Award-winning British singer’s representatives say there will be ‘no further comment’
Adele and her husband Simon Konecki have separated.
The pop singer’s representatives Benny Tarantini and Carl Fysh confirmed the news on Friday in a statement.
Adele gave birth to her son, Angelo, in 2012.
The award-winning British superstar has been private about her relationship, but confirmed she married Konecki when she won album of the year at the 2017 Grammys.
In her acceptance speech, she said: “Grammys, I appreciate it. The Academy, I love you. My manager, my husband and my son you’re the only reason I do it.”
London-born Adele released her debut album, 19, in 2008, which contained the songs Chasing Pavements and Hometown Glory and reached No 1 in the UK.
The record topped the charts in 30 countries, including the US and UK, and cemented Adele’s status as one of the world’s most successful artists.
She released her most recent album, 25, in 2015, which contained the single Hello. It proved to be another critical and commercial success.
In March, Adele was pictured entering a recording studio in New York City, sparking rumours she was working on new music.
Konecki cofounded Life Water, an eco-friendly brand of bottled water in the UK. Funds from the company assists the charity that Konecki runs, Drop4Drop, which provides clean water to countries in need.
A representative for Konecki could not be reached.
