Although Adele has said on several occasions that Simon Konecki has been the most stable relationship she’s ever had, apparently it wasn’t enough to sustain a marriage. And it is that a recent interview with Oprah, the singer revealed that it was the test of a magazine of hers that made her make the decision to divorce her ex-husband in 2019.

The 33-year-old singer was with the businessman for 8 years before separating in April 2019, and although this has already been in the news for 2 years, the story has caused a lot of interest since it is the inspiration for his new album. As if that were not enough, Adele has always been very secretive about her personal life, so any detail is always very welcome among her fans.

Speaking on the CBS special “One Night Only” with Oprah Winfrey, the star, who shares a son with Simon, Angelo Adkins, revealed that she realized she wasn’t happy in her marriage and was only “plodding along” when she made the magazine quiz.

Adele revealed that her new song “Easy On Me” and her upcoming album “30” are focused on her heartbreaking split from Simon Konecki. And while she was talking about the album with the interviewer, she also detailed what led her to finally make the decision to divorce her, revealing that it was a simple magazine of hers that she started the whole process.

She revealed that while taking a personality test in a magazine, she was faced with the question: “What is something that no one would know about you?” And it was her response that became her first red flag, as she said, “I’m really not happy. I’m not living, I’m just plodding along.”

Then he recalled the reactions of his friends: “Everyone was shocked. From there, I was like ‘What am I doing? What am I doing it for?'” he said.Last week, Adele admitted she was “fucking devastated” over her divorce from Simon after realizing she “didn’t know who I was anymore.” On the cover of Rolling Stone, the singer confessed that she had drifted so far from who she was before she got married, that she made the difficult decision to walk away from her marriage.

Adele, who recently went public with her new romance with Rich Paul, added that her single life while living in Los Angeles lasted just over ‘5 seconds’, following failed attempts by her friends to ask her out on blind dates.

She said: “I didn’t really know myself. I thought I did. I don’t know if it was because my Saturn came back or if it was because I was fine and really approaching thirty, but I just didn’t like who I was. I didn’t really know myself. myself. I thought I had. But I just didn’t like who he was.”

Reflecting on the end of her marriage, she added: “It made me really sad. So having so many people I don’t know know that I didn’t make that work. It devastated me. I was embarrassed. No one made me feel ashamed, but you feel like you didn’t make a difference. good work”.

Adele and the truncated relationship with her father

Another important milestone in Adele’s life this year, and one that she mentioned with Oprah, was her reconciliation with her late father, who abandoned her at the age of 3. The cabtabte herself confessed that she achieved closure after meeting her father, Mark Evans, in Wales before he passed away in May from bowel cancer.“The absolute lack of presence and effort from my dad… But I finally understood that it was the alcohol… It took my dad away from me,” she said through tears.

Adele told Oprah that her father’s absence when she was a child had shaped the way she navigated relationships as an adult and caused her to hurt partners as a coping mechanism to avoid hurting herself: “I hurt the first one, not maliciously, but to protect myself,” he said.

She even revealed that she felt ashamed of her separation with Simon because the same thing had happened with her father: “I take marriage very seriously and it seems that it doesn’t… That’s what it should be. When we have children, we stay together and I tried. I was so disappointed in my son, I was so disappointed in myself,” she said. “Nothing as scary as what I’ve been through in the last two years behind closed doors,” she added.
