Adele is officially a mommy. The multi-Grammy winning singer and fiancé Simon Konecki have just welcomed a healthy baby boy, their first child together, various reports in the British media suggest.

Word has it that Adele gave birth on Friday and that both she and the baby are fine, resting and enjoying this special moment, the Daily Mail writes.

A rep for the singer has refused to address reports in the press, but they’re now being spread as 98% certain, so perhaps an official-official confirmation is no longer needed.

“We are not releasing a statement at this time. No comment,” Adele’s publicist told the Mail.

“Adele has reportedly given birth to a baby boy. New reports claim that the 24-year-old singer and partner Simon Konecki welcomed their child on Friday night. She is said to be ‘ecstatic’ by the baby’s arrival,” the Mail writes.

“Adele and Simon are ecstatic at their new arrival. She was over the moon that they were expecting their first child together,” an insider is quoted as saying.

The reason Adele’s publicist may have refused to release a statement is because the two have struggled ever since the onset of their romance to avoid media attention.

They did not release a statement when they got engaged and would have probably done the same with the pregnancy had it not been for the paparazzi, who could have given Adele’s secret away.

Even then they ditched the now “traditional” method of breaking the happy news (i.e. issue a press statement), with Adele making the announcement to her fans on her official webpage.

“I've got some news... I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together,” Adele wrote, as we also reported at the time.

“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,” the singer added.

Congratulations to the new parents.
