After hard launching their relationship on Instagram a few weeks back, Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton took a dip in a sea of love.

On April 20, the SKIMS founder and F1 driver were spotted at a beach in Malibu, kissing and hugging as they swam in the ocean. Since they knew there were some photogs around, some are questioning whether their PDA was real or something they just played up for cameras. Here’s what an expert just said about that.

Darren Stanton is a body language expert. He previously worked as a police officer and used his expertise to uncover the truth when interviewing hundreds of suspects. He later moved into media and has been dubbed the “Human Lie Detector.” Stanton now offers his expert analysis on high-profile public figures.

Speaking on behalf of OLBG, Stanton told Showbiz Cheat Sheet, “They knew they were being papped but this shows that they aren’t afraid to show public displays of affection. It’s not fake. It’s a genuine, deep relationship. They are very close and intimate.”

The expert added, “It looks like Lewis’s full attention is on her at the moment. Facially, their expressions are genuine enjoyment. They appear to have trust and they are mirroring each other physically. We can often spot if celebrity relationships are forced, but these two appear genuinely happy. 

“It’s very balanced in their affection for one another; it’s symmetrical. It doesn’t look like it’s one-sided in any way. Sometimes, one person may show they are into someone more than the other, but with Lewis and Kim, it’s reciprocal. They appear to be on the same level and in the same place with their emotions towards one another.”

Showbiz Cheat Sheet acknowledges conditions and cultures can impact body language and is sensitive to all backgrounds.
