UPDATE:Drake made headlines for shutting down a restaurant in Washington D.C. to wine and dine his rumored 18-year-old boo, Bella Harris. But the model squashed all the rumors in the following Instagram post.
“Coming off an amazing New York fashion week, I feel I need to set the record straight,” Harris wrote. “I did not dine in DC recently. I was happily working & dining in NYC everyday.”
E! News can affirm the rapper shut down RPM Italian in Washington, D.C. this week for a private dinner with 18-year-old model Bella Harris. A source says Drake sat tight for the upscale restaurant to “clear out” before heading into the main dining room on Monday evening, where Bella at that point met him.
The rumored couple ate cooked salmon, corn agnolotti, picatta moderno and whipped potatoes before being escorted out together, as per the E! report. Drake, who visited the country’s capital while in the middle of tour stops, came back to the restaurant the next night with Bella and a few friends.
Bella, who just graduated from high school in June and modeled for the likes of Calvin Klein, Guess and Forever 21, was initially romantically linked to the 31-year-old last month.
“No place I’d rather be,” she wrote in a picture with the Champagne Papi hugging her. It didn’t take long for the picture to go viral and for fans to speculate that he found his Mami, although the couple has never confirmed their relationship status.
One thing we do know about Drake and Bella is that they’ve at least known each other for two years. The model shared a picture of her and the “God’s Plan” rapper at the 2016 American Music Awards and at his Summer Sixteen Tour.
Moreover, her father is R&B music producer, Jimmy Jam. So she is well connected in the entertainment industry.
