Drake's Holiday Plans
The holidays are getting closer, and Hollywood Life is keeping people up to date on Drake's Christmas plans. According to a source, Drake will be heading to his hometown of Toronto and spending Christmas with his young son, Adonis, and his ex Sophie Brussaux.
"Drake will see his son for Christmas for sure. Things are good with him and Sophie, very smooth and friendly. They aren’t a couple but they are genuinely friends and he makes sure she and his son are very well taken care of so there’s nothing but love. When he sees Adonis she’s there and will stay at his house. He’s flown her out with Adonis to see him many times. Last month he threw a birthday party for Adonis [at his mansion in Toronto] and Sophie was there too, everything went great. Drake is planning the same thing for Christmas. Drake loves his son and wants to spend time with him and right now, because Adonis is so young, Sophie comes too. But it’s not an issue at all, they get along great."
Spending Time With Adonis
While he rarely talks about Adonis in interviews and is determined to keep him private, Drake is still a hands on dad and he can't wait to include Adonis in his holiday traditions.
"Drake traditionally does the holidays in Toronto, he likes being there because his mom is there and other family and it’s just a good time of year to connect with his loved ones. Drake’s mom is Jewish so they celebrate Hanukkah as well as Christmas, it’s one long celebration. Drake likes having Adonis visit him in Toronto because his mom and all his extended family are there so they want to see him too and Drake loves being able to show him off, Adonis is very loved."
Opening Up About Being A Dad
While Drake rarely addresses that part of his personal life, he has opened up in the past about what it's like to be a single dad. He told People:
"I’m just excited. All of the things I’ve learned from and through my father and the incredible things I’ve learned through my mother about patience, about unconditional love.
I am a single father learning to communicate with a woman who, you know, we’ve had our moments. I do want to be able to explain to my son what happened. But I don’t have any desire for him to like, not love his mother, or I don’t ever want the world to be angry at his mother. We have found ourselves in a situation, and we are both equally responsible."
Dealing With An Ex
Drake admits that it isn't always raising a son with a woman that he is no longer romantically linked to, but he is determined to make it work. He was raised by a single mother, and she has been an inspiration to him.
"I was really hard on my parents for giving me sort of a childhood that I had to wrap my mind around as I grew. Multiple times I sort of suggested that they could have done a better job at co-parenting, sticking together, not being so divided.
“I think I was more scared to tell my mom because my mom has had real relationships with women in my life over the course of my years that I’m sure she would expect or be elated if I were to have gotten one of those women pregnant. It was tough for me to tell her that it was somebody that she never met."
