The news regarding the relationship between music icon Drake and model Bella Hadid has been spreading like wildfire. Reporters and fans alike have been anxious in wait as there has yet to be any confirmation on whether Drake and Hadid are dating or not. For a while now, the news about their situation has been shrouded in obscurity. However, more reports have indicated that the two could actually be dating, perhaps longer than anyone had expected.

In a report by News 18, it was confirmed that Hadid and Drake have indeed been dating for the past four months. The singer and songwriter had reportedly thrown Hadid a birthday bash to celebrate her turning 21 earlier this month. Hadid was very appreciative of the gesture, and has allegedly grown fonder of Drake after the birthday party. When the two had started dating, it was just casual, which has now changed after Drake's recent efforts.

The birthday party happened in New York, where Drake was able to finally get Hadid to look at the relationship more seriously. Given that confirmation, fans might be able to see Hadid and Drake spending some quality time together in public, especially now that they have decided to take their relationship a bit more seriously. As reported by IOL, Hadid was not initially interested in engaging in a serious relationship with Drake.

After Hadid broke up with former boyfriend Abel Tesfaye of The Weeknd in November 2016, she was not really excited about the prospect of being in another relationship. Yet, it seems that 30-year-old Drake has been able to successfully court Hadid. Both have agreed to keep their relationship as private as possible. According to The Hollywood Gossip, fans have even over-analyzed the appreciation post on Hadid's Instagram.

In the caption, she stated "I love you," without directing it towards any particular person. Perhaps, as fans are probably hoping, it could be directed towards the artist, especially since he shouldered all of the expenses for the lavish party.
