Good news for Drake and Serena shippers -- they appear to be shipping each other.

Recent photos of the rapper and tennis star Serena Williams getting intimate at a restaurant are being touted as proof that the duo are indeed a thing and for sure dating -- if not just making out in a restaurant.

The “Started From the Bottom” rapper was photographed several times while nuzzling Williams in a private room of Cincinnati’s upscale Sotto restaurant on Sunday, according to TMZ, which obtained the grainy images.

Williams, 33, had been in Mason, Ohio, earlier that day, beating Simona Halep of Romania at the Western & Southern Open. The Grammy winner cheered her on from the stands, according to reports.

Drake, 28, who was said to have been accompanied by a few others at the restaurant, reportedly couldn’t keep his hand and lips off the Wimbledon champ at dinner.

The global athlete has been linked to the Toronto emcee in the past, most notably in late 2011 and early 2012 when her ex, rapper Common, went after Drizzy over her. The “Degrassi” alum, real name Aubrey Graham, also rapped about her court prowess on his 2013 track “Worst Behavior.”

In July, Drake posted about the tennis star on Instagram with a specially dedicated photo congratulating her on her sixth Wimbledon win. He was also spotted around the British tennis tournament cheering her on and hanging out with her and friends.
