Jennifer Lopez and Drake dating news have been hitting the headlines since they were seen together early in December. Drake's on-and-off girlfriend Rihanna seems unhappy about it as she unfollowed Lopez on Instagram.
Rihanna's gesture reportedly explains her jealousy over Lopez and Drake, who sparked dating rumors after they were seen together in several instances. Many people believe that the "Booty" singer went against the girl code because the latter seems having a secret romance with the rapper.
"Jen and Drake have tried to keep their romance under wraps by suggesting they are just working together, a source told The Sun. "The truth is they are an item. They have been seeing each other for a number of weeks and her friends are saying she is already smitten."
Drake was seen attending Lopez's Las Vegas concerts several times in December. Another source told E! News that they had an intimate dinner at Delilah restaurant in West Hollywood and were seen leaving the famous celebrity spot together. Despite the sightings, neither Lopez nor Drake has addressed the dating rumors.
The insider told the publication that the age gap between Lopez and the "Hotline Bling" rapper is not an issue for them. The source added that what matters is that they are happy, and they are enjoying each other's company.
Reports say that Rihanna is hurt with the reports that Lopez and Drake are dating because it is like "The Back-up Plan" actress stabbed the former at her back. It reportedly makes her unhappy to think that she and Drake were still together in the recent months, and now he is with Lopez.
Lopez ended her four-year romance with her backup dancer Casper Smart earlier in 2016. Drake and Rihanna split in October.
Rumors that Lopez and Drake are dating have escalated more after the former shared a photo on her Instagram. She wrote that Drake came over to watch her concert.
Look who rolled up to my show tonight to say hi!! @champagnepapi #lovehim #jlovegas #ALLIHAVE

Early in 2016, Rihanna gave Lopez a pair of beautiful blue boots that she designed with Manolo Blahnik. On the note attached to the gift, she called Lopez the "baddest" and wrote that the latter would wear them better than her. The "On the Floor" singer also expressed her high regards on Rihanna, after she admitted that she is a big fan of the latter.
Lopez and Drake have kept mum on the dating issues. Check out the latest updates on the rumored couple here:
