LONDON: British singer Adele is reportedly furious after a number of personal photographs were stolen by a hacker and posted online. The major security breach occurred after her boyfriend Simon Konecki’s email was allegedly hacked into.

Photos of her five-month ultrasound scan, a selfie of the superstar while pregnant, and a touching image of her then-newborn son Angelo swaddled in blankets are said to have been circulated on Facebook after a fan posted them online, reported Daily Telegraph.

Another image stolen is from Adele’s childhood, which shows her at the bottom of a slide, sticking her tongue out, as well as a more recent photo of the singer lying on a bed with a champagne bottle and a cigarette.

The 27-year-old singer is incredibly protective about her family, including her three-year-old son, which makes the leak of her personal photos even more upsetting for the star.

A representative for Adele is yet to comment and it appears the leaked photos have since been taken down from Facebook.
