The past relationship between Drake and Serena Williams was in the spotlight thanks to the halftime show at the Super Bowl in February 2025, when Kendrick Lamar brought the retired tennis player on stage as a dancer. This made fans wonder about their past relationship. So when exactly did their romantic relationship start, and, more importantly, when did they break up?
Below are more detailed details about Drake and Serena’s past relationship.
The timeline of Serena and Drake’s relationship is unclear. However, according to several sources, their romance began sometime in 2011.
Serena and Drake’s relationship began to decline by 2015, according to several sources. In the same year, a source told Hollywood Life that Drake and the retired tennis player «had been on a slow burn for several months».
«They had known each other for many years, and there had always been something between them, but the timing wasn’t right», - the source added. «Drake always used to say to her, 'When are we going out?' Serena never took Drake seriously in that way».
Although neither of them confirmed it, Drake released his song «Too Good» in 2016, which he claimed was inspired by his relationship with Serena, according to video footage from a previous studio session.
In a video that surfaced in 2024, Drake talked about his single «Too Good» in the studio, admitting that the song was «more about [him] and Serena».
«It's funny because when I write songs about women, I also write songs for them», - he explained. «So I know what song to write. If I’m talking about them, I’ll at least do them justice by writing a song they’ll like. So I know Serena very well, and I know she’ll hear this loud and clear, but she also won’t hate me for it because it’s lighthearted».
While the reason for their breakup remains a mystery, Drake’s song «Too Good» describes an unnamed person who, according to him, «took his love for granted» and used him.
«I'm too good to you / I’m too good to you / You take my love for granted, I just don’t understand», - Drake raps in one of the verses. «Years go by too fast / I can’t keep track / How long have we been holding on? I’m sorry for asking. This can’t end like this… And I want to tell you about my intentions / I want to do what I promise / I want to benefit from friendship»
