ADELE and her husband Simon Konecki have separated. The pop singer’s representatives Benny Tarantini and Carl Fysh confirmed the news Friday in a statement. “Adele and her partner have separated,” the emailed statement said. “They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment.” 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 United Kingdom. Her eagerly anticipated follow-up, 2011’s “21,” brought even more success thanks to the singles “Someone Like You,” “Rolling in the Deep” and “Rumour Has It.” The record topped the charts in 30 countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, 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 rumors she was working on new music. Konecki co-founded Life Water, an eco-friendly brand of bottled water in the United Kingdom. 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. (SD-Agencies) |
