Drake and Serena Williams—two big names who’ve been linked in various ways over the years.

Let’s break down their history, from dating rumors to Super Bowl surprises.

Were They Actually Dating?

Back in 2011, Drake was often seen at Serena Williams’ tennis matches, cheering her on from the stands. He even tweeted at her, saying, “@SerenaWilliams I cannot wait to put it on you and make you sweat……. during our match this weekend.” This sparked rumors that the rapper and the tennis star were more than just friends.

In 2015, the rumors heated up again when they were spotted getting cozy at a Cincinnati restaurant after one of Serena’s matches. Photos surfaced of them kissing, but neither confirmed the relationship publicly.

Drake’s Lyrics—Petty or Personal?

Drake is known for weaving personal experiences into his music, and fans believe Serena has been a subject in his songs. In “Worst Behavior,” he raps, “I’m with my whole set, tennis matches at the crib / I swear I could beat Serena when she playing with her left.” Many took this as a nod to their rumored relationship.

Later, in “Nothings Into Somethings,” Drake talks about an ex moving on without giving closure. Given that Serena married Alexis Ohanian in 2017, fans speculated that the song was about her.

Serena Moves On, Drake Stays in His Feelings

Serena found happiness with Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, tying the knot in 2017 and building a family together. Drake, on the other hand, continued to drop tracks hinting at past relationships and lost loves, keeping fans guessing about the subjects of his lyrics.

That Super Bowl Moment

Fast forward to February 9, 2025, during the Super Bowl LIX halftime show headlined by Kendrick Lamar. Serena made a surprise appearance, dancing during Lamar’s performance of “Not Like Us,” a track widely interpreted as a diss aimed at Drake. Given their history, this cameo didn’t go unnoticed.

The Bottom Line

While neither Drake nor Serena has ever fully opened up about their relationship, their interactions have provided plenty of material for fans and media alike. From courtside support to lyrical references and surprise performances, their story remains a topic of intrigue in pop culture.
