The paper reports that the pair wanted to tie the knot this month, but it was too short notice for their respective families to get over to the States where the couple are currently residing.

An insider told the publication: 'As it was such short notice people already had plans.

'Adele and Simon are very family-orientated and wanted those closest to them there on their special day so they decided to postpone getting married.'

They then added: 'A wedding is still very much on the horizon, but where and when haven't been decided yet.'

The couple, who have four-year-old Angelo together, are now reportedly planning nuptials for when they return to the UK in March - with East Sussex, where Simon grew up, thought to be a top choice for location. 

MailOnline has contacted Adele's representatives for comment.
