One of the most successful singer-songwriters
of all time, Adele and water charity executive Simon Konecki met
in 2011. They had a son a year later, and married in 2016.
"Adele and her partner have separated. They are committed to
raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for
privacy. There will be no further comment," a spokesman for
Adele said in a statement.
Adele Adkins, 30, shot to fame in 2008 with her debut album
'19', lauded for its combination of soulful vocals and
confessional lyrics.
Her last album, '25', released in 2015, broke U.S. and British
records by becoming the fastest-selling album of all time. She
became the first person in the history of the Grammy awards to
win the top three awards twice.
U.S. media reported in March this year that Adele had visited a
recording studio in New York, raising speculation that a new
album would surface soon.
