Adele has confirmed that she has married her Simon Konecki, her long-time partner and father of her four-year-old son Angelo.

The singer made the revelation during a concert in Brisbane, Australia after much speculation about her marital status since she was pictured wearing a wedding band.

The 28-year-old had also referred to her "husband" during an acceptance speech at the Grammys awards last month.

In video shared on social media, Adele confirmed she has tied the knot on stage as she spoke about her worldwide smash hit Someone Like You.

She said: "That feeling, when you first meet someone and everything about you just feels alive for the first time. I wanted to go back to that. And that was what the song was about."

"Obviously I can't go through with those feelings because I'm married now. I've found my next person."
