Adele’s nearest and dearest are said to be concerned about her recent weight loss, with many begging the “Hello” singer to “slow down and stop dieting”.

According to a source friendly with the British star, concerns for her health were heightened when she attended Drake’s Halloween party earlier this month, looking like a shadow of her former self.
While the svelte 31-year-old is yet to publicly discuss her drastic weight loss, pals are deeply worried that she’s becoming obsessive and her eating and exercise habits are becoming unhealthy.
“Nobody disputes she’s done brilliantly to lose this weight, but now it’s getting obsessive,” an insider told Radar Online, adding the “Hometown Glory” singer has lost 20 kilograms.
“If she left it as she is now that would be fine, but she’s talking about losing a bunch more and really pushing herself to get the body of an athlete.
“She’s eating bird-sized portions and working out non-stop in the gym – often up to three times a day! Fitness has turned into a real OCD obsession, but she can’t seem to do moderation at all.”
Her shock weight loss comes months after she confirmed she’d split from her husband of seven years, Simon Konecki, 45.
“Adele and her partner have separated,” the singer’s representative Benny Tarantini and Carl Fysh said in a statement to the Associated Press. At the time of their split, a representative for the Skyfall singer said: “Adele and her partner have separated. They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment.”
Although Adele has remained tight-lipped about filing for divorce, rumours have recently been swirling that the hilarious singer has found love again. Several news outlets are reporting Adele is dating U.K. rapper Skepta. According to The Sun’s source, the music duo has been in contact since her separation and have been on several low-key dates, with Adele even celebrating the grime star’s 37th birthday at the Crystal Maze Experience in London a couple of weeks ago.
“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,” a source spilled to the tabloid.
“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 potential new couple actually have quite a lot in common. Not only do they share a love of music, but both they both hail from London’s Tottenham and both are parents. Adele has seven-year-old son, Angelo, whilst Skepta – real name Joseph Junior Adenuga Jr – became a dad last November.
“They are both private about their love lives and they are both committed to their children first and foremost as well,” continued The Sun’s source.
