Adele shares stunning picture and thanks essential workers as she celebrates her 32nd birthday

Adele has shared a stunning picture as she celebrated her 32nd birthday.

The chart-topping singer, who split from husband Simon Konecki last year, shared a post on Instagram in which she's smiling for the camera while standing outside a house along side a giant floral wreath, wearing a black, thigh-length dress.

Her LBD is available to purchase online - if you fancy splashing the cash. The star wore her hair down and completed the look with a pair of black heels.

“Thank you for the birthday love,” she wrote in the caption. “I hope you’re all staying safe and sane during this crazy time.

“I’d like to thank all of our first responders and essential workers who are keeping us safe while risking their lives! You are truly our angels.”

She added: “2020 okay bye thanks x.”

The multi Grammy and Brit award-winning superstar announced in April last year that she and Konecki had split and she filed for divorce in September, citing “irreconcilable differences”.

The couple share a son, seven-year-old Angelo.

Since finishing the tour accompanying her third album, 25, the singer has kept a low profile.

Adele has shared snaps of herself just a handful of times, most recently posting after a Christmas 2019 party.

In February, she appeared to confirm she has a new album on the way later this year.

She performed at the wedding party of her friend author Laura Dockrill and Maccabees guitarist Hugo White, and in videos uploaded by guests she said: “Expect my album in September.”

Her most recent album was the chart-topping 25 in 2015.
