Drake and Jennifer Lopez seemed to get together back in December. Sources insisted it wasn’t too serious, that they were working together on her album and that they were just having fun. But over the next month, they seemed to get increasingly serious about each other. She changed her New Year’s Eve plans to spend time with him. They became Instagram-official. Sources claimed he was spending time with her kids. But as quickly as everything happened, things started deteriorating. It’s been a few weeks since we really heard anything about them spending time together. And you know when the sudden “drop off” happened? Right around the time that Nicki Minaj confirmed her split from Meek Mill. Um, I told you guys. I even mentioned Drake in that Minaj-Mill post! Drake totally dumped Jennifer Lopez so he could take another shot with Nicki. So far, no one is saying that though. Right now, it’s just “J.Lo and Drake are taking a breather.”
Jennifer Lopez and Drake are taking a breather. The two had been dating over the past couple of months and were last seen together in mid-January. This past weekend, J.Lo posted a cryptic message on Instagram, a popular quote usually attributed to heartache and breakups: “Timing is everything. If it’s meant to happen, it will, and for the right reasons.”
A source told E! News exclusively that Lopez and Drake “have taken some time apart, not because they don’t want to be with each other, just because their schedules started getting insane. Jlo and Drake are still talking, so people should know they are not in any means angry or that some incident happened. It mainly had to do with timing,” the source added. “They have just cooled things off a bit and it’s not as fast as it was in the beginning. They very well may go to dinner tomorrow or in a month. They are in each others’ lives, just doing their own thing now.”
Us Weekly confirmed E!’s story, with an insider saying that their relationship “died down a bit” and they’re “done for now.” People Mag’s version of events is that Drake and J.Lo weren’t “serious” to begin with, so it’s no big loss. So, how long before Drake and Nicki confirm something? Suddenly, I have an image of Rihanna sending Jennifer Lopez a bouquet of black roses with a note that says “I tried to tell you, chica.”
Cough.

I thought this was a fake relationship anyway. I guess they figured out everyone was laughing and decided to void their contract?
Even fake I would not want people thinking I was dumped for Nicki Minaj.
Nicki Minaj is a BOSS.
Wait, no one actually believes they were a real couple, right?
Right! The whole relationship screamed “we’re only doing this for attention” since nobody cared, it’s over.
Right, and suddenly they are done since nobody cared about their PR stunt
LOL, I third that. No one cared. The end.
I dont know. Didnt they spend the holidays together? Iirc one of them cancelled an event for that. And it is Drake and Jlo, joint chairpersons of Twee Dumbasses United. Its exactly both their MOs to go from 0 to 60 within three minutes of the first flirty text.
FAKE RELATIONSHIP!
I honestly thought riri was the one who broke his heart,now i’m not so sure. Is he the next Justin Bieber or something? JLo is a lost cause but i’m just upset that riri doesn’t seem to be gravitating to any guy who really wants to love her.
I want Rih to find her happiness.
If that happiness is with her girls and banging a series of hot famous dudes then that’s ok. They just better treat her right.
Sigh. It’s too bad she doesn’t like pasty non famous white girls.
Glad this thirsty old cougar got burnt. J Lo’s schtick is so tired. The “it’s all about timing” Instagram post made me wanna puke.
She should have never went after Drake knowing he was RiRi’s boy friend. She broke the friend code. Severed her right to get dumped, Imo. Now she looks like an old fool, jmo.
There really is no friend-code that is actually adhered to regarding dating a friend’s ex. You know that right?
In my dating days, my group of friends often met our most serious relationships via dating a friend. My husband’s best friend married his ex. We are all very close and it has never been uncomfortable for any of us.
This happens quite often and as long as there was no cheating going on, nobody really cares.
@sienna, speak for yourself and your own group of friends, because most people I know would not date a friend’s ex. It’s kinda gross, and quite frankly, the situation you’ve described makes my skin crawl.
I’m with @B n A fn and @anon33
It’s a MAJOR felony level violation of the friend code to date a friend’s ex. Possible exemptions to the rules exist if the friend gives the blessing to date the ex, but even that area can be murky so it’s best to avoid altogether.
This is just my take, but I am dating/living with the man who was the best man at my wedding to my ex. We’re all still cool. Life happens. *Shrug*
I can’t stand drake. He plays into the “nice ” guy trope too much when he really isn’t. From interviews he comes across super judgey toward women who don’t act “right”. Behind closed doors , I’m sure he is insufferable.
Yes. I also can’t stand Nicki Minaj. Ugh
Yeah. His lyrics are suspect.
I want to see more coverage on his stripper coterie.
See also: every song in which he opines that his girl should be waiting for him at home, not out in public having fun like a hoor, while he enjoys himself at the club.
Yep yep! Say it again.
This obviously fake relationship and photos of her with a mini shirt pulled up so her boobs are hanging out show her desperation to be perceived of as hot. Why does she need to resort to these ridiculous antics?
Is Jennifer gay? Never thought I’d ask, but her “relationships” are ludicrous.
I really don’t think this has anything to do with Nikki. Drake has been friends with her for a long time.
Can we please stop with the whole Drake is in love with Riri or Nicki, please? Drake is always hooking up with strippers, porn stars, groupies, and any women who is willing to be his hit it and quit it. This man is not ready or wants to be in any kind of serious relationship and also his best friend went to jail for sex trafficking, that should tell you how Drake really feels toward women. When his friend got out of jail Drake was acting like he came home from war, just an FYI for anyone who tires to defend or say just because his friend did that does not mean he is the same.
Okay, ladies, I think a male perspective may be helpful here. Let’s be clear: Rihanna is the sexiest, most traffic-stopping woman on the planet. JLo is attractive, Nikki is sexy (in a nasty, can’t bring home to Momma kind of way), no doubt, but Rihanna is THE catch if you are Drake. There is no question in my mind that she is the one that “got away” from him. Even if he can have every stripper in the world, and I’m sure he does, he thinks about Rihanna in his quiet moments. Like every other man in the world, were they honest and free to admit it.
Honey, we get male perspective all the time.
None of that madonna/whore don’t bring home to momma crap please.
@Detritus thank you.
@MalePerspective are you serious, so Nicki is good enough to hang with but you can’t bring home to mama, please. Drake and you I assume want to use women and then turn around and call them out for the same behavior you do day in and out.
Appreciate your honesty. Also agree with you. Mom would not be happy to see you bring Nikki home. Know what you mean, just the different type looks. I think that’s what you mean, I don’t think you’re judging them.
I don’t care how hot jlo is or how much money she has; her life makes me cringe.
What’s wrong with growing up and older, she has independence but still chases men 20 yrs younger than her. Ugh can’t believe I once liked this woman.
Ageist much?!
How did she chase Drake, he went to HER Vegas show, he pursued HER, HE was the one posting pics at her Vegas show, fangirling over HER she has only been with one younger man and that was Casper, funny how know one says fuck all about Marc being married and divorced to a woman who was younger than Casper
Jlo is a grown woman she can do as she pleases, it seems there is always a different set of rules when it comes to Jlo
This^^Kae. At least Jen wasnt dumb enough to marry casper
Or it just flamed out like a lot of quickie relationships do. It’s kind of hard to take Drake in a relationship seriously because he’s so EXTRA all the time as it is.
Drake doesn’t date anyone for more than a few months.
I wouldn’t be surprised if nicki is one of the few women who have seen through drakes nice guy routine and that is why he pursues her. If she ever gave in he would drop her within minutes.
Drake got to mess with a childhood crush and JLo got a lot of PR almost as much she got during her Diddy era. She thought she was getting a hit song out of it since the song never came out its time to abandon ship.
Now it’s his team vs hers, hers says they grew apart his saying they weren’t that serious. *eye roll* they both need to leave the fake relationship thing to the z-listers.
Jesus he really gets around.
Why though?! He’s not attractive at all!!
He’s nasty and she should be embarrassed she used a stunt queen move like that with that loser.
At this point Nicki is too good for Drake. She has a better track record than most girls in the industry. Only dated two guys and for the record she has met Drake mom many times and he has stated that many times how his mom really love Nicki.
I don’t believe Nicki will ever want Drake. She will always dangle a carrot in front of him so she can have hit collabs and someone to shower attention on her, but that’s it. The next guy will be someone she can be in a “power couple” with like Jay and Bey. She tried to get Meek to that level, but he blew it,
Yep!
