Why Did Jennifer Lopez Break Up With Drake – Relationship Timeline Explained
Jennifer Lopez is a famous personality, known for being part of several well-known relationships, many of which did not end happily. One such was her short-lived romance with Aubrey Drake Graham aka Drake.
The ex-couple first sparked romance rumors back in late 2016 after the rapper was seen (twice!) at the latina singer’s Las Vegas show. Though they broke up after several months of are-they-or-are-they-not dating rumors. According to a source close to the rapper, this “was never very serious” to begin with.
Drake and Jennifer Lopez’s relationship quickly gained media attention, thanks to their enticing matching outfits, twerking together, a 17-year age difference, and some intense moments.
As we lament the loss of what could have been, we look back on Drake and the 53-year-old singer’s relationship history, which began as a musical collaboration and developed into “having fun” up until their alleged split.
Jennifer Lopez With Drake- How Did It Start?
Well, the initial or formal encounter embarked on in 2013 when Jennifer Lopez stunned viewers at the Grammy Awards.
Drake was totally astonished when Lopez showed up in her stunning off-the-shoulder black gown, looking fabulous. Rumors about that new celebrity couple on the hip-hop scene soon started to circulate, and their picture as evidence suggested that the couple had been spending a lot of time together.
Just two months after splitting from Rihanna, Drake seemed to confirm his relationship with Jennifer Lopez in December 2016. The Canadian rapper cuddled up to the On The Floor singer in an Instagram photo, which appeared to confirm that they were dating. However, their relationship ended after just two months.
In January 2017, a source told Us Weekly, “They’ve gotten very close fast,” adding that Drake had even met Lopez’s children.
The fling, however, ended abruptly. Lopez and Drake broke their relationship off in February, less than two months into it.
Did The Alleged Star-Couple Really Date?
According to Page Six, the answer is clearly “no.”
As per the news outlet’s sources, the brief romance that Drake and Jennifer Lopez deceived the public into believing, was not real. A source claimed that Lopez has never been someone who publicly displays her ‘boyfriend’, even if they have only been dating for a short period of time. The couple allegedly faked their relationship to promote a song they came up with together.
Drake is known for keeping his love life very private, so the fact that he would be so approachable during his brief fling with Lopez caught a lot of people off guard and made them wonder how true the relationship really was.
Their Alleged Breakup Explained!
The ‘former couple’ reportedly called it quits in February 2017.
According to E! Online, who reported the split, “J. Lo and Drake are still talking, so people should know they are not in any means angry or that some incident happened.” Their relationship was never really that serious to begin with.
“They love hanging out and making music together. She has great respect for him and his talent and he does for her as well.”
After all this was said and done, Jennifer Lopez wasted no time in breaking up with Drake, because just weeks after doing so, she was rumored to have become close to the ex-baseball player, Alex Rodriguez.
At the current moment, Jennifer Lopez is happily married to Ben Affleck and they are a settled married couple.
While Drake is still unmarried; he has dated a number of well-known faces, including Rihanna and Nicki Minaj. In addition, he is the biological father of Adonis Graham, who was conceived by Sophie Brussaux (a French artist and former adult performer).
