Adele In her OWN WORDS

AHEAD OF HER NEW ALBUM’S RELEASE, THE SINGER OPENS UP ABOUT HER WEIGHT LOSS, DIVORCE AND FINDING LOVE AGAIN

She’s been through a huge amount of change in recent years, going through a painful divorce, losing over 45kg, and finding love again – and now Adele has finally opened up about it all in her first interview in five years with both British and US Vogue.

While the 33-year-old has kept a relatively low profile for the past few years, her incredible weight loss hasn’t gone unnoticed. Adele dropped over 45kg over two years, but she insists it was never about the weight. “It was because of my anxiety,” she explained to Vogue. “Working out, I would just feel better. It was never about losing weight, it was always about becoming strong and giving myself as much time every day without my phone.”

Although she’s previously confessed to “hating” the gym, Adele admitted she “got quite addicted to it”. “I work out two or three times a day,” she shared. “So I do my weights in the morning, then I normally hike or I box in the afternoon, and then I go and do my cardio at night.”

But the star admits that while she feels incredible, the downside of it all was hearing other women make “brutal comments” about her changing appearance. “I understand why some women especially were hurt,” she confessed. “Visually I represented a lot of women. But I’m still the same person.”
