Adele’s Marriage To Simon Konecki

For many months, no one really had a clue that Adele was romantically involved with anyone, the singer and Simon had been dating since the summer of 2011.

Adele and Simon have a son – Angelo James Konecki who was born on 19 October 2012.  For Adele, it’s all about family. She prioritizes her relationships over her work and had said she would pull out of any tour if her relationship with her husband or son flounders even a bit.
