Adele expecting a child with boyfriend Simon Konecki

Adele at the BRIT Awards 2012.

Pregnancy news! Sultry singer Adele and her boyfriend Simon Konecki are expecting.

The 24-year-old Brit took to her website to announce the exciting news to fans.

“I’m delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together,” Adele wrote Friday afternoon. “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.”

The couple has been dating since 2011. Konecki, 36, is the co-founder of bottled water company Life Water and also runs the company’s charity Drop4Drop.

Rumors of the couple’s engagement circulated in February after what looked like an engagement ring was spotted on Adele’s left finger. Later in May, she announced on Twitter that the two were not engaged.
