Adele and rapper Skepta rumored to be dating
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Rumor has it that Adele may be rolling in the deep with her new beau, rapper Skepta.
The "Hello" singer, 31, is reportedly currently dating fellow Brit Skepta, whose real name is Joseph Junior Adenuga, after filing for divorce from husband Simon Konecki, 45, last month.
Skepta, 37, who is also a Tottenham native, has been on a string of dates with Adele. Friends of the pair are apparently "hoping and predicting that they go on to become a great couple," according to a source.

According to The Sun, the new couple has been in contact since Adele first announced her split with Konecki in April.
Less than two weeks ago, the "Skyfall" artist celebrated the rapper's 37th birthday at the Crystal Maze experience in London.
