Finally, Adele confirms marriage to long-term partner

After years of speculation, superstar singer Adele Adkins has confirmed that she is married to Simon Konecki.

The singer and Konecki have a four-year-old son, Angelo, but Adele has for many years been evasive about her marital status.

But on Sunday she gave fans a much-desired confirmation during a concert in Brisbane, Australia.

“That feeling when you first fall for someone is the best feeling on earth,” she said.

“And I am addicted to that feeling. Obviously, I can’t go through with those feelings because I’m married now. I’ve found my next person.”

Konecki is a former financier who founded drop4drop, a charity that presses for global access to clean drinking water.

During last month’s Grammy Awards, Adele while receiving her plaque, had given a strong hint that she was married to Konecki.

“My husband and my son – you’re the only reason I do it,” she had said.

Adele won the top three categories of the Grammys – Best Album, Best Record, and Best Song – for the hugely successful album, 25.

The Briton won a total of five awards on the night.
