Kim Kardashian’s appearance at the Monaco Grand Prix turned messy fast and not because of anything on the track. Just minutes before the race kicked off, Kim standing out on the starting grid to support her boyfriend, Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton brushed off seasoned Sky Sports presenter Martin Brundle during his live pre-race walk. The snub, icy and unmistakable, went viral almost instantly, with fans calling Kim “classless” and slamming her for what they saw as pure arrogance. Martin Brundle’s grid walks are a staple for F1 fans. He weaves through celebrities and drivers, squeezing in quick chats before the engines roar. This time, he spotted Kim alongside her sister Khloe and their friend Simon Huck. He approached, mic in hand, did his usual friendly intro “Kim, Martin Brundle from Sky F1, how are you today?” and asked if she was enjoying the event. Instead of responding, Kim shot a short smile, gave a fleeting glance, and then just turned away. Silence. She leaned in to her securi...
For years, rumours have dogged Rinna and Hamlin’s marriage specifically the idea that Hamlin might be gay. The speculation seemed to take root after his early acting role as a gay character in the 1982 film Making Love. Despite his decades of heterosexual marriage and family life, the rumour followed them into tabloid columns, social media threads, and reality-TV discussions.
People are often quick to make assumptions in star-studded relationships. Hamlin’s comfort with fashion, charm, and Hollywood style combined with that one early role seemed to fuel endless online scepticism. But now, after almost three decades together, Rinna is confronting that speculation head-on.
In her newly released memoir You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It, Rinna writes with characteristic frankness about her marriage, family, and life in the spotlight including the long-standing rumours about Hamlin’s sexuality. Her message? Let’s finally lay this one to rest.
“Let’s just clear this up one last time, once and for all: Harry’s heterosexual,” she wrote. “He is not a gay man in any way, shape or form not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
A Marriage Weathering Decades in the Public Eye
Rinna, now 62, and Hamlin, 74, met in the early 1990s and married in 1997, building a life together that includes two daughters: Delilah Belle, 27, and Amelia, 24. Their union has survived gossip, reality TV drama, and the glare of Hollywood cameras.
In her book, Rinna doesn’t stop at denying rumours, she also celebrates her relationship and candidly talks about intimacy, aging, and the challenges that come with a long-term partnership in the public eye. Despite telling the world she and Hamlin don’t have sex as often as they once did, she makes a point of emphasizing that when they are intimate, “it’s as good as it’s ever been.”
That’s a line that feels deeply human not just titillating gossip because it reflects something real about staying connected to your partner years into marriage, beyond the Hollywood spotlight.
Rinna also shared that before publishing the memoir, she was nervous about how Hamlin would react to such personal revelations. But rather than bristle, he reportedly loved the book calling it brave, vulnerable, and true to their shared journey.
What People Are Saying
Unsurprisingly, reactions to Rinna’s revelations have ranged widely online and across social platforms.
Some fans are praising her candour describing the denial of the “gay rumours” as refreshing honesty in a world where few stars speak openly about their personal lives. “It feels mature and real when she says that even after all these years, they’re still a team,” wrote one commenter on a celebrity forum.
Others are focused on the humour and human side of her response, pointing out that she may finally have given everyone something definitive to talk about. One commenter quipped, “If gossip fuels Hollywood, at least she just changed the conversation.”
Of course, not all reactions are serious. Some social media threads are typical pop-culture commentary, memes, jokes, and sarcasm about celebrity privacy, and how long rumours can stick even when they don’t reflect reality. “It’s 2026 and we’re still talking about gossip from the ’80s,” joked one Reddit user.
Meanwhile, some critics argue that even addressing sexuality rumours fuels unnecessary discussions, advocating that private lives should remain private. “People care too much,” commented another fan forum member. “If they’re happy, that’s what matters.”
More Than a Headline
What’s compelling about Rinna’s statement isn’t just that she said her husband isn’t gay, it’s that she tied it back to their real life together: their decades-long marriage, their children, and their continued emotional and physical connection as they age together. It’s rare to see that kind of personal reflection from celebrities, and even rarer for it to be rooted in something relatable rather than sensational.
In embracing the normal even the intimate Rinna has given fans more than a denial; she’s offered a glimpse into what a long-term relationship can look like when both people choose honesty, humour, and partnership over rumours and gossip.
Whether people agree with her approach or not, one thing is clear: she’s tired of the whispers, and she wants the world to know the truth as she sees it. And after nearly 30 years, that feels like something worth talking about.
