However, during the height of her divorce, the thirty-four-year-old singer admitted she had to attend 5 therapy sessions a day.
Scroll down for the full story!
Adele is known for her hit songs: ‘Someone Like You’, ‘Hello’, ‘Rolling In The Deep’, and most recently ‘Easy On Me’.
All of these captivated her fans right from the release date and are still on everyone’s playlist as we speak.
Her music career has gone from strength to strength, but her personal life was suffering in the midst of this, as her bitter breakup back in 2019 with her ex-husband Simon Konecki was the talk of the town…
And all her fans wanted was for their favorite singer to find love again.
The good news is she did…
Adele found love, this time in one of the world’s most polarizing figures in the sports industry…
The couple even went public with their relationship in 2021…
And since then the duo has been inseparable, attending basketball games, parties, and events together frequently.
Now, there are reports that Adele is the happiest she’s ever been…
And that makes our hearts very happy.
In an interview with Elle magazine, Adele confessed she’s “hopeful” she could have more kids in the future…
“I’m a homemaker and I’m a matriarch and a stable life helps me with my music,” the singer said.
Not only that, but Adele also explained things are going well in her relationship with Paul…
“I’ve never been in love like this,” she said.
“I’m obsessed with him,” she added.
The thirty-four-year-old singer previously expressed her feelings for Paul, as she said in an interview back in 2021 that the 2 had the most incredible, openhearted, and easiest relationship with one another.
And this is when rumors were rife that Adele may have secretly gotten engaged, but that wasn’t the case as per TMZ.
The singer also revealed that she’ll never find someone like Paul again…
And added that she’s as happy as she’ll ever be in a relationship with the sports super agent.
Since Adele was thrust into the spotlight, there has been one question on everyone’s lips…
What is Adele’s full name?
Well, fans were left surprised when they found out…
So much so that they shared the news on Twitter…
One person wrote: “I just found out Adele’s full name is Adele Laurie Blue Adkins.”
A third wrote: “I looked up what Adele’s full given name is and it’s ‘Adele Laurie Blue Adkins’. Why does that feel extremely correct?”
A fourth chimed in: “Just searched up Adele on Google and found out her real name is Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, cute.”
Although we know her as just “Adele”, the singer’s full name is evidently Adele Laurie Blue Adkins!
Reportedly, Adele’s surname is the same as her mom’s Penny Adkins, while Laurie and Blue are the singer’s middle names.
And now, the singer has revealed that people have been pronouncing her name wrong all this time.
During a Q&A posted online recently, Adele praised a London-based fan who properly pronounced her name while asking her a question about songwriting.
“Love that. She said my name perfectly!” said Adele.
Adele even said her own name for emphasis before she answered more questions to celebrate the release of her ‘I Drink Wine’ music video.
And you will be surprised to know how you actually pronounce her name…
Now, Adele has been in the headlines a lot recently…
Which is in no small part due to her incredible Las Vegas residency.
The Grammy-award winner originally scheduled the shows for January 2022, but then canceled with just twenty-four-hours notice.
The star claimed the show “wasn’t right” and “lacked intimacy.”
However, now the show is finally going ahead, Adele has once again proven herself to be one of the greats.
So much so that even other greats such as Shania Twain have come to see her play!
The fifty-seven-year-old country singer was spotted in the front row, much to Adele’s surprise.
As per The Mirror, she took to Instagram after the show to say: “Thank god you had a hat on @shaniatwain. I would have self-combusted had I seen it was you!!
“I adore you, I can’t believe you came to my show.”
Twain was joined by Adele’s partner, Rich Paul, and British rapper Stormzy in the sought-after seats.
And now, just 4 shows in, the singer has received rave reviews for her performances so far.
According to reports, in the 2-hour set with zero prerecorded tracks, Adele has impressed with her staging including the moment where she seemingly disappears into thin air at the end of the show.
But it’s one of Adele’s most recent fan interactions that has gone viral thanks to her hilarious reaction to a filter being put on her face.
Nutritionist and model Jamy G was reportedly overwhelmed when Adele picked her out for a conversation ahead of performing her hit song ‘When We Were Young’.
But Adele noticed that Jamy was wearing a Jennifer Lopez T-shirt, the confused singer said: “I love that you’ve come to my show wearing a J.Lo T-shirt, what’s this?”
Jamy held up her phone to film the once-in-a-lifetime moment, and when Adele glanced at her screen she was even more stunned by what she saw.
“Is there a filter on that?!” she said in the clip.
“Oh my god, what have you done to my face? Woah, get that filter off my face, that’s so weird!”
Trying to keep the conversation going, Adele then asked, “What’s your name?” before adding: “Why are you doing filters like that? We don’t look like that, darling.”
Jamy quietly admitted: “I know.”
Adele then asked Jamy what one of her favorite memories from childhood is, and the fan instantly begins to fight back tears.
“What’s one of your favorite memories from when you were a child? When you were young?
“Don’t cry!” Adele said before she pulls her in for a hug. “Oh baby, don’t cry… You don’t want J.Lo to see you cry!”

But now, Adele has once more become the center of attention after giving us an insight into how she felt through the height of her divorce.
Speaking to Vogue last year about the incredibly difficult time, she said she felt as though she’d “lost the plot.”
“I was just going through the motions and I wasn’t happy. Neither of us did anything wrong,” she said.
“Neither of us hurt each other or anything like that. It just wasn’t right for me anymore.
“I didn’t want to end up like a lot of other people I knew. I wasn’t miserable miserable, but I would have been miserable had I not put myself first.”
She then detailed the enormous guilt she experienced with their divorce having an impact on their son.
“I just felt like I wanted to explain to him, through this record, when he’s in his twenties or thirties, who I am and why I voluntarily chose to dismantle his entire life in the pursuit of my own happiness,” she said.
“It made him really unhappy sometimes. And that’s a real wound for me that I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to heal.”
Adele has also explained what she did to protect her mental health during the time of her divorce.
“A relationship falling apart, whether you’re married or not, it’s really difficult and it’s really traumatic,” she revealed on stage at her Vegas residency show.
“Keep your friends close to you because they’re better than any man, better than any woman. Your friends are for life.
“I started having therapy again because I went a few years without,” Adele revealed.
“I needed to start. Before, obviously, when I was going through my divorce, I was basically having 5 therapy sessions a day.
“But I stopped holding myself accountable for my own behavior and the things I would say,” she added.
“But now I am doing it because I just want to make sure I’m topping myself up every week to make sure I can give you everything.”
