The partner of an Australian woman who caught the eye of Canadian superstar Drake at a French restaurant previously moved to the country from Australia to play professional rugby.
The rapper sent fans into a spin last week when he shared a picture to his Instagram Stories from within Gigi Restaurant in St Tropez of a blonde woman, who seemed completely oblivious.
He captioned it: “Tried to airdrop this woman a pic of herself ‘cause she’s a dime.”
According to Saturday Confidential, the woman in the image is public relations assistant-turned-maths teacher Dearne Cooper, who is currently holidaying in the coastal town with her electrician partner Nathan Wynn, and their newborn son Henri.
Before Wynn became a tradie, he played for the French rugby league club Toulouse Olympique and finished the club’s leading scorer in the 2009/10 season.
He then played for semi-professional side FC.Lézignan in the south of France. He was named Scrum Half of the Year in the 2010/2011 season and stopped playing in 2013.
Back in Australia, before moving to France, he had played for the Canterbury Bulldogs, Sydney Bulls and St George Illawarra Dragons.
Cooper first made headlines in 2006 when she attended the Dally M Awards with then-NRL star Jarryd Hayne.
She was reported to have dated him for about three years.
Drake, 35, has previously dated Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez, and has been linked to Hailey Bieber and Serena Williams.
Saturday Confidential quoted an insider describing how “stunning girls” were circling Drake at the French restaurant, but he had “heavy security” keeping them at bay – and was “pretty much oblivious” to the attention he was attracting as he “couldn’t take his eyes off Dearne”.
He shared the photo of her with his 117 million Instagram followers.
