Adele has filed for divorce from longtime partner Simon Konecki, five months after she announced their separation. The filing was made in California, where the 31-year-old British singer and the 45-year-old Konecki have a home, the Guardian reports. Adele and Konecki, who got married in 2016, first got together in 2011. Their son, Angelo, was born in 2012. In a statement issued after the separation, her reps said the pair "are committed to raising their son together lovingly." A source tells US Weekly that "their relationship evolved and they became more like friends than lovers." "They're disappointed, but it just didn’t work out," the insider says. (More Adele stories.)
