Adele’s tangled relationship history as she moves on from Simon Konecki with Skepta

Adele is the undisputed queen of break up songs, and when she announced her shock divorce earlier this year, we all wondered what tear jerking heartbroken ballads the next album would bring.

The 31-year-old surprised fans when she quickly moved on with UK rapper and fellow Tottenham native Skepta, 37.
Who has Adele previously dated and written number 1 singles about? Here is a look at her relationship history so far.

“Mr 19” (2006) nicknamed “Mr 19”, the ex-boyfriend who inspired Adele’s first album, is the only ex whose identity was never revealed.

Adele’s devastated songs about the mystery man include Chasing Pavements and First Love, as the pair shared a painful experience of young love in their teens.

Mr 19 is rumoured to be bisexual, and she wrote Daydreamer about falling in love with him, and then dumping him after witnessing him make a pass at one of her male friends – according to Marc Shapiro’s biography of the star.

According to another biography by Sean Smith, Adele and Mr 19 dated for three months. When she found out he cheated, she marched into the bar he was in and punched him in the face.
