Drake And Serena Williams Caught Kissing, Fueling Rumors Of A Romance

Drake and Serena Williams seemed to prove rumors of a romance when they were photographed making out at a restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio last weekend.

Drake & Serena Kissing

Following Williams’ big win at the WTA tournament, Drake brought Williams to downtown Cincinnati restaurant Sotto. At a private table at the high-priced eatery, the tennis player was spotted sitting on the rapper’s lap. Pictures show that the two were kissing and being affectionate with one another throughout the night.

They “could not keep their hands and lips off of each other,” a source told TMZ, which obtained the pictures of the romantic night out.

Even though there are now pictures of the two kissing, neither Drake nor Williams has confirmed the relationship.

“Publicly she says they’re just friends but Drake has been by Serena’s side throughout the tournament and when they’ve been away from the public and relaxed, it’s been pretty obvious that they are together,” a source told the Daily Mail earlier this year.

“Even Serena’s team have been talking about it in the clubhouse to a few people they trust. She has been incredibly focused on her title bid,” the source added. “But if she’s had a quiet moment she’s spent it with Drake, even going to watch his Wireless set and having dinners in London.”

Williams previously dated Drake back in 2011, and was supposedly left heartbroken when their relationship ended and the rapper quickly moved on with model Dollicia Bryan. The relationship “is different this time,” insiders told TMZ, but others close to the athlete are concerned she’s going to get hurt once again.

“Her friends and family, unfortunately, aren’t as trusting of Drake and worry he will just break her heart,” a source told HollywoodLife.com. “She’s on the cusp of becoming the undisputed best female tennis player in the history of the game and they don’t want a broken heart at the hands of Drake derailing her.”

“Part of Serena is concerned that Drake is only after her to get another notch on his belt,” the source went on. “But she’s throwing caution into the wind.”
