Adele and Skepta fans can't get enough of reports claiming the two stars are dating

Skepta and Adele have hit headlines for an unexpected reason as according to reports, the musical pair are dating.

Adele, 31, recently became single when she split from Simon Konecki after three years of marriage.

Rapper Skepta, 37, is also believed to also be single, after becoming a father late last year.

Both stars rarely speak about their private lives.

The pair, both from Tottenham, have frequently shown appreciation for each other in past interviews and the Sun is now claiming they’ve taken things to the next level.

A source is quoted as telling the paper that Adele and Skepta have gone on "a number of dates", stating: "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.”

Fans soon shared their pleasantly surprised reactions on Twitter:

Standard Online has contacted representatives for Adele and Skepta for comment.

Following her split from Konecki, Adele is rumoured to be working on a follow-up to her 2015 album, 25.

Skepta released his latest record, Ignorance Is Bliss, to positive reviews in May.
