Serena Williams’s Super Bowl Move Has Fans Thinking About Her Past with Drake
Serena Williams’s Fans Think She’s Not Over Ex Drake – Here’s Why!
Did Serena Williams Just Shade Drake at the Super Bowl? Fans Think So!
Serena Williams is making headlines again, but this time, it’s not for her legendary achievements on the tennis court. Instead, her Super Bowl LIX halftime performance with Kendrick Lamar has sparked rumors that she may still have lingering feelings for her ex, rapper Drake—even though she’s happily married to Alexis Ohanian.
Fans were quick to speculate after Serena was seen dancing alongside Kendrick Lamar during his performance of a Drake diss track. Now, the internet is buzzing with theories about whether this was a subtle jab at her former flame.
So, is there any truth to the rumors? Let’s break it down.
The Super Bowl Performance That Sparked the Rumors
During Super Bowl LIX, Kendrick Lamar performed a song that is widely believed to be a diss track aimed at Drake. The track, part of an ongoing rap feud, has been a hot topic in the hip-hop world.
But what does this have to do with Serena Williams?
Serena’s Involvement in the Performance
- Serena was seen dancing along to Kendrick Lamar’s diss track, which fans believe may have had a personal meaning for her.
- The moment quickly went viral, leading many to believe that she was subtly throwing shade at Drake.
- Given that she had a romantic past with the rapper, some fans feel this was a pointed move rather than just an innocent dance.
Social media exploded with reactions, with some fans questioning whether this could cause tension in her marriage with Alexis Ohanian.
Serena and Drake: A Complicated Past
To understand why fans are making these assumptions, let’s take a quick look at Serena Williams’s history with Drake.
A Look Back at Their Relationship Timeline
- Serena and Drake were rumored to be dating as far back as 2011.
- In 2015, their romance reportedly reignited after they were spotted getting cozy and even kissing in public.
- Interestingly, Serena met Alexis Ohanian in May 2015, just months before she was last linked to Drake.
- Drake has even referenced Serena in his music, and fans believe some of his lyrics suggest he had deep feelings for her.
While Serena eventually moved on and married Alexis in 2017, Drake has taken several public shots at her relationship, making it clear that he wasn’t happy about it.

Drake’s Diss at Serena’s Husband – Was It Personal?
Drake has never been shy about expressing his emotions through music, and his lyrics have often hinted at past relationships.
One line that particularly stood out to fans was when Drake seemed to take a dig at Alexis Ohanian, implying that his past with Serena was more meaningful. This has only fueled speculation that there’s still unresolved tension between the former couple.
What Experts Say About Serena and Drake’s Past
While fans are convinced Serena’s Super Bowl moment had a deeper meaning, relationship experts disagree.
According to Orna and Matthew Walters, well-known dating coaches and authors of Getting It Right This Time: Break Free from Your Hidden Blocks to Lasting Love, Serena’s dance move might not mean anything serious.
“Love is messy and doesn’t stay inside the lines. You can be happy in your current relationship and still feel the pangs of rejection from a past love.”
This means that even if Serena’s past with Drake had emotional weight, it doesn’t necessarily mean she’s still hung up on him.
Should Alexis Ohanian Be Worried? Fans Think So!
Some fans speculate that Alexis Ohanian may not be thrilled about his wife’s connection to a song that is part of a major diss war involving her ex.
Social media comments suggest:
- "Alexis must be side-eyeing Serena right now."
- "I’d be mad if my wife was dancing to a diss track about her ex!"
- "Drake and Serena were meant to be, Alexis should be worried."
But despite all the talk, Serena and Alexis have always presented a strong and loving relationship. They’ve built a beautiful life together, and their public interactions suggest they are as happy as ever.
Is There Really Anything to Worry About?
At the end of the day, Serena Williams is a happily married woman with a successful career and a beautiful family. While fans love to read into every move she makes, it’s unlikely that her Super Bowl moment was anything more than just that—a moment.
Drake and Serena may share a past, but her present (and future) belongs to Alexis Ohanian. Unless Serena herself speaks on the matter, these rumors are likely just another case of fans overanalyzing celebrity interactions.
Still, one thing’s for sure—this drama isn’t going away anytime soon!
