Just weeks after rumors began to swirl that Drake and Rihanna are officially back on as a couple, new reports are claiming that the two are getting serious and may even be making big plans to elope.
According to Life & Style, Rihanna and Drake have allegedly been discussing tying the knot following their recent reconciliation and have even talked about heading back to Rihanna’s home country of Barbados to get married.
“[Rihanna] is overwhelmed with how happy she is with Drake,” a source told the site, hinting at an engagement and dishing the details on the couple’s alleged plans for a wedding and maybe even a baby.
“Drake and Rihanna have talked about getting married and have even discussed eloping,” the magazine revealed of the twosome, adding that Rihanna recently put forward the idea of going back to Barbados to get married because she’s “always wanted” to wed at home.
“Rihanna is really close to her niece, and it’s made her realize she wants a baby soon,” the insider told the site, adding that Drake “would love to be a dad.”
According to the source, Rihanna is also planning on taking Drake back to her homeland to spend some time with her family later this month.
Rihanna and Drake have both stayed tight lipped when it comes to spilling the beans on their reported reconciliation, though E! News claimed earlier this month that Drake “still loves” the star and reportedly always wanted to be with her, even when they were apart.
The Drake source also admitted that it was Drake and Rihanna’s recent time in the studio that helped them to grow close once again, which an insider also confirmed to Hollywood Life.
“That’s when Drake made up his mind to nail Rihanna down for good,” the site revealed, confirming that Rihanna and Drake’s romance heated up again during their recent studio time.
“Drake and Rihanna have been dating on and off for so long that he pretty much knows what makes her tick,” the insider continued of the couple, claiming that Drake “now he knows not to make the same mistakes he made before” when it comes to making their relationship work.
“At first she resisted because he made it too easy,” the site reported, but claimed that the “Needed Me” singer’s friends convinced her to give things another go with Drake. “They made the argument that Rihanna deserves to be treated like a queen.”
“Drake has always lavished attention on Rihanna, even when they weren’t dating,” the source said, reporting that Drake sent his rumored girlfriend flowers on her birthday and before big performances.
