Tennis superstar Serena Williams‘ romantic ties to Young Money’s Drake may have officially faded away by now being linked to another male celebrity.
According to reports, Williams has a romance brewing with social media platform Reddit’s co-founder Alexis Ohanian.
“They met at a lunch,” a source reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. “It’s new.” Although Williams, 34, was recently linked to Drake, a second source says it was simply a “flirty friendship.” Now, the tennis pro is making love part of her routine, bringing her new guy, 32, to her workout at the Los Angeles School of Gymnastics on Saturday, Oct. 24. Says an onlooker, “He called her babe and they held hands.” (Us Weekly)
Williams dismissed Drake engagement rumors earlier this month.
Earlier this week, reports surfaced alleging the rumoured couple had taken its relationship to the next level and gotten engaged, but Serena’s spokesperson has denied they are even romantically involved. “Serena Williams and Drake are not engaged,” the rep tells GossipCop.com. “They are simply longtime friends.” (Star Magazine)
Drizzy’s representative shut down the engagement buzz a few weeks ago.
There was no “I do” … there was no bended knee … there was no proposal — because Drake and Serena Williams are NOT engaged to be married … this according to a rep for the rapper. The Internet was buzzing this morning with rumors that Drake had popped the question to the tennis star and she accepted … but it just ain’t true. Drake’s rep tells us, “The rumor is completely untrue.” (TMZ)
A screenshot of Williams playfully commenting on a picture Drizzy posted up last month recently emerged.
