Drake has reportedly been trying to win over Jennifer Lopez ever since news broke about her split from Ben Affleck, but it looks like she’s keeping him at arm’s length. According to RadarOnline.com, the rapper has been playing the “long game,” acting as a supportive friend while secretly hoping things would turn romantic.
An insider revealed that Drake, 38, and J.Lo, 55, have been texting for nearly a year, with conversations occasionally getting flirty. He’s even sent her flowers and gifts, but so far, things haven’t gone beyond digital flirting. The source claims Drake is growing frustrated and worried he might be stuck in the friend zone, but he hasn’t given up—mainly because J.Lo is one of his long-time celebrity crushes.
The pair first sparked romance rumors back in 2016 when they posted cozy photos together on Instagram. Despite Drake’s reputation as a ladies’ man, Lopez appears to be handling things on her own terms this time around. The insider said she’s well aware of his track record and is simply having fun, enjoying the attention without getting too serious.
For now, it seems like Drake is doing all the chasing, while J.Lo holds all the cards.
