From what it looks like, Drake and Rihanna's long simmering, on-again/off-again romance is now fully on. According to a source who spoke to E! News, "He still loves her and never stopped. Rihanna is the one that's been not wanting to settle down in the past." Apparently, whatever it was that was preventing the ANTI singer from entertaining Drake's advances must have faded away because the source claims the pair "are having fun spending time with each other. Their music together got them close again."
This is certainly a welcome bit of news for the mass of fans who have been shipping Drizzy and Riri for years. The signs have been there all along that their friendship was more than just that. Who could forget the sensual, uber-sexualized "Work" music video? Or the way that Drake autographed Rihanna on the cover of a magazine with a heart? Or how entranced he was when he joined her onstage during her recent gig in Manchester? "Shout out to the most beautiful, talented woman I've ever seen," Drake told the crowd. "She goes by the name of Rihanna...I'm gettin' my heart broken."
TMZ reported Saturday that the pair left a London nightclub at the same time together last night, and spent the night in one another's company for the fourth time in a row. Our hopes have never been higher.
