Alan Carr ‘dating hairstylist’ almost two years after split from husband Paul Drayton

Alan Carr has reportedly found love again almost two years after he split from husband Paul Drayton.

The comedian, 47, is believed to be dating hairstylist Callum Heslop, 27, who appeared on Carr’s social media on Monday as they attended Mariah Carey’s Christmas concert in Los Angeles.

According to The Sun, their relationship is alleged to be going from strength to strength as Heslop flew across the pond to accompany Carr on the US leg of his Regional Trinket comedy tour – and has even hung out with the TV star’s close friend Adele.

A source told the outlet: “They have a really nice friendship and that has been the base for a relationship to blossom.

“He meets celebs through his job, so isn’t fazed. It takes a lot to introduce a partner to someone as famous as Adele but she couldn’t have been friendlier.”

The Standard has contacted Alan Carr’s rep for comment.

Carr confirmed his split from Drayton in January 2022 following three years of marriage.

A spokesperson for Carr said the couple had made the decision “jointly and amicably”.

Their statement read: “After 13 years as a couple and three years of marriage, Alan Carr and Paul Drayton would like to announce they are separating.

“They have jointly and amicably made the difficult decision to divorce and go their separate ways. We request that their privacy is respected at this sensitive time.”

The couple tied the knot in LA in 2018 and the wedding was officiated by Adele, who seemingly confirmed over the weekend that she had tied the knot with Rich Paul.

The British superstar reportedly confirmed she married the sports agent while attending her friend Carr’s comedy show in Los Angeles over the weekend.

One audience member told celebrity gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi: “I was at Alan Carr’s comedy show in LA tonight and Adele was in the audience. Alan asked the crowd if anyone got married recently and Adele shouted, ‘I did!’”

Another audience member added: “When he asked if anyone got married recently she yelled, ‘I did!’ Super cute all around and was super sweet.”Adele, 35, went public with Paul, 41, in July 2021. It came two years after she split from ex-husband Simon Konecki, with whom she shares son Angelo, 10.It was previously reported that the pair were engaged after Adele was spotted with a large diamond on her finger. Sources in April then claimed the pair were planning a summer wedding.
