Grammy Award-winning British soul diva Adele announced on Friday that she is pregnant together with her first child.
The 24-year-old, who swept this year's Grammys after the success of her second album "21", revealed the scoop on her official website, adding that she and boyfriend Simon Konecki were "over the moon".
"I'm delighted to announce that Simon and that i predict our first child together," she wrote.
"I wanted you to listen to the scoop direct from me, obviously we're over the moon and really excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time," she added. "Yours always, Adele xx".
The bubbly Londoner has reportedly been dating 36-year-old entrepreneur Konecki since last summer, and the couple went public with their relationship in January.
Konecki divorced fashion stylist Clary Fisher in 2008 after four years of marriage.
Adele's pregnancy caps an improbable year, which has seen her get better from throat surgery and "21" top the charts across the world.
She took six gongs on the Grammys in La in February, a record previously only matched by Beyonce.
Adele told the united states magazine "People" in February that she was keen to "be a mum".
I need to relax and feature a family, definitely sooner in preference to later," she said.
