Rihanna and Drake, who have faced dating rumors in recent months, are not in a relationship despite having a close connection with each other, according to Hollywood Life. The “Diamonds” singer and the Canadian rapper triggered dating speculation after they were spotted hanging out together following Rihanna’s release of her “Work” song that featured Drake.

“They both have an intense bond but they are not dating. Drake likes being around multiple ladies and loves to keep that life. Drake is not going to settle down with anyone anytime soon and that includes Rihanna,” a source told Hollywood Life.

It was reported recently that 28-year-old Rihanna and 29-year-old Drake are planning to have a baby.

“Rihanna really has the mommy urge, and Drake is completely on board with the idea,” a source had told Life & Style magazine. “They’ve talked about how cute their kids would be. They know they’ll be forever linked if they have a child, and they are OK with that.”

However, the report was debunked by Gossip Cop.

The two first dated in 2009 and have been in an on-and-off relationship ever since. They performed together at the Brit Awards in London in February and after their performance, the rumored couple was reportedly seen getting intimate at a London nightclub.
