Award-winning Singer, Adele, has been rumoured to be dating one of UK’s hottest rap acts, Skepta. The pairing has come as a surprise to many who would have never considered the two as an item before now.
Interestingly, both music stars, who hail from Tottenham, have been quite close with each other since 31-year-old Adele’s split from her husband in April.
Adele celebrated the rapper’s 37th birthday during a night out at the Crystal Maze experience in London less than a fortnight ago.

A source revealed: “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.”
Both superstars have something in common as Adele has a son Angelo, who turns seven this month, and Skepta became a dad in November last year. The source said: “They are both private about their love lives and they are both committed to their children first and foremost as well.”
Skepta, whose real name is Joseph Junior Adenuga, told ES magazine in 2016: “Adele texts me all the time and keeps me in check. She speaks to me about how things are going.”
The same year, Adele posted a picture of the BET award winner Skepta, captioning it “Tottenham Boy” alongside a heart emoji.
In response, Skepta retweeted it with the caption “love you” and an emoji of a red rose.
Speaking on the experience, Skepta said:
“She gassed me up. One day I was just chilling and she [tweeted] a picture that said ‘Tottenham boy’ and she’s from Tottenham as well.
“I was actually going to quit music that day, that was one of the sickest things ever. She’s like the lady of Tottenham.”
This is all coming after Adele’s split from her charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki,45, who she had been dating since 2011. According to The Sun, she has been eager to return to the dating scene.
Skepta dated supermodel Naomi Campbell briefly last year. The couple split allegedly because Naomi discovered Skepta was expecting his daughter, Rivera, with another woman.
For now, Skepta and Adele have chosen to remain silent about their relationship status.
