Simon Konecki Appearance

Personal Life

Simon Konecki was married to Clary Fisher, a fashion stylist, in 2004, and they share a daughter. However, their relationship didn't work out due to the reported reason of Simon being associated with Adele, The Sun confirms, and they ended their wedding in 2008.

On the other hand, Adele doesn't confirm the rumors and says that she met Simon when he was already divorced. The couple began dating in 2011 and welcomed their son, Angelo, in October the next year. The Sun reports that they tied the knot in a private wedding ceremony in 2017. There were rumors that they both had a tough time together and parted ways long before Adele applied for a divorce.

Divorce Settlement

It was in 2019 when Adele filed the divorce application. One of the richest singer's representatives, Benny Tarantini and Carl Fysh, informed about the couple's split to The Associated Press that, "They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment," which isn't a weird thing because Adele usually keeps her personal life low-key.

Adele requested the court to keep the proceedings secret, and wherever the financial disclosures will be needed, a non-disclosure agreement will be in place. However, it is reported that the divorce cost her half of her fortune ($180 to $190 Million) at the time. Furthermore, she reportedly gifted a $7.28 home to Simon in Beverly Hills.

Their multi-million dollar divorce became the talk of the town because they didn't have a prenup in place. Despite the divorce, the duo decided to raise their kid together and share Angelo's custody. They share quite a bond as Simon lived just right across the street in a house that his now-ex purchased for him in LA. In 2022, Angelo's mother listed her house for sale in 2022.

When asked for the reason for their split, the Easy On Me singer responded, "I didn't really know myself," she told the magazine. "I thought I did. I don't know if it was because my Saturn return or if it was because I was well and truly sort of heading into my 30s, but I just didn't like who I was. I didn't really know myself. I thought I did. But I just didn't like who I was." She emphasized, "Neither of us hurt each other or anything like that."

Their divorce proceedings began in 2020 and it was finalized in March 2021. It is believed that Konecki got near about $140K in the settlement.
