Adele surprised fans when she thanked her “husband” during her BRIT Awards acceptance speech last week.

But it wasn’t just the fans who saw their eyebrows raise with the shock announcement – some of her family were just as surprised she had tied the knot.

Speculation that the 28-year-old Rolling In The Deep singer had married her partner Simon Konecki had swirled at Christmas with the suggestion they wed in Los Angeles.

But Adele didn’t confirm this until she thanked Simon, 42, as her hubby during the BRITs – and now some family members have come forth to say they are ‘disappointed’ they weren’t part of the ceremony.

“Adele and Simon have a big family but some of those closest to them weren’t aware of any impending wedding and were shocked to hear one might have gone ahead,” a source told the Mirror.

"They feel disappointed if it’s true. They understand they’re a private couple but are surprised to see them potentially cut out their loved ones,” the source added.

Adele and Simon have a four-year-old son called Angelo together.

It is believed the couple may have become a Mr and Mrs in December last year – as Adele was spotted around Los Angeles seemingly sporting a wedding ring at the end of the year.

During the 2017 BRIT Awards in London, Adele was crowned winner of the prestigious Global Success award, presented to her by Naomi Campbell and Jonathan Ross - but her acceptance speech came via video as she was Down Under at the time of the awards.
