Serena Williams and Drake dating? (new Instagram pics, photos gallery)

South African publication Times Now reported this week that recently crowned Wimbledon champion Serena Williams and hip-hop star Drake were dating.

“Publicly she says they’re just friends but Drake has been by Serena’s side throughout the tournament and when they’ve been away from the public and relaxed, it’s been pretty obvious that they are together,” a source told Times Now.

Drake was present at Wimbledon but Williams denied the two were an item last week.

“It’s about luck,” she said of Drake’s presence. “You got to keep your luck around. We’ve been friends for like so many years, just like family.”
