During a recent radio appearance, Redfoo who is known for his wild hair and wilder music, dropped this hint that the two were dating via Sports Illustrated magazine.

“I’m in love,” Redfoo said. “I don’t care who knows it. With a special one. I got a special one. A No. 1, if you will.” 
Who else is it other than the person (Vika Azarenka) with whom Redfoo is seen partying hard of late.
