Adele has announced that she is expecting her first child with boyfriend Simon Konecki.
The 24-year-old singer revealed the news on her website, saying she was “over the moon” to be pregnant.
“I’m delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together,” Adele wrote.
“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. Yours always, Adele xx.”
Adele has been dating Simon, 36, for one year. They made their first public appearance as a couple in January.
The singer recently told People magazine that she wanted to have three sons by the time she was 30.
“I’d better start getting on with it!” she said.
Adele announced she was taking a break from the music industry shortly after the Grammy Awards in February. She said she was planning to have four or five years off to concentrate on her relationship.
“If I am constantly working, my relationships fail,” she told US Vogue magazine.
“So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy.
“And then I don’t know what I’ll do. Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch.”
