Who Is Drake Dating? His Romantic History Is Pretty Wild

Drake is one of the best-selling rappers of all time, and his personal life seems to be just as successful as his professional one. The “Tootsie Slide” artist has a lengthy dating history, with women seeming to flock to Drizzy like mad. However, who is Drake dating now? Does he have a girlfriend? What’s going on in his love life? Inquiring minds would love to know.

Who is Drake currently dating?

While there’s been no confirmation of this, Radar Online reports that Drake has been in a relationship with an unnamed woman since at least October 2021. Not much is known about her, other than that she’s supposedly Canadian but currently lives in Miami. Beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess.

The outlet also claimed that his current love interest sent him a Palestinian-Canadian dance group to serenade him at his birthday party late last year. What an unconventional but romantic gesture. Whether or not he’ll ever take their romantic relationship public remains to be seen, but maybe keeping things private is the way to go.

Who has the rapper been linked to in the past?

  1. Cecilia Rose Cecilia Rose, a 23-year-old OnlyFans and TikTok star, was linked to Drake after surveillance footage was leaked online in August 2022 showing them shopping together at a Balenciaga store. Rumors say that Rose, who starred in the rapper’s “Wait For You” video in early 2022, was allowed to pick anything she wanted from the store for him to buy. However, they haven’t been seen together since. Could this be the mystery woman he’s supposedly been seeing since last year, or is she just a sneaky link?
  2. Chantel Everett Drake was said to be dating the “90 Day Fiance” star in August 2022 after she broke up with Petro Jimeno, her husband of six years. “Drake reached out to see how she was doing and where her head was at, and she responded,” an insider told Media Take Out. “They’ve been DMing each other back and forth and are planning to meet up soon.”
  3. Johanna Leia Sources claim that Drake and Johanna Leia were dating for several months in 2021. However, they broke up just before he met the current woman in his life. Leia is the mother of high school basketballs tar Amari Bailey, and while it’s unclear how they met, they seemed pretty loved up while they were together. However, they decided to end things in October 2021.
  4. Naomi Sharon Drake and singer Naomi Sharon were first linked when the rapper was recording “Certified Lover Boy.” In fact, Drake even got the blame for ruining her relationship with her now ex-partner Jamie Sun. However, Sharon never spoke out on the rumors and whatever was going on between them seemed to fizzle out pretty quickly.
  5. Kylie Jenner During the few months that Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott split up back in 2019, rumors began flying that she and Drake had “mutual feelings” for one another. However, she apparently came to her senses given Drake’s reputation as a bit of a ladies’ man. Because of this, things never went any further. Whether this happened at all is anyone’s guess.
  6. Malaika Terry Instagram model Malaika Terry was said to have caught Drake’s eye during the summer of 2018. In fact, there did seem to be something going on between them since they were seen walking around Toronto together. Some people claimed things were so intense between them, he’d even introduced her to his mom.
  7. Bella Hadid While her most famous relationship was with The Weeknd, in October 2017, rumors started flying that  Drake was dating Bella Hadid. According to a source, the pair “started out casual, but they’re definitely serious now.” Their rendezvous allegedly took place during one of Hadid and The Weeknd’s breaks, but they soon got back together again until splitting up for good in 2019.
  8. Jorja Smith In early 2017, Drake was said to be casually dating British R&B singer Jorja Smith. They posted photos together on Instagram and she even went on tour with him as his opening act. Sources say he got the number 11 tattooed on himself to honor Smith’s birthday, but when they broke up, he dedicated it to his son Adonis’ birthday instead. However passionate it may have been, whatever happened between them appeared to be very short-lived.
  9. Sophie Brussaux Brussaux is best known as the mother of Drake’s son, Adonis. They were first seen together in January 2017 in Amsterdam, and two months later, she announced her pregnancy. However, Drake kept the whole relationship under wraps. He didn’t even reveal that he was a father until 2018 on his album “Scorpio.”
  10. Jennifer Lopez At the end of 2016, Drake and J-Lo posted an extremely cozy photo together on Instagram. Fans immediately went haywire, but they shouldn’t have bothered. It was over within a couple of months.
  11. Rihanna People have been wondering about Drake and Rihanna’s relationship for years. Neither has ever confirmed that they dated. However, Drake did say in 2013 that they “had their moment.” While nothing long-term developed, they appeared to be good friends for many years after. Sadly, in 2018, Rihanna admitted that they “don’t have a friendship now.” What happened?!
  12. Serena Williams Drake and the tennis great sent rumors flying after he was seen at several of her tennis matches. Soon after, they were spotted kissing in public. That sounds pretty romantic to us! According to Complex, they dated for a couple of months but chose to keep the relationship private. However, things went south not long after and they went their separate ways.
  13. Nicki Minaj Both members of Lil Wayne’s Young Money label, Drake and Nicki Minaj have been close for years. Fans wanted them together since Drake rapped about wanting to marry her on his 2010 album “Take Care.” However, it’s unclear if anything ever actually happened. Minaj always insisted she saw Drake more like a brother than a lover, but sometimes their body language sent a different message.
  14. Keisha Chante She was Drake’s first girlfriend back in his “Degrassi” days. In fact, during his performance at OVO Fest in July 2022, he even brought her out on stage and revealed her to be the infamous “KeKe” from “In My Feelings.” He told the audience: “This next person coming to the stage, I used to get in my mom’s car and I used to drive all the way to the west for this one right here, you feel me? So I have to personally introduce her. This is my first girlfriend I ever had in my life. A real legend, somebody I love with all of my heart… Make some noise for Keisha Chante.” Aww, how cute!
