THE SINGER’S HEARTBREAK IS WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE!
Ad Ele's Remedy New Life, New Album, New Love

When Adele announced earlier this year that she’d split with husband Simon Konecki, her fans were, of course, devastated for the British songstress.

That was until they realised a break-up would mean a whole lot of material for a new album.

“Bunch of f****** savages, 30 will be a drum’n’bass record to spite you. Chin up, eh!” she jokingly posted to Instagram, admitting her 30th year had tested her like no other.

“Thirty tried me so hard, but I’m owning it and trying my hardest to lean into it all… I’ve changed drastically in the last couple years and I’m still changing and that’s okay.”

But now, six months on from her split with businessman Simon − who’s the father to her six-year-old son Angelo and whom she secretly married in 2016 − Adele has never been happier, say sources close her.

“She’s free and spirited and feels like a new person,” a pal tells, while another insider adds, “She just seems happy being a mum and working.”

While Adele and Simon’s seven-year relationship began strongly, the pair drifted apart as the singer’s career went from strength to strength, with the pair finally realising they had little in common, aside from their son.

“As she became a bigger and bigger star, he was okay [with] being in the background,” a source says. “But when she started doing massive tours and her schedule intensified, they just grew further apart.
