Adele says that contrary to media reports her boyfriend Simon Konecki is 'divorced.'

The Someone Like You singer, 23, took to her official website to hit back at rumours that her new beau is a married man.

It had emerged that Simon, 38, married fashion stylist Clary Fisher in 2004 and they have a five-year-old daughter.

But Adele wanted to clarify that he was no longer with his ex-wife and she is in the clear to date him.

'This is the first and last time I will comment on the details of my relationship with Simon,' she wrote on her blog.

'Contrary to reports and headlines in the press today, Simon is divorced and has been for four years.

'Everyone in our lives separately and together wish us nothing but the best, and vice versa. These are the facts. Take care and see you all in February xx.'

Adele recently went public with her relationship after the couple took a holiday to Florida together. They were introduced by singer Ed Sheeran a couple of months ago.
