“Adele and her partner have separated,” the singer’s representative Benny Tarantini and Carl Fysh said in a statement to the Associated Press.

Adele and Simon Konecki are said to have made the decision to go their separate ways before Christmas – amid claims he could get half her £145 million fortune, reports The Mirror.
