Adele And Husband Simon Konecki Have Reportedly Separated

Adele and her husband, Simon Konecki, have separated, according to the singer’s representatives.

“They are committed to raising their son together lovingly,” Adele’s representatives told The Associated Press via email. “As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment.”

The Grammy winner met Konecki, a water charity executive, back in 2011. Adele surprised fans at the Grammys in 2017 when she publicly confirmed her marriage to Konecki while accepting the Album of the Year award.

Adele and Konecki welcomed their son, Angelo, in 2012.

The singer’s fans shared messages of support on social media, while many also argued that the news shouldn’t spark excitement over the possibility of new music:

Perhaps it’s the former single mom in me, but all these celebratory tweets about Adele’s divorce — “a new album!” — makes me bone weary. All I want for her and her child right now is a quiet patch of the world where no one is excited for her sadness.

News of Adele splitting from her husband already has vultures clamoring for a new album

I wrote about how people usually do this to BW artists (see Mary J. Blige), but folks give Adele the Black-adjacent treatment so...🙃🙃🙃

(btw it's gross and we shouldn't do it)

A lot of the comments I have seen about Adele's divorce has been excitement over new music. No compassion, no basic human decency. You guys suck.

Can I just say @adele’s true fans are not wishing for new music because of the separation with Simon. We just want her to be okay. #DayDreamers #Adele
