Adele has separated from her husband Simon Konecki, a representative for the star has said.

In a statement on Friday, Benny Tarantini and Carl Fysh said: "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."

Adele gave birth to her son, Angelo, in 2012. The 30-year-old married Konecki, a charity entrepreneur, in 2016 after five years of dating.

The couple married in secret and Adele first publicly addressed the wedding during an acceptance speech at the 2017 Grammys.

Tottenham-born Adele released her debut album, 19, in 2008, which contained the songs Chasing Pavements and Hometown Glory and reached number one in the UK.
