While presenting Rihanna with the Video Vanguard Award at Sunday's Video Music Awards, Drake decided it was as good a time as any to profess his undying love for the singer.
"She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22 years old," the 29-year-old said. "She's one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I've looked up to her, even though she's younger than me." Rihanna's response? She laughed, then rolled her eyes.
As if the original declaration of love wasn't enough, it appears as though Drake went in for a kiss after Rihanna received her Moonman, but was rebuffed.

Things took a twist, though, when the pair held hands as they walked offstage. There have been rumblings that the two "secretly dated" earlier this year, so now the question is whether or not they'll become the next It Couple. S.O.S. please someone help me understand what exactly is going on with this relationship.
