Adele and Simon Konecki ‘FINALISE their divorce after two years’

Adele and Simon Konecki have reportedly finalised their divorce nearly two years after their split. 

The Someone Like You hitmaker, 32, and charity CEO, 46, are now said to be ‘officially divorced’ after a judge signed off on the settlement on Thursday, according to US Weekly.    

It comes following reports that Adele was forced to use mediators to split up her £140 million fortune during proceedings. 

The publication claims that the singer and charity CEO submitted a ‘judgement package’ last month in which the former couple ‘opted to determine rights to community property and debts through mediation’.

Adele and Simon are said to have ‘represented themselves’ in the case.   

MailOnline has contacted Adele’s representatives for comment.

In January, it was claimed that Adele was forced to use mediators to split up her £140 million fortune during her divorce from Simon.

The singer reportedly enlisted help to manage the terms of her settlement, which was finally filed earlier that month, two years after she split from the charity CEO. 

Sources told The Sun that despite Adele and Simon’s breakup originally staying amicable, they had to use mediators to agree certain terms to their settlement. 

It’s thought a majority of the disputes stemmed from dividing up the Hello hitmaker’s £140 million ($190 million) fortune, including their impressive £34.7m ($47.4m) property portfolio, after they agreed on joint custody of their son Angelo, eight.   

A source said: ‘They made it very clear they didn’t want to set ­lawyers on each other but the process hasn’t been exactly straightforward all the same. The priority was making sure they did right by their son, Angelo.

‘The first thing they agreed on was sharing custody, and since then it has been about dividing up the rest of their marital finances fairly.

‘Fortunately they have ­managed to get there without an explosive public court case, slanging matches or scandalous claims about each other, and that gives them the best ­possible chance of ­staying on good terms in the future.’

MailOnline contacted representatives of Adele for comment at the time. 

Prior to this, it was reported by Us Weekly that Adele and Simon filed the terms of their divorce settlement with the court on Friday, January 15. 

Although Adele and Simon had finished their work to finalise the divorce at the time, a judge had to sign off on the paperwork before their marriage could officially end.   

But despite Adele’s mammoth fortune, earning £73k ($82k)-a-day in royalties alone, insiders claim there was never going to be a nasty fall-out with them over finances. 

While not quite in the same league, former Etonian Simon has his own money and is reportedly worth around £2m ($2.7m) in his own right. It has been reported they did not even sign a pre-nuptial agreement before they wed.

After becoming a foreign exchange broker, Simon invested in his self built Broker association and then built Drop4Drop, a charity which funds sustainable clean water solutions to countries that need it most.   

It has been reported that the pair, who were married for three years and together for eight, were keen to avoid a nasty ‘Hollywood style’ divorce which would ‘drag on for years.’ 

Sources previously insisted the separation was ‘unlikely’ to turn nasty. An insider told the Mail On Sunday: ‘Simon’s not like that. He’s got his own money after investing in his self built Broker association.

His only concern now is that he and Adele remain the best parents they can be to Angelo.’

In fact, it was revealed in May 2019, that Adele had splashed out on a £8.53million Beverly Hills home just feet away from her Simon’s pad in order that they can co-parent their son.

Adele began dating Simon in 2011, and in October 2012 they welcomed their son Angelo Adkins, now eight years old, before later marrying in secret in 2016.

Adele and Simon announced they were going their separate ways in April 2019, with Adele filing court documents five months later. 

Adele’s representative said in a statement in April 2019: ‘Adele and her partner have separated. They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment.’

At the time they announced their separation, a source close to the couple claimed that their relationship had changed rapidly into a platonic arrangement.

They told US Weekly at the time: ‘Their relationship evolved and they became more like friends than lovers. They realised the romantic love was no longer there. They’re disappointed, but it just didn’t work out.’  

The pair will share custody of their son Angelo, but ‘financial, sales or other confidential business information’ regarding the proceedings will not be publicly available.’
