MailOnline has contacted Adele’s representatives for comment.
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.

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.’
