Drake is rarely linked to any fellow celebrities, besides a brief fling with Rihanna, so it was surprising when photos were published of the rapper kissing tennis champion Serena Williams.

The rumored new couple was spotted eating dinner together at an upscale restaurant in Cincinnati on Sunday night, where they couldn’t keep their hands off of each other and kissed in between bites of food.

TMZ obtained the photos, which show the two out celebrating Williams’ WTA tournament win from earlier that day.

They weren’t alone though, as they were joined by six friends. They rented a private room in the restaurant for privacy but didn’t exactly get it.

Rumors that have swirled about a possible romantic connection between Drake and Williams have now been confirmed. E! Online reports they stem back to 2012, when rumors that the rapper was feuding with Common over her surfaced.

When he was spotted cheering her on at Wimbledon last month, the rumors were revived.
