How long have Kim and Drake been secretly seeing each other?
Insiders claim that Kim and Drake’s relationship has been years in the making. ““Drake has been obsessed with Kim forever,” insider stated. “Everyone knows she’s the reason he moved to Hidden Hills in 2012 — because he wanted to be in her neighborhood.”
“He played the friend card with Kim for a long time and still publicly claims that’s all they are, but everyone knows they’ve been hooking up for years on and off,” according to the insider, reported by Globe.
For Kim, who’s determined to maintain her “It Girl” image even at 45, the connection with the 39-year-old hitmaker is a power move. “He’s hot, successful and younger — it’s a big flex for her,” the source adds. “No doubt it irks her that she’s getting this reputation as not being able to get a date.”

Why is Kanye West still a problem for Kim?
One person who’s not thrilled about the situation is Kim’s ex-husband, Kanye West. The insider explains, “If it wasn’t for Kanye and his unhinged behavior, she’d be pushing Drake to go public. Look at the absolute nightmare he unleashed on Pete Davidson when they dated. Pete broke up with her because he was truly afraid for his safety,” as per a report by Globe.
Kanye’s unpredictable reactions have reportedly made Kim cautious about letting her relationship with Drake become public knowledge, as per a report by Globe.
What’s really keeping Drake from going public?
Drake, meanwhile, seems content keeping things low-key. According to the insider, “It’s a perfect situation for Drake because he likes people to think he’s single, even when he’s not, that way he can keep being a player.”
“Meanwhile, Kim says she’s fine with it because she doesn’t need drama with Kanye — but then she goes and drops these photos and totally busts herself,” said the source, reported Globe.
Although Kim claims she’s fine keeping things private to avoid drama, her recent photo drops from the Italian getaway may have inadvertently “busted herself,” hinting at a story she’s not quite ready to tell.
With “everybody in Hollywood” talking, the secret that’s been whispered about for years may not stay hidden much longer.
