Are Drake and Serena Officially Messing ?

As reported by TMZ:  "Hours after Serena dominated and won the WTA tournament in Cinci -- with Drake in the crowd -- the two hit up the uber-fancy Sotto restaurant in downtown for some hoity-toity Italian food."

In the racy photos released by TMZ, both Serena and Drake look pretty comfortable with each other. The two are close enough to feel each other’s breaths on their necks while presumably also eating. and from the look of the pics, Drake’s apparently a big fan of giving neck kisses.

This isn't the first time the two have been romantically linked. Back in 2012, it was rumored that Drake was the cause of the breakup between rapper, Common and Serena after the relationship ended between the two. A beef between both Common and Drake was sparked, giving birth to songs like "Stay Schemin" and Sweet". In an interview with VladTV Common explained that his beef with Drake  was in fact all because of Serena.

“I think that was, for me, an emotional thing. I was feeling like..at that time, I think it was the “Drake/Serena situation” I didn’t know what was going on with that. I didn’t know if he was throwing things, shots or anything.

“This is my ex and we kind of going our separate ways. Unfortunately the war might have been over a girl, even if at the time I never said that.”

Fast forward to today, a source has said:

”Publicly she says they’re just friends but Drake has been by Serena’s side throughout the tournament and when they’ve been away from the public and relaxed, it’s been pretty obvious that they are together.

”Even Serena’s team have been talking about it in the clubhouse to a few people they trust. She has been incredibly focused on her title bid. But if she’s had a quiet moment she’s spent it with Drake, even going to watch his Wireless set and having dinners in London.”

I guess we'll all have to wait and see if theses two are in fact official tissue...
