Adele Gave Birth to a Baby Boy!

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Adele has given birth to a baby boy.

According to various reports, the singer and her partner Simon Konecki welcomed a son into the world on Friday night. This is Adele’s first child and Konecki’s second. According to a source, Adele is “ecstatic” about her son’s birth. The source also said the baby has become a muse to his mother. “The pregnancy has had a big impact on her songwriting,” the source added.
Adele’s spokesperson refused to confirm whether or not the baby had arrived. “We are not releasing a statement at this time. No comment,” said the spokesman.

Adele shocked the world when she announced her pregnancy in June. “I’m delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together,” she posted on her website. “I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we’re over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele xx”
Adele started dating Koneck last summer and they officially moved in together earlier this year. There had been marriage rumors swirling around the couple but the “Someone Like You” singer promptly shut them down. “I’m not married…Zzzzzzz,” she wrote on her Twitter page.

Adele has a lot to celebrate. In addition to becoming a new mother, she was chosen to sing the theme for the new James Bond flick, a track called “Skyfall.” According to the Daily Mail, Bond star Daniel Craig specifically requested Adele. “When Adele’s name came up I just jumped at it, I just said, ‘We have to get her,’” he said during an interview. “I just thought that she has the voice and she’s got the tone that we wanted.” Adele is also responsible for her record label’s jump in success. According to a blurb in HitFix, her label’s profits rose to $67 million due to her hit album “21.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
