London, Dec 29 : Popstar Joss stone is reportedly dating a building trade guy she grew up with.

Danny Radford, 19, and Joss Stone, 21, grew up together but it was recently that they cemented their romance.

"Joss and Danny are definitely an item now. He's been staying with her at her home in Devon when she's home from Los Angeles, and they're inseparable," the Sun quoted a pal as saying.

"He'd do anything for her and is totally devoted - she seems to be just as taken with him," the pal added.

Danny, who still lives with his parents close to Joss's family home, is her first steady boyfriend since Beau Dozier.

"One of the reasons that they work so well is that Joss trusts him completely," the pal said.

"She knew him before she was famous and he has been close to her family for years. Joss's mum loves him and trusts him not to hurt her," the pal added. (ANI)
