Who was Adele married to from 2018 until their 2021 divorce?

Adele was married to Simon Konecki from their 2018 marriage until their divorce was finalized in 2021. Konecki is a charity entrepreneur, and the couple share a son.

Adele and Konecki began their relationship in 2011. Their family life was kept largely private, although Adele publicly discussed motherhood and the importance of raising their child. She later explained that they had actually married in 2018, correcting earlier public speculation that they had wed in 2017.

The couple separated in 2018, but the separation was not publicly confirmed until April 2019. Adele filed for divorce in September that year, and the divorce became final on 4 March 2021. This timeline is why references sometimes describe the relationship as ending in 2019 while correctly giving 2021 as the divorce year.

Adele’s album 30 drew heavily on the emotional aftermath of the marriage and its effect on family life. After the divorce, she began a relationship with sports agent Rich Paul, who is not her former husband and is therefore a common mix-up in questions about her personal life.
