Despite knowing each other for years, it's been reported it was Kate Hudson's New Year's Eve party in Aspen in 2025 that saw the romantic spark.

A source told Hello!: "Kim and Lewis got people talking at Kate Hudson's New Year's Eve Party in Aspen last year.

"Lewis was there with three of his friends and some of his team members, but they still managed to have an intimate chat together and there appeared to be chemistry between them inside the bash.

"However, they were careful not to be pictured together and left separately at the time, it seemed as though they were both trying to play it cool as it's clearly still early days for them both."
