On Drake’s 34th birthday, we’re taking a trip down memory lane and looking back at all the women he’s dated and been romantically linked to over the years.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Drake<\/strong><\/a> hasn’t settled down just yet, but he’s spent some time with a number of familiar faces over the years. Although Drizzy has never been in a very serious public relationship, he’s dated and been linked to women like\u00a0Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Bella Hadid<\/strong> and more throughout his time in the spotlight. Here’s a look back at Drake’s love life:<\/p>\n

It’s no secret that Drake will always have a very special spot in his heart for Rihanna. The two have been longtime friends and collaborated together a number of times over the years. However, in 2016, the friendship finally turned romantic. Although they tried to keep it low-key, there was no denying that these two were an item. At the Video Music Awards that August, Drake even professed his love for Rihanna while presenting her with the Video Vanguard Award!<\/p>\n

RiRi was visibly embarrassed by the public display of affection, and the relationship only lasted a few more weeks after that. Unfortunately, though, Drake and Rihanna aren’t really in each other’s lives anymore. “We don’t have a friendship now,” Rihanna told\u00a0Vogue<\/em> in 2018. “But we’re not enemies either. It is what it is.”<\/p>\n

When Drake first started making it big in the music industry, he was not shy about his love for Nicki. For years, there were rumors that Drake and Nicki had been romantically involved, which were intensified when she gave him a lap dance in her 2014 video for “Anaconda.” However, both stars have continuously denied that they’ve ever hooked up. The two had a falling out when Nicki was with\u00a0Meek Mill<\/strong>, but have since mended their friendship — and have even said that they want to get their sons together for a playdate<\/a>!<\/p>\n
