Drake is back in the spotlight, and this time, he’s making waves by reconnecting with an old flame: none other than Jennifer Lopez. With J. Lo freshly single after filing for divorce from Ben Affleck, the Canadian rapper wasted no time reaching out, making it clear he’s ready to swoop in. According to an exclusive source who spoke to “In Touch”, Drake and J. Lo have been chatting it up, exchanging flirty late-night texts and calls.
The source dished that Drake didn’t hold back when he contacted the “Jenny from the Block” singer. “As soon as she filed the papers, Drake reached out. He was sweet, telling her Ben was a fool for letting her go, and he quickly made it clear he’s more than willing to step in,” the insider revealed. Drake, at 37, seems eager to rekindle whatever was brewing between him and the 55-year-old icon years ago.
For those who might have forgotten, this isn’t the first time Drake and J. Lo have been linked. Back in 2016, they shared some cozy Instagram snaps and were spotted kissing at a prom-themed party. In February 2017, Lopez admitted they were “hanging out,” though she didn’t dive into the specifics of their relationship. It seemed like a fling that fizzled out—until now.
So, what’s different this time? Well, Drake’s flattery seems to be working. “They have their own history and a lot of chemistry, and it really made her smile,” the insider explained. Apparently, their conversations are heating up fast. “They’re texting every day, and things are definitely getting hot.”
But J. Lo isn’t naive. The source added that while she’s enjoying the attention, her “guards are up” because she knows all about Drake’s reputation as a bit of a player. It doesn’t mean she isn’t interested, though. According to the insider, she might not be thinking long-term with the rapper, but he “meets her needs for a hook-up” just fine.
With their sexting reportedly going strong, Lopez seems to be enjoying the chemistry without diving headfirst into anything serious. The insider claimed Drake is being romantic and intelligent, making her feel good without pushing for more than she’s ready for. He’s also being discreet—something Lopez values. “He’s kept her secrets before, and she trusts him to do it again.”
Whether this relationship is just a temporary distraction or something more remains to be seen. Drake, for his part, is ready to step in whenever Lopez is. “He’s prepared to drop everything and meet her wherever she wants,” said the source, hinting that it’s only a matter of time before things escalate—if J. Lo feels the timing is right.

Jennifer has been open about the difficulties of her recent split from Ben Affleck. After rekindling their romance nearly two decades after their initial engagement, they wed in July 2022, but their love story didn’t unfold as she had envisioned. In a candid interview with “Interview” magazine, Lopez admitted her divorce feels “lonely, unfamiliar, and scary.” Yet, she’s learned to embrace her independence and isn’t actively seeking a relationship right now.
For now, it seems like J. Lo is focusing on herself, but with Drake making his move, this celebrity pair could still have more chapters left in their story. As always with Hollywood, only time will tell.
