Drake had admitted to having thought he would one day have the ‘perfect’ family with ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
The rapper, who has shared an on-again-off-again relationship with the Bajan beauty since 2005, made the revelation on Lebron James‘ HBO show titled The Shop.
During the interview, Drake didn’t hesitate to mention that he certainly saw himself settling down with the Kiss It Better songstress at one point in his life.

‘As life takes shape and teaches you your own lessons, I end up in this situation where I don’t have the fairy tale, like, ‘Oh, Drake started a family with Rihanna and this is like so perfect,’ the Canadian hitmaker explained.
But it seemed as if the two just couldn’t make the relationship work – no matter how hard they tried.

‘It looks so good on paper. By the way, I wanted that too at one time,’ the Hotline Bling rapper continued.
Drake and Rihanna had rekindled their romance back in 2016, shortly after having collaborated on the singer’s hit song Work, which had peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
That same year, the 31-year-old would go on to profess his love for the Fenty Beauty cosmetics entrepreneur at the MTV Video Music Awards.
‘She’s someone I’ve been in love with since I was 22 years old,’ the In My Feelings star said while presenting his ex-girlfriend with the Video Vanguard Award.

She’s one of my best friends in the world. She’s a living breathing legend in our industry.’
By October 2016 – just two months after his doting speech at the awards ceremony – the twosome had decided to split.
And while Rihanna and Drake were famously known for breaking up and getting back together, it seemed apparent that the two may have called it quits for good.
Back in May, rapper Pusha T had shed light on news that the former Degrassi actor had fathered a one-year-old 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 named Adonis with former French adult entertainment star Sophie Brussaux.

In early June, TMZ claimed that a paternity test had proven that the Hip-Hop star was the father of Sophie’s 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥.
And though he had initially remained quiet on all matters concerning his son, he used the release of his most recent album Scorpion – on June 29 – to confirm the news from his own words.
‘I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid,’ Drake raps on his song Emotionless.
The track also hears the father-of-one stress the importance of not always needing to respond to everything that’s written about him or the people in his life.
