Adele and her new boyfriend are "joined at the hip".

The singer is in a new relationship with Simon Konecki, who is the CEO of the Drop4Drop charity. Although they haven't been together long things are already serious, with both parties adamant they've found their soulmate.

"There was an instant attraction and they talked for hours. They've been joined at the hip ever since and then he whisked her off to America for New Year!" a source told Look magazine. "Adele's been saying he's the best thing that's happened to her, and it's nice that he's so successful in his own right. They're both following their dreams. We think it won't be long before they move in together."

Adele is famed for writing songs about heartbreak and her last record 21 was about the breakdown of a relationship.

She took some time out to be alone and get over things but now feels ready to move on with her life.

"She's unbelievably happy. It's amazing how fast they clicked. She's been saying she can honestly see herself spending the rest of her life with Simon, and she's never been so in love," the insider added. "They had the most incredible time in America. They talked about the future and I think Adele was really excited that he seems so serious about her."
