Who is Drake’s son and how old is he now?
Drake and Sophie’s son is named Adonis. He was born on 11 October in 2017, making him nearly six years old.
The couple kept Adonis a secret for almost a year, with Drake revealing the reason they kept him away from the limelight in June the following year.
In his song ‘Emotionless’, Drake rapped: “I wasn't hiding my kid from the world/ I was hiding the world from my kid/ From empty souls who just wake up and looked to debate/ Until you starin' at your seed, you can never relate.”
Who is Drake's baby mum Sophie Brussaux?
Sophie is a 34-year-old retired porn star who was born and raised in France, and now works as an artist.
She was first spotted with Canadian rapper Drake in January 2017, when they had dinner together in Amsterdam along with a group of friends.
Sophie gave birth to their son in October, nine months after she was pictured with Drake.
However, the star was at first not convinced the baby was his so took a DNA test which confirmed he is the father.
What has Drake said about his son, Adonis?
Aside from rapping about Adonis on his 2018 album ‘Scorpion’, Drake has shared quite a few pictures of his son over the years.
In March 2020 he shared the first few photos of them together, sending fans into meltdown at the adorable snaps.
Drake and Adonis attended their first public event together at the Billboard Music Awards 2021, where he received the notable Artist of the Decade award as he walked on stage holding hands with his son.
He adorably dedicated his award to his son as he embraced him during his speech.
The 'Laugh Now Cry Later' rapper has shared more videos and pictures of Adonis in recent years, with hilarious clips of his son teaching him French, to videos of him being a very impressive basketball player already.
He left fans in awe as he marked Adonis' fifth birthday with series of snaps on Instagram, dubbing his son 'my twin'.
He also previously spoke in an interview with Rap Radar about having to take a DNA test, explaining he wasn’t sure he was Adonis’ father for a long time, especially after the first DNA test results were “ruined in transit.”
The 36-year-old recalled: “So, I was in a really weird pending situation where I didn’t want to go tell the world that that was my son and it wasn’t.”
Drake then had to take a second test; he explained: “He’s a stunning child you know, with the brightest blue eyes and at the time I was like ‘I don’t know’.
“It actually wasn’t until a week before the album came out that I got confirmation that that was definitely my son.”
