Drake & Rihanna Officially Dating: Spotted Kissing In Miami Club [Video]
Drake and Rihanna were spotted getting seriously close in a Miami club after it was reported that the twosome are now officially dating following Drake’s very public gush over Rihanna at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards.
Rihanna fan @papi.riri took to Instagram to post footage of Drake and Rihanna cozying up to each other in a video clip that’s alleged to have been taken in a club in Miami, Florida, on August 30, two days after the couple shared a kiss onstage at the VMAs.
“OMG! The way she grabs his face,” the Instagram user captioned the footage, which shows Rihanna affectionately grabbing and caressing Drake’s face before they whisper in each other’s ears and appear to share a kiss.
The Instagram user also shared further footage that appeared to be captured by a fan at the Miami club, where Drake can be seen sweetly hugging Rihanna from behind as they danced together.
After months of rumors claiming that they were dating, Drake and Rihanna now seem to have nothing to hide about their dating life after Entertainment Tonight confirmed that the on again, off again couple is back on and officially dating once again.
According to the site, Drake and Rihanna, who were first romantically linked way back in 2009, are now “fully dating” and are no longer hiding their romance away.
“No one really knows how long they have been ‘official,'” a source admitted to the site, but they confirmed that Drake and Rihanna are now “definitely a couple” amid the dating rumors.
“They just decided to let it become a thing instead of hiding it from everyone,” the source added, confirming Drake and Rihanna are “happy” and are now ready to be out in the open with their dating life.
The kissing video and dating confession come just days after Drake appeared to confirm that he and Rihanna are officially dating again. The rapper gushed over his rumored girlfriend while presenting her with the prestigious Vanguard award at the 2016 MTV VMAs.
“She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old,” Drake said of Rihanna, before presenting her with the Moonman statue. “She’s one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I’ve looked up to her, even though she’s younger than me,” Drake continued. “She’s a living, breathing legend in our industry.”
Drake and Rihanna first sparked dating rumors again back in May after People confirmed that Drake and his “Work” and “Take Care” duet partner had actually been “secretly dating for months.” At the time, they were not ready to go public and confirm to the world that they were dating and an official couple.
E! News also claimed that the two were back on and dating, but admitted that it was Rihanna who was reluctant to get serious and settle down.
“Rihanna loves Drake, but is still not ready to put a title on them,” an insider previously told the site, confirming that the two were dating but not serious. “Drake has expressed to Rihanna that he only wants to date her and only her, but she wants to take day by day this time around.”
The site’s source then went on to reveal that “Drake would make [Rihanna] his girlfriend in a second if he could,” and it looks like he may now have finally done so.
