New mother Adele has been spotted with her baby son for the first time as she jetted into Los Angeles last night.

The Rolling In The Deep hitmaker clutched her child with partner Simon Konecki to her chest and protected him from photographers with a blanket upon her arrival in the US for Golden Globe Awards, reported US magazine.

Adele, 24, has not made public the name of her son, who is born in October.

Her performance at the Golden Globes will mark her first public appearance since becoming a mother. Adele's James Bond theme Skyfall is nominated for Best Original Song at the awards.

She is rumoured to be currently working on her third studio album.
