Adele is a first-time mum

The Rolling in the Deep hitmaker and her boyfriend, Simon Konecki, welcomed a son on Friday night, the Daily Mail has reported.

A source told the newspaper: "Adele and Simon are ecstatic at their new arrival. She was over the moon that they were expecting their first child together."

A spokesperson for the singer has refused to confirm or deny the claims, insisting: "We are not releasing a statement at this time. No comment."

Adele, 24, began dating charity boss Konecki, 38, late last year and announced she was pregnant in a post on her website in June.

Konecki is also dad to a five-year-old daughter with his ex-wife Clary Fisher.
