to move to the United States in search of better opportunities. While Nalu may have gotten her big break, she continues to help Afro-Brazilians break into the fashion and modeling industry.

Nalu is also a big advocate of social initiatives and is a big part of the Favela Seeds program. The Brazilian organization considers itself “an educational and cultural incentive center and provider of basic needs such as food, psychological support and clothing”. It’s safe to say that when her interests are concerned, they clearly line up with Lewis Hamilton’s off-track passions to the “T’.
