Adele is reportedly dating rapper Skepta

Adele is reportedly dating Grime artist Skepta following the breakdown of her marriage with Simon Konecki.

The Hello singer, 31, has apparently developed a romance with her fellow Tottenham native, 37, after enjoying a string of dates.

And amid reports of the blossoming romance, friends of the pair are reportedly ‘hoping and predicting’ that they go on to become a ‘great couple.’

Adele split from Simon in April this year, after seven years together.

According to The Sun, the chart-topper joined Skepta to help celebrate his 37th birthday at the Crystal Maze experience in London just two weeks ago.

A source revealed to the publication: ‘Adele and Skepta have been there for each other a lot after both their relationships split up. They have a close bond and there’s definitely a special connection.

‘They’re spending more and more time together. Some of their friends are hoping and predicting they could end up being a great couple one day.
