Joss Stone dating music producer
Teenage singer Joss Stone is dating music producer Raphael Saadiq, her close friend R&B star Lemar has confirmed.
The 19-year-old and her publicists have tried to hide her romance with 40-year-old Saadiq, who played bass on her latest album.
She recently said: "He is from Oakland, I'm from Devon, England; he is 40, I am 19; he is American, I'm English. It's, like, two completely different people."
But Lemar insists Stone has confessed the truth to him.
He says: "I've known about their relationship for ages. Joss is always texting me about how happy she is. And it's the real deal.
"I'm happy for her. She's a great girl, and she's really into him.
"She's doing really well in the States right now so it's nice that she is settling down too."
