Adele and Simon Konecki: The Way They Were

Turning tables. After two years of marriage and seven years as a couple, Adele and husband Simon Konecki called it quits in April 2019.

Adele and her partner have separated,” the singer’s rep confirmed in a statement to Us Weekly at the time. “They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment.”

The “Hello” singer and the Drop4Drop charity CEO — who welcomed their son, Angelo, in October 2012 — were notoriously private about their relationship. During a rare interview with Rolling Stone in November 2015, the musician did confess that at least one of the tracks on her third album, 25, is about her then-partner.

Adele told the outlet that her song “Water Under the Bridge” is about Konecki. She said, “It was sort of about a relationship suddenly getting really, really serious, and then getting a bit frightened by it, and then realizing that ‘I think this must be right. This is the relationship that I want to be in for as long as I can possibly be in it.'”

The Grammy-winning songstress and her now-ex went public with their relationship in January 2012. Six months later, she revealed that she and Konecki were welcoming a little one to their family.

“I’m delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together,” the “When We Were Young” singer wrote on her website in June 2012. “I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we’re over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele xx.”

Over the years, the London native gave some insight into her private life via her music and the occasional interview. “It’s the most serious relationship I’ve ever been in; we’ve got a child together and we live together,” she told Variety in December 2016, adding that Konecki was “confident” and “perfect” in her eyes.

Nearly two years after she initially filed for divorce, Us confirmed in March 2021 that a judge signed off on the paperwork, officially ending their marriage. Two months prior, Us broke the news that the duo reached a settlement in their case.

January 2012

Adele went public with Konecki around London in January 2012, leading many to suspect they were dating. The singer confirmed the speculation on her website, while simultaneously denying that he was married when they began their courtship. "This is the first and last time I will comment on the details of my relationship with Simon," she wrote at the time. "Contrary to reports and headlines in the press today, Simon is divorced and has been for 4 years. Everyone in our lives separately and together wish us nothing but the best, and vice versa. These are the facts." (The businessman was married to fashion stylist Clary Fisher from 2004 to 2008.)

The English songstress' 25 was released in November 2015. The album was arguably her most positive, as it featured more upbeat tracks about finding love rather than losing it. Even with breakup songs such as "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)," Adele sang about moving on from the hurt: "We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts / We both know we ain't kids no more."

Adele and Konecki were separated by April 2019, but red flags started to show months prior. According to property records obtained by Us, Adele gave her Los Angeles home to her estranged husband two months before announcing their split.

Adele officially filed for divorce from Konecki in September 2019. A source previously told Us that "their relationship evolved and they became more like friends than lovers." The pair also "realized the romantic love was no longer there" and that they were "disappointed" that it "didn't work out."

Us exclusively confirmed in January 2021 that the former flames had reached a settlement nearly two years after the "Chasing Pavements" singer submitted the paperwork to end her marriage. At the time, the pair chose to determine rights to community property and debts through mediation.

March 2021

A judge signed off on the duo's divorce two months after they reached their settlement. Adele and her ex each represented themselves in the case. Documents obtained by Us later that month revealed that the British singer and Konecki waived "the right to seek or obtain any spousal support from the other party" and agreed to joint legal and physical custody of Angelo.
