Superstar singer Adele and her husband Simon Konecki have split, three years after they tied the knot in a secret wedding.

The news was confirmed by a representative for the couple, with a statement reading, "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."

Although the couple have chosen to keep their relationship mostly private, Adele and Simon dated for five years before getting married at a secret ceremony in 2016.

The 'Rolling In The Deep singer publicly addressed her wedding after she won a GRAMMY Award at the ceremony in 2017, saying, “Grammys, I appreciate it. The Academy, I love you. My manager, my husband and my son you’re the only reason I do it.”
