Adele, 31, shocked her avid followers when filed for divorce from Simon Konecki, 45, in California in September. The “Someone like You” singer and her ex-partner had separated five months prior to the former’s filing. Recent reports claimed that the singer-songwriter is now ready to be in a romantic relationship again.

Radar Online claimed that Adele and a British rapper named Skepta are dating. Rumors are rife that the “Rolling in the Deep” hitmaker and her alleged new found love had been communicating with each other since the songstress ended her relationship with Konecki. The publication even stated that Adele was present during Skepta’s 37th birthday at the Crystal Maze Experience in London last month.

An unnamed insider, reportedly, told The Sun that the pair has been comforting each other after their splits from their previous partners. They were, allegedly, introduced to each other by a mutual friend named Stormzy. It was even claimed that they two had developed a “special connection” in the process as they spend more time with each other. Close pals of Adele and Skepta, reportedly, predicted that they could become official any time soon.

Dating rumors sparked after Skepta revealed to ES Magazine, in 2016, that he and Adele have regularly been communicating. Aside from keeping him in check, the “Shutdown” rapper even stated that the English songstress shares life updates. The romance speculations intensified after the “Skyfall” singer shared a photo of the rapper on Twitter and wrote “Tottenham Boy” with a red heart emoji in the caption.

Though it is not impossible for Adele and Skepta to have a romantic relationship at the moment, it should be noted that neither of the hitmakers has confirmed these dating rumors. In fact, the representative of the “Turning Tables” singer did not confirm the speculations when asked if the duo is already an item. The “Energy” rapper’s spokesman did not respond to requests for comment up to this writing.

For starters, Adele and Simon Konecki started dating in late 2011. The ex-couple welcomed their son, Angelo, on Oct. 19, 2012, and, officially, tied the knot in 2016. They announced their separation after three years of marriage.
