In February 2020 there were reports that Drake was in a romantic relationship with a Dutch Moroccan Victoria’s Secret model named Imaan Hammam. The star was seen arm in arm with the supermodel, who is an Amsterdam native, during New York’s Fashion Week that February. On Wednesday, 5th of the same month, he was sighted leaving the model’s apartment in New York City carrying two bags not long after Imaan had left her home alone. This stirred up relationship rumors

The following Friday, Imaan launched her capsule collection named Imaan x Frame with the luxury lifestyle apparel brand Frame, and at the launch dinner party, Drake was present, sitting with Imaan. The duo was beyond excited to be pictured together as Drake held the model’s waist lovingly while giving his best smiles for photos.

While the young lady and her big brother are working in the modelling industry, her twin is currently trying to build a career in the music industry.

Also in the same year, she shared a photo of herself and Drake during his 2016 Summer Sixteen tour with Future.

However, Bella was not romantically connected to Drake, who is 13 years her senior, until 2018 when she posted a picture of them getting cozy backstage at Drake’s concert at Madison Square Garden and captioned it, “No place I’d rather be,” adding a blue heart emoji.

Drake and Rihanna were first said to be a pair in 2009. Even though Drake was clear about what he felt for Rihanna, she never appeared to be on the same page with him. In the years that followed, the two left fans confused as to the nature of their relationship. They would be spotted flirting with one another, Drake would confess his love her and rumors will start swirling that they were romantically involved, but Riri would promptly shut it down by saying that they were nothing but friends. They would be caught up being flirtatious once again and the cycle kept ongoing.

Although Rihanna has never agreed to being in a relationship with Drake, a source told E! News in 2016 that the stars were dating at the time. That was probably when they reportedly got matching tattoos. Their relationship, however, was short-lived as the female singer went back to acting single a few months later. Whatever the case, the rapper has pledged to always love and support her.
