Adele has something to sing about with new love Simon Konecki

Heartbreak has inspired her two award-winning albums, but it seems Adele's finally met a man who hits all the right notes.

Her new love is Brighton-based charity boss Simon Konecki, 36.

And we can reveal that things are getting serious as he took her to Florida last week to meet his family.

Wearing black leggings and a smock top, Adele, 23 - who's dropped two dress sizes - looked relaxed and happy as she smooched Simon on a trip to the Everglades.

The pair hugged as they took an airboat ride on the alligator-infested swamp.

Now's learnt the couple were also due to meet Simon's sister Alex, who moved to nearby Boca Raton from the UK with his mother Rosemary.

Adele, who admitted last year she'd signed up to dating site eHarmony, met Simon (who pals nickname Swampy) late last summer through friends.

‘It's been a bit of a whirlwind,' says a friend of Simon's.

‘They met in Brighton when Adele was at a little impromptu gig for a pal. There was an instant spark. He's quite spiritual and left-wing and loves Adele's creative side.

'They're both very private and quite homely, so they're a good fit.'
