Insiders say that Kim Kardashian and Drake have quietly been involved in a “friends with benefits” type of relationship for years — but things have reportedly escalated recently.
According to RadarOnline, the couple spent time together this summer at a luxurious villa in Lake Como, Italy. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that both Kim and Drake shared photos from seemingly the same mansion, prompting renewed speculation.
A source close to them told Radar that Drake has been obsessed with Kim for years, even moving to Hidden Hills in 2012 to be near her. The insider added that although Drake publicly insists they’re just friends, “everyone knows” their relationship has gone beyond that.
According to the same source, Drake prefers to keep things private because he “hates a circus.” On Kim’s side, part of the secrecy is tied to her ex, Kanye West — the insider explains they avoid going public largely because of the drama her past relationship could bring.
Another insider claimed that Drake has been “surprisingly committed” behind the scenes and even treats Kim very well, despite how low-key he keeps the relationship.
