U2's Adam Clayton and his wife Mariana have decided to part ways amicably after a decade-long union.

In an official statement, it was noted: "After more than 10 years of marriage, musician Adam Clayton and lawyer Mariana Teixeira de Carvalho have amicably divorced."
Speaking to the Sunday World, a representative for the pair stated: "Both will continue to be fully involved in the care of their daughter and they request that the family's privacy be respected."
Adam, U2's bassist, and Mariana, a lawyer by profession, had a low-key wedding ceremony at a Dublin registry office in September 2013, following a four-year romance.
Their wedding festivities were marked by a lavish celebration with 150 guests - including Adam's U2 bandmates Bono, The Edge, and Larry - at a historic 14th-century chateau near Cannes, France, in Mandelieu-la-Napoule.
The couple welcomed their daughter Alba in July 2017, announcing her arrival with a personal advertisement in The Irish Times, which read: "Adam and Mariana Clayton are delighted to announce the birth of their beautiful baby girl Alba."
Adam, who is known for keeping his personal life under wraps, especially his love life, made a rare disclosure in June 2017. After being honoured with the Stevie Ray Vaughan Award at the MusiCares MAP Fund benefit, he shared some heartfelt words about his partner Mariana: "I was in Brazil and I met a lawyer who was smart and beautiful."
"We started dating. I got married in sobriety to Mariana.
"I didn't think that would happen. She's never seen me drinking, but she does know me crazy. Thank you, Mariana, for the wonderful life we have together and for making every day more meaningful."
Previously, Adam had been linked with a number high-profile figures, including an engagement to supermodel Naomi Campbell; the pair even graced The Late Late Show together back in 1994. He also popped the question to Suzie Smith in 2006.
Aside from his romantic endeavours, Adam is a father, having welcomed a son into the world in 2010 from a previous relationship.
