Everyone loves an unlikely celebrity couple, but one we certainly didn't see coming was Adele and Skepta.

While they've famously been friends for years, new reports suggest the Tottenham locals have recently decided to take their relationship to the next level.

Yep, according to The Sun, the rapper, 37, and Someone Like You hitmaker, 31, have been on a series of dates and their friends are even hoping they could become an official couple.

Adele is said to have been eager to get back on the dating scene since she announced her split from her husband Simon Konecki back in April after seven years together.

And she and Skepta are said to have been in regular contact in the months that followed.

The rapper - real name Joseph Junior Adenuga Jr - split from his short-term girlfriend, supermodel Naomi Campbell, last year after it was revealed he was expecting a child with another woman.

An insider 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.

"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."

The musical pair are said to have got so close that Adele even attended Skepta's birthday bash at the Crystal Maze experience in London less than a fortnight ago.

"ADELE AND SKEPTA?!!!I would've never predicted that," one fan wrote as the news broke.

Adele and Skepta have both publicly voiced their fondness for each other over the years, with the rapper telling ES Magazine that she keeps him "in check" back in 2016.

As he won the Mercury prize, Adele shared a picture of Skepta on Instagram alongside a heart emoji, and wrote "Tottenham Boy".

He swiftly retweeted it with the words: "Love you".

Discussing her tribute months later, he excitedly recalled that he considered "quitting music" after gaining her approval.

"She gassed me up," he said. "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."

Adele and Charity entrepreneur ex Simon share seven year old son Angelo, while Skepta's daughter River was born in November.

The Sun's source added: "They are both private about their love lives and they are both committed to their children first and foremost."

Pretty 52 has contacted Adele and Skepta's representatives for comment.

While Skepta did not respond to The Sun's requests to comment, Adele's rep cryptically said: "No reply at this time".

Anyone else planning the wedding?!
