Serena Williams made quite an impression at this year's US Open last Friday night after taking on Bethanie Mattek-Sands as she dominated the third set, performing 3-6, 7-5, and then a 6-0 victory before doing that agile split that really made its rounds on the Internet.  In addition to Serena's wins on the court, there have been a lot of rumors that she is dating the Canadian rapper Drake.  The two of them have been caught kissing again, which leads many to wonder what the status of their relationship is.

According to E News online, there were reports that Drake and Serena Williams were linked romantically at a restaurant in Cincinnati.  This is interesting, as Drake and Serena supposedly called it quits in 2012.

The Inquisitr talks about how photographers caught Drake and Serena kissing last month.  There is even video footage of the supposed couple leaving some kind of fine restaurant or hotel.  You can find a video of them on Instagram here. 

It doesn't look like either of the two is doing anything to stop these rumors of them being paired.   Adding fuel to the fire of these rumors, a Williams' insider explains: "Things are heating up with the duo and all of Serena's friends approve of the pair".  The insider also explains that Drake is "a true gentleman and is very supportive" of Williams' career as well as her busy schedule. 

The television host Wendy Williams has given a warning to Serena, saying that Drake is younger than Serena, with him being 28 and she being 33.  She also warns that Drake is "a bit of a ladies man". 

It is possible that Drake and Serena have been having some kind of relationship since 2011.  According to Complex, the two have been rumored to be together since then.  Drake is often seen at a number of Serena's matches. 

While Serena was playing the US Open, last weekend was a time for Drake to freestyle on the Weekend's "Tell Your Friends", according to Rolling Stone.  Drake added a fresh verse to Kanye West's "Beauty Behind the Madness". 

So what is the word?  Well, if Serena and Drake have a relationship going, one would have to admit that it might be difficult to even get them in the same room together.  Since Drake is a music artist, he is required to tour and spend a lot of time in the studio.  When it comes to Serena, most athletes have to spend all day practicing, and also travel a lot when it comes to playing official games. 

The best conclusion that can be drawn is that Serena and Drake are definitely attracted to each other, but it might not be even possible for them to commit to each other.  That is, unless they are willing to change their lifestyles and schedules to ensure they could stay together and possibly get married.  Considering that this pairing has been supposedly occurring since 2011, it will be interesting to see where the status of this relationship is four years from now.
