She’s been through years of pain after her divorce. Now, Adele can say Hello from the other side. “It was a lot of meditation.
It was a lot of therapy – and a lot of time spent on my own,” shares the Rolling in the Deep songstress of the time she spent healing after ending her marriage to charity CEO Simon Konecki in 2018.
“I was embarrassed. I was really embarrassed. That thing of not being able to make something work. At the time it broke my heart.”
Last Friday the famously private singer released her first new single in six years, called Easy on Me – a song from her upcoming album 30 – and only now is she able to really talk about the life-shattering decision she made to leave the father of her nine-year-old son.
“I was just going through the motions and I wasn’t happy,” explains Adele, 33. “Neither of us did anything wrong. Neither of us hurt each other or anything like that. It was just, I want my son to see me really love and be loved. It’s really important to me.”
Fans of the 15-times Grammy award winner were thrilled in 2012 when Adele and Simon, whom she’d met the year before, welcomed their baby boy Angelo.
