Singer Adele, 30, and her husband Simon Konecki, 45, have split up. This confirmed the manager of the artist to the news agency AP.

The two had accordingly agreed to raise their son together despite the separation. "As always, they want their privacy protected, and there will be no more comments." Adele had her son Angelo born in 2012.

The British superstar had long kept his relationship with Konecki secret and only confirmed in 2017. At the 2017 Grammy Awards, she said, "My manager, my husband, my son - you're the only reason I do that."

Konecki is co-founder of the mineral water brand Life Water. The company's revenues are being financed by the aid organization Drop4Drop, which promotes access to clean water in developing countries.
