Adele Is Having A Baby!

THE superstar singer's representative confirmed on Friday that the 24-year-old is expecting a child with boyfriend Simon Konecki (38 years old). The message was posted on her official website, which crashed due to a large amount of traffic after the news was announced.

"I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. 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," she said on the website.

It's unclear how far along the British singer is.

Adele won six Grammys earlier this year for her best-selling 21 album. Though that disc was based on heartbreak, she has since found love with Konecki.

It was the highest-selling album in the first six months of this year.

ARIA's half-yearly sales chart put Adele ahead of One Direction.

Adelaide hip-hop crew Hilltop Hoods are the biggest-selling Australians of 2012 so far.
