When reminiscing about Drake’s storied love life, Rihanna is probably the first former partner that comes to mind
Rihanna
Rihanna is likely the first name on anyone’s mind when thinking about Drake’s past romances.
The couple were involved with each other for roughly a decade, ending in 2018, having met in 2005 on the set of her music video for Pon de Replay.
They were first spotted in a romantic setting when they locked lips at a bowling alley in 2009.
The night was referenced a year later inn Drake’s song Fireworks, where he describes a night ‘I’ll never forget.’
A number of on-and-off years later, in 2015 Drake confirmed that the two were a couple when he confessed he had ‘been in love with her since I was 22.’
The next year, their relationship arguably peaked from the outside looking in as they collaborated on the song Work.
However, in May 2018, Rihanna confirmed that the two had split, telling Vogue that they ‘don’t have a friendship now, but we’re not enemies either.’
SZA
SZA had to correct Drake’s 2021 track Mr Right Now to say the pair dated in 2009
Drake revealed that he and SZA had once been together in the lyrics to his 2021 song Mr Right Now.
Those words were: ‘Yeah, said she wanna f*** to some SZA, wait.
‘Cause I used to date SZA back in ’08.’
But the R&B singer corrected the timeline.
‘So It was actually 2009 lol,’ she tweeted, suggesting that Drake was just trying to rhyme with ‘wait.’
Either way, Drake and SZA were involved in and around the early days of his on-off romance with Rihanna.
In 2022, SZA joked in an interview with Audacy that Drake reminded her of Regina George in Mean Girls, but clarified that there were no issues between the two, saying ‘I think really highly of him.’
Tyra Banks
Drake and Tyra Banks went on a date in 2012, but nothing more according to the rapper
In 2012, Drake and supermodel Tyra Banks enjoyed a trip to Disneyland together.
The rapper told Ellen Degeneres in 2013: ‘I went on a date with her one time, yeah.
‘We went to Disneyland in disguise, actually, which was fun. I don’t know if it was a date. It was a get-together. We’re close as well.’
The two remained good friends, and the former ANTM host appeared in Drake’s Child’s Play music video in 2016.
Jennifer Lopez
The Hustlers star enjoyed a fleeting romance with Drake, but things were never too serious
Drake and Jennifer Lopez worked on a collaboration in December 2016, and this is where rumors of their romance began.
They even celebrated New Year’s Eve together; the rapper gave the Made in Manhattan star a $100,000 Tiffany necklace.
But just two months later, the relationship had come to an end, with a source at the time saying it had never become too serious.
Hailey Bieber

Drake and Hailey Bieber, then Hailey Baldwin, were seen ‘getting cosy’ at his star-studded Memorial Day party in May 2016.
A few days later, they were spotted out partying together, at Los Angeles’ The Nice Guy.
However, the romance never blossomed, as the model ended up falling for Justin Bieber, who she married in 2018.
