Jenner and Drake may be getting ‘romantic’

- By Martha Ross mross@bayareanew­sgroup.com

It apparently didn’t take long for Kylie Jenner to get over the heartbreak of her breakup from Travis Scott to start dating again.

But maybe sliding into an alleged new romance with another high-powered entertainm­ent figure was easy because the 22-year-old reality TV star and cosmetics mogul has known the guy for a long time — since she was a teenager.

Both Us Weekly and People are reporting that the new guy in Jenner’s life is none other than Drake, the 33-year-old rapper and serial dater of various women, famous and otherwise.

“Kylie and Drake’s friendship did take a romantic turn recently,” a source told Us Weekly. “At his Halloween party, they were affectiona­te and clearly there together. They’ve been seeing each other romantical­ly. He also showed up to Kendall (Jenner)’s birthday.”

Us Weekly also reported that the “Keeping Up With the Kardashian­s” star and the four-time Grammy winner were “flirty” with each other at his 33rd birthday party in Los Angeles in October.

“She spent the most time near Drake and his friends,” an “insider” told Us at the time. “Kylie was rapping to songs and dancing with her friends while she was next to Drake, but they weren’t dancing together. They seemed to have a connection though.”

A source told People that Jenner and Drake have been hanging out “romantical­ly” since Jenner in early October broke up with rapper Scott, the father of her 1-year-old daughter Stormi. Jenner and Scott dated for two years, and the couple referred to their split as “taking a break,” People said.

Jenner publicly confirmed the news of their breakup by tweeting, “Travis and I are on great terms.” She also said their “main focus” is Stormi. “Our friendship and our daughter is priority.”

Sources have insisted to both Us Weekly and People that Jenner and Drake remain “just friends.” But it’s also known that Drake is close to the Kardashian­Jenner family and runs in the same social circles. Indeed, the rapper performed at Kylie’s Sweet 16 birthday party in 2013. Moreover, he has made music with Scott and with Kim Kardashian’s husband, Kanye West.
