Part 6: Separate Ways, New Baes

April 2015: Things are pretty quiet on the Drake/Rihanna front for a while, but fast forward a year and the rumor mill is back in business. When Drake hits the stage at Coachella — and has an epic makeout session with Madonna — Rihanna is front and center, watching from the audience. According to an eyewitness, she and Drake are also spotted looking "very couple-ey" after his set.
August 2015: By Summer, things seem to be back "off" for the two, as Drake is seen smooching it up with Serena Williams at a fancy dinner at upscale restaurant Sotto in Cincinnati, OH.
September 2015: Not long after Drake and Serena are caught playing tonsil hockey, Rihanna is spotted packing on the PDA with rapper Travis Scott, and it is soon reported that they are "dating, officially," with a source saying, "It's already very serious. He's very into her." While that's happening, Serena loses the US Open match, and social media wastes no time blaming Drake for her unprecedented upset.
October 2015: In an exclusive interview with Vanity Fair, Rihanna says that her "last real, official boyfriend" was Chris Brown, and makes no mention of Drake. Meanwhile, Drake releases the video for "Hotline Bling" and becomes an instant Internet sensation.
