However it seems Adele’s words were in jest, as she has been reportedly dating Sketpa for more than a year following the breakdown of her marriage.
Adele split from Simon in April last year, after seven years together, and the hitmaker is believed to have filed for divorce in September 2019.
Adele shares a son, Angelo, with Simon while Skepta – real name Joseph Junior Adenuga Jr – became a father in 2018.

The reports came after the pair spoke about each other in high regards to the press and made it clear of their fondness on social media.
In 2016, Skepta said of Adele to ES Magazine: ‘Adele texts me all the time and keeps me in check. She speaks to me about how things are going.’
While in the same year, the Someone Like You hitmaker posted a picture of the Shutdown rapper, writing: ‘Tottenham Boy’ alongside a heart emoji.
The Mercury Prize winner retweeted the snap and replied: ‘love you’ with a red rose emoji.
Discussing the moment, months later Skepta 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.’
