Adele's divorce has been finalized and the details revealed. The British singer and her now ex-husband, Simon Konecki, will share custody of their 8-year-old son, Angelo. She will also not be paying child support.
Court documents obtained by The Associated Press Wednesday show that both have waived the right to seek spousal support. Furthermore, they have agreed to joint legal and physical custody of Angelo. According to the report, the couple reached the terms of their split amicably through mediation and would address any future issues without litigation.
Adele and Konecki tied the knot in a secret ceremony in 2017, after dating for several years. They announced their split in April 2019 and Adele filed for divorce in September that year.
"Adele and her partner have separated," a rep confirmed to Associated Press at the time. "They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment."
Sources speaking with People predicted that the couple would likely keep the divorce proceedings clean.
"Adele’s son is everything to her. Her whole life revolves around him," an insider said. "I just can’t see her divorce getting messy because she’s so careful when it comes to her son. She’s always five steps ahead in terms of how a decision will affect him."
A source later shared with E! why the couple decided to split.
"They had a lot in common early on, but eventually they just grew apart," the insider said. "She became a bigger and bigger star, and he was okay [with] being in the background, but as she got bigger and had massive tours and intense schedules, they just grew apart."
