The former couple have a son, Angelo, who was born in 2012.

Adele, who fiercely guards her private life, did not not confirm her union with longtime partner Konecki until 2017, when she referred to herself as a "married" woman during a concert.

She also referred to Konecki as her husband while accepting a Grammy in 2017.

Konecki is co-founder of Life water and its charity Drop4drop, which promotes global access to clean water.
