The 29-year-old 'One Dance' hitmaker has allegedly rekindled his romance with the 28-year-old - whom he had allegedly been dating in 2009 - and has revealed he has always loved the Barbados-born beauty, although it's the 'Sledgehammer' singer who has allegedly been putting off starting a relationship with the rapper.
A source close to the Canadian artist told E! News: "He still loves her and never stopped. Rihanna is the one that's been not wanting to settle down in the past.
"They are having fun spending time with each other."
It is alleged the pairs budding romance is all down to their collaboration on their recent hits 'Too Good' from Drake's latest album 'Views' and 'Work', which is from Rihanna's 'Anti' album.
The source explained: "Their music together got them close again."
And Drake has admitted the reason behind their successful tracks is the "genuine energy" they share.
Speaking previously, he said: "It wouldn't be a record without Rihanna, would it?
"We do well as a team."
Meanwhile, Drake has recently declared during Rihanna's concert , which was held at the Emirates Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester on Wednesday (29.06.16), he is getting his "heart broken" by the creative director of the sportswear brand Puma.
Speaking to the audience during Rihanna's gig, which saw the brunette beauty gyrate on Drake's crotch, he said: "Shout out to the most beautiful, talented woman I've ever seen.
"She goes by the name of Rihanna ... I'm getting my heart broken."
However, the pair - who regularly make surprise appearances at each other's gigs - have recently been seen getting cosy again and aren't "seriously dating".
A source said: "[They] aren't seriously dating.
"It's just for fun right now.
Another insider added: "They hooked up that night they went to 'Nice Guy' together and stayed until 5:30 a.m."
