Tennis star rekindles old flame
LONDON: They previously dated briefly way back in 2011. But it appears Serena Williams and Drake have rekindled their romance, after the two were spotted making out at a trendy Cincinnati restaurant on Sunday, just hours after she won the Women’s Tennis Association tournament.
The 33-year-old tennis superstar sat on the 28-yearold rapper’s lap in a private room of the high-priced Sotto eatery downtown in the city.
In one of the fan-taken snapshots, Serena appears to be sitting very closely to Drake as she whispers in his ear.
An onlooker told TMZ entertainment website the pair “could not keep their hands and lips off each other”.
Serena showed off her toned arms and ample cleavage in a white tank top with exposed colour-co-ordinated straps. She wore her voluminous hair in a ponytail with her neck and shoulders clearly defined.
Drake was dressed comfortably in a grey hoodie and black jacket with dark coloured jeans.
But although the chemistry between the two was obvious, friends are warning Serena to approach the situation with caution to avoid getting hurt by the rapper again, according to the news site. But sources tell TMZ their relationship “is different this time” following their split in 2012.
The Canadian hitmaker has often been pictured supporting Williams – who dated Oscar-winning rapper and Drake frenemy Common – at many of her tennis matches during their many months of dating speculation.
Back in 2011, the rumoured on-again couple were spotted kissing in the clubhouse after her victory against Victoria Azarenka in the Wimbledon quarter-finals in July.
Days later, Serena once again embraced him after her media conference following her win, and was heard joking with him about being grilled on their relationship.
