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.”

In 2012, Adele gave birth to the couple's first child, a baby boy who they decided to call Angelo.

Meanwhile, fans will be hoping to hear new music from Adele, after the singer last released material in 2015. She was spotted in a New York City recording studio back in March, leading to speculation that her fourth album could be in the works.
