Singer Adele is pregnant

Grammy Award-winning singer Adele is pregnant with her first child. The “Chasing Pavements” and “Someone Like You” singer’s representative confirmed Friday that the 24-year-old is expecting a child with boyfriend Simon Konecki. A message was originally posted on Adele’s official website, which crashed due to a large amount of traffic after the news was announced. The message said, “I’m delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. 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.”
