Adele can now add 'mummy' to her many accolades. According to an article in People Magazine, the 24-year-old British soul singer had a baby boy with partner, Simon Konecki.
Ever since she announced the news that she was pregnant to her fans, Adele has kept things pretty low-key in the public eye, that is until a recent release of the new Bond song, "Skyfall."
"I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together," she blogged on June 29. "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."
Though there were rumours that she and Konecki had secretly married, Adele dispelled the gossip via Twitter. Hopefully this will spell a happy time for the singer whose relationship with her father is complicated, to say the least.
She and Konecki have been together since the summer of 2011. Konecki, 38, already has a young daughter from a previous marriage.
Congrats to the happy couple for doing things their way, and for keeping mum about their private lives. It just goes to show that celebrities of Adele's stature can maintain some degree of privacy while still keeping a lifeline with fans through social media.
