So much for Adele and Simon Konecki‘s divorce agreement being kept confidential. One week after a judge signed off, their settlement was unsealed and published by TMZ.
There’s nothing shocking to be found. They settled the end of their marriage like two, mature adults. Adele and Konecki will share custody of their eight-year-old son, Angelo. Neither asked for spousal support, even though Adele is clearly the bread winner.
The couple separated two years ago. A friend said the marriage grew cold and “They became more like friends than lovers. She realized the romantic love was no longer there.” (TMZ)

Harry Styles earned the prestigious opening slot at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards.

The Recording Academy nominated Harry Styles in three categories: Best Pop Solo Performance for “Watermelon Sugar,” Best Pop Vocal Album for Fine Line and Best Music Video for “Adore You.” (Variety)
