Drake is reportedly dating 18-year-old model Bella Harris — and people have a lot of feelings about it
It looks like Drake has a new lady in his life.
The “In My Feelings” rapper fueled rumors that he’s dating Bella Harris when the pair was spotted getting cozy over dinner at RPM Italian in Washington, D.C., on Monday night. According to Page Six, Drake and Harris left separately after dining in a private area of the restaurant. They apparently had such a great time that they returned to RPM Italian the following night with a group of friends.
Drake, 31, and the 18-year-old model were linked last month after Harris posted a photo of the two of them with a heart emoji and the caption “no place I’d rather be.”
So who is Bella Harris? She’s a model who has starred in campaigns for Calvin Klein, Guess, Forever 21, and — interestingly enough — Rihanna‘s Fenty line.

It’s unclear how Drake and Harris met, but they have known each other for years. She apparently modeled for the rapper’s OVO label and has deep connections to the music industry; she’s the daughter of legendary R&B producer Jimmy Jam. Harris has posted photos with Drake on social media a few times over the past two years.

Of course, he’s hardly the only male celebrity to go for a younger woman. There’s Scott Disick, 35, who has been dating 19-year-old Sofia Richie for a year. And who can forget creep-du-jour Leonardo DiCaprio, who only dates women 20 years his junior or more. (The 43-year-old Oscar winner is currently seeing Camila Morrone, 21.) Still, it seems like the internet just expected better from Drake, who has romanced age-appropriate women before, including Rihanna and Serena Williams.

Drake almost being 30+ courting a girl who graduated HIGH SCHOOL in June is weird no matter how you slice it. Great artist or not, there’s some deeper issues there
