A representative for Adele said at the time: “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.”

They married in a secret ceremony in 2016, with Adele publicly addressing the wedding for the first time during an acceptance speech at the 2017 Grammys, where she thanked her husband.

Konecki, a former student at prestigious London private school, Eton, had a successful career as an investment banker at Lehman Brothers before opting to head to the non-profit sector in 2005.

Back in July, Adele sparked speculation that she had already moved on by attending a music festival with a “mystery man.”
