Adele could be sending her love to a new lover. The Sun reported last October that after her April 2019 split from husband Simon Konecki, the Grammy winner was dating fellow musician Skepta (real name: Jospeh Junior Adenuga). Per the outlet, the pair celebrated the rapper’s 37th birthday at the Crystal Maze in London and were “spending more and more time together.” A source told The Sun, “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.”
Rumors about their relationship cooled down in 2020, but speculation is heating back up because of a recent Instagram comment from Skepta. Over the weekend, Adele shared photos of herself watching a re-airing of her 2016 headlining performance at U.K.’s Glastonbury festival. “5 ciders in 👌🏻” she captioned the post, which included a picture of her re-wearing the Chloé dress from that original performance. Skepta casually commented, “Finally got your Instagram password lol,” which led some to believe he either took the photos or helped post them. His comment has more than 7,500 likes.

While a source tells The Sun, “Some of their friends are hoping and predicting they could end up being a great couple one day,” these two already have a history has friends. In 2016, Skepta told ES Magazine, “Adele texts me all the time and keeps me in check. She speaks to me about how things are going.”
Soon after, Adele shared a photo of the rapper with the caption, “Tottenham Boy” alongside a heart emoji. Skepta retweeted the message and wrote “love you” next to an emoji of a red rose. He later told IBTimes UK, “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.”

He previously dated Naomi Campbell
In the past, Skepta has been linked to another high-profile UK celebrity—Naomi Campbell. They seemingly confirmed their relationship on the cover of British GQ in March 2018. The Sun’s report claimed that the couple broke up earlier this year after Campbell learned Skepta was expecting a child with another woman.
Some have speculated that Skepta wrote a song about Adele
On March 27, Skepta released Insomnia, a collaborative album with Chip and Young Adz. One track in particular seemed to reference his past relationships with celebrities, including Adele and Campbell. “Mic Check” includes lyrics, “Can you handle the fame?/”You know you’re f*cking with a star”/When you’re f*cking with me, they talk about you in the press.” Skepta hasn’t confirmed the subject of the lyrics.
He’s also a parent
A source explained to The Sun that Adele and Skepta “are both private about their love lives and they are both committed to their children first and foremost as well.” Adele is a mother to her almost 7-year-old son Angelo, while Skepta welcomed his daughter, River, in early 2019.
