While the Passion Fruit hitmaker, Drake, made headlines last month for dropping not one but three albums together in May, now the mother of his 8-year-old son, Adonis, Sophie Brussaux, has drawn attention online after getting married to Efe Çalışkan on June 21, 2026, according to the New York Post.

The 36-year-old Sophie Brussaux, who welcomed Adonis in 2017, was not involved in any serious relationship with Drake, as they only went out a few times. However, following the birth of Adonis, controversy arose over whether he was really Drake's son. The Toosie Slide singer had to go through a paternity test, which eventually proved that Adonis was indeed his son.

A painter-turned-visual artist, Sophie Brussaux, who is originally from Paris, France, got hitched to the 26-year-old Efe Çalışkan in a ceremony on Sunday in Toronto's North York. While the newly married couple has kept their personal lives away from the media and public attention, their marriage ceremony was attended only by Sophie and Efe's family members and close friends. However, it is still not confirmed whether Drake or his son Adnois was present at their wedding ceremony.

As the mother of the iconic rapper's son, netizens are familiar with who Sophie Brussaux is; however, people are curious to learn about Efe Çalışkan. According to Hot97, Çalışkan, who is originally from Ontario, Canada, is a professional Muay Thai fighter. As Efe is a well-established athlete and Muay Thai fighter, he recently launched his MMA career in Canada.
