Rihanna and Drake dating isn't news anymore, but Rihanna And Drake Exclusively Dating is news to fans and the world alike. The together again couple are finally back after months of flirting and sexy dates, and they have made it official. Drake is more than elated of their taking the next step that he even announced it to the world.

Everybody knows that Rihanna and Drake's official relationship status has been long overdue. The news of Riri and Drizzy's official relationship status was reported March 16. Apparently, Drake is on the moon about it that he can't help bragging about it for days.

The new official couple went to Zouk Tea Bar & Grill in London on March 13 and this was when Drake started calling Rihanna his girlfriend. Owner of Zouk told HollywoodLife.com that when Drake went into the bar and grill, he introduced Rihanna as his GF.

Rihanna and Drake have been reported to be going romantic dates since October, but both have been mum about their relationship. They even went as far as separately going into and leaving clubs and restaurants to keep the press' eyes off of them.

The news that Drake unflinchingly told a restaurant owner that Riri is his girlfriend is big news that he is indeed serious about Rihanna. The Zouk owner said, "They were talking and quite relaxed, just enjoying the night out."

The question is: how did Drake win Rihanna's heart and get her to exit that toxic relationship with Chris Brown?

A source reports that though it was not easy getting Riri to commit and move on from Chris, Drake was very patient and respectful with Rihanna's wishes. "He stood by - patiently I might add - while she was with [Chris]," said the source. "All he did was stay back and watch. Rihanna made her choice back then and while it didn't work out in the end, he still loved and respected her."

The source added. "He knows that what he has with Rihanna is genuine and real."

Rihanna and Drake becoming an official couple is a big step for Rihanna who had gone through an abusive relationship with Brown back in 2009. Rihanna and Chris Brown had been on again off again until they got engaged last year.
