In a dramatic twist on the latest episode of The Family Chantel, Chantel Everett appears to have confirmed that hip hop sensation Drake has been sliding into her DMs following her split from Pedro Jimeno.
On the November 20 episode, Chantel, 32, revealed that she’s been receiving messages from several high-profile figures, including a notable “Canadian rapper.” While she didn’t explicitly name Drake, the implication was clear.
The episode further heated up the speculation when Pedro Jimeno, 32, took a jab at the rumors. “I heard the rumor that Drake slipped into Chantel’s DMs,” he quipped. “Why not go with Drake, the famous rapper?” His remarks seemed to fan the flames of the ongoing chatter about Chantel’s rumored connection with the music star.
Chantel had previously teased her evolving love life during an interview with Access Hollywood. “I’ve had people sliding into my DMs, including a few athletes, actors, and rappers,” she shared. “I’m definitely enjoying the attention, whether it’s from health care professionals or anyone else.”
The buzz about a possible romance between Drake and Chantel first emerged in 2022, with Media Take Out claiming in August that Drake had been reaching out to Chantel after her separation from Pedro. “Drake reportedly started DMing Chantel as soon as he heard about her divorce,” the report claimed. “He reached out to check on her and see how she was holding up.” Although there were rumors of a meetup, nothing materialized.
During this period, Chantel was still legally married to Pedro, who later seemed to take swipes at Drake on social media. On September 1, 2022, Pedro posted a story featuring Drake’s track “Hell Ya F–king Right” with the caption “Good luck with,” adding fuel to the speculation that he was dissing Drake.
As fans have seen in Season 5 of The Family Chantel, which premiered on November 6, the drama of Pedro and Chantel’s tumultuous marriage continues to unfold. Pedro filed for divorce on May 27, 2022, citing the marriage as “irretrievably broken,” and the couple was also subject to mutual restraining orders. Pedro has even accused Chantel of withdrawing over $257,000 from their joint business account, adding another layer to their publicized separation.
Stay tuned as the drama unfolds and the story of Chantel, Pedro, and the alleged Drake connection continues to capture the attention of reality TV enthusiasts.
