It was recently announced that famous singer Adele and her husband Simon Konecki have split and intend to divorce after marrying in 2016. Their assets are rumoured to be worth around £140 million, with just £800,000 being attributed to Simon.

Their relationship began in 2011 and they have one son together called Angelo who was born in 2013.

Whilst divorce proceedings themselves are private, this is certainly a case that the press will be keeping an eye on.
