Just weeks after Adele filed for divorce from estranged husband Simon Konecki, the powerhouse songstress has been connected to a new man!
It’s being reported the 31-year-old has been linked to rapper Skepta, spending more time together amid separation from her ex! Only two weeks ago, a Mirror source revealed the pair were spotted at the Crystal Maze Live Experience in London for the Shutdown performer’s 37th birthday.

And according to The Sun, there’s been a mutual level of support as they both faced heartbreak. An insider spilled:
“Adele and Skepta have been there for each other a lot after both their relationships split up.”
For those who aren’t familiar with Skepta, the grime artist was said to be dating supermodel Naomi Campbell in 2017 and 2018. Whispers even spread the two were expecting after he shared a picture of a sonogram to his Instagram.
But now it’s Adele and Skepta who are sparking rumors, as a source revealed:
“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.”
We’re certainly rooting for Adele’s happiness!
Especially since the Tottenham hip-hop artist really has a great relationship with the pop songstress! Back in 2016, he gushed about his friend to ES Magazine, saying:
“Adele texts me all the time and keeps me in check. She speaks to me about how things are going.”
It was also the same year the momma of one posted about him to her IG, sharing:

As we previously reported back in April, Adele’s reps, Benny Tarantini and Carl Fysh, confirmed her separation from Simon. Their statement read:
“They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment.”
The Grammy winner and charity entrepreneur had been together over seven years and also share six-year-old son, Angelo.
Per E! News, a source said at the time how the couple “just grew apart,” divulging:
“They had a lot in common early on, but eventually they just grew apart… She became a bigger and bigger star, and he was okay [with] being in the background, but as she got bigger and had massive tours and intense schedules, they just grew apart.”
The confidant continued:
“Their marriage was clearly working for a very long time… Whenever she was out at big openings and special events, he was usually with her, and they looked really just happy together and in love.”
Despite their breakup though, a People source said at the time their split probably wouldn’t be “messy” for the sake of their child:
“Adele’s son is everything to her. Her whole life revolves around him. I just can’t see her divorce getting messy because she’s so careful when it comes to her son. She’s always five steps ahead in terms of how a decision will affect him.”
You know Adele and Skepta will be serious when she brings her son along on their dates!
