Adele has given numerous performances in front of sizable audiences, but she acknowledged that she was uneasy the first time her son saw her perform when he was just nine years old. The singer, a loving mother, talked candidly about her son’s struggles following her divorce.
Although Adele is her well-known moniker, her full name is Adele Adkins. The vocalist is well-known for both her strong voice and her very poignant melodies. Although her admirers have followed her blossoming singing career, not much is known about her private life. But her most recent album, 30, has offered listeners a window into her personal life.

Prior to disclosing his name, Adele kept it a secret and only ever referred to her son as “little peanut.” The musician was spotted in West Hollywood in 2013 wearing a gold necklace bearing the name “Angelo.”
The media was speculating at the time whether Adele’s son had that name. She was questioned about her son’s name while backstage at the Golden Globes, where she received recognition for her singing in the James Bond score, “Skyfall.” “I am not sharing his name at this time,” she stated. I am enjoying him on my own; it is really intimate to me.
The “Someone Like You” actress talked candidly about the making of her most recent record, revealing that the most of it was devoted to her son. Adele hated herself for severing her family after divorcing Simon Konecki, the father of her son.
She recalled how “horrible” and challenging it had been to record voice memos with Angelo. A couple of them were included in her CD as well. There were more albums with songs about her son than this one. Adele stated in her 73 Questions with Vogue feature that “Remedy,” which is from her 19 album, is one of her favorite songs because it’s about him.

She acknowledged that her son occasionally felt depressed due to their separation, and she understood that the wound would take time to mend. She did, however, hope that when her son listened to her record much later in life, he would understand why she abandoned her marriage in order to pursue her happiness.
She found it difficult to respond to some of Angelo’s queries, such as why she and her husband were no longer living together. The mother disclosed that “Easy on Me,” one of the first songs she penned for the album, was her request for compassion because she had also had to make the painful decision to end a marriage.

Adele and her husband had to give their child time to adjust, so they decided to keep their divorce a secret. Adele got away with telling people that her ex-husband was in England and that she was working abroad whenever inquiries were posed.
Adele is very affectionate toward her child’s father, even after their painful separation. They remained close, she claimed, and she made the right choice in who to have a child with.

The singer of “Rolling in the Deep” acknowledged that she had made many “knee-jerk” choices, but that having a kid with Konecki was the best one she had ever made. Adele expressed her desire for additional children, despite never having the opportunity to grow her family with her ex-husband. “I work from home. As a matriarch, she said, “Having a stable life helps with my music.”
Although Adele has avoided putting her son in the spotlight, he did see her play live once. At nine years old, he was sitting in the audience during one of the crooner’s special “Adele One Night Only” concerts.
The Special Performance by Adele
The Grammy Award-winning vocalist talked candidly about her first-ever performance in front of her kid. She tweeted, “It was also the first time my son saw me perform, and I’ve never been so nervous!!” on the evening of the “Adele One Night Only” special. I’m hoping you enjoy it. The singer was nervous to play songs from the album that were dedicated to her son.
Amidst her star-studded audience, Adele paused her performance to inform everyone that her son was witnessing her performance for the first time. “It is the greatest honor of my life,” she said, complimenting him on his good looks.
The singer and her son have a very tight bond. Without holding anything back, she revealed that her ex-husband and kid saved her life when asked what it meant for Konecki to enter her life. Adele maintained that she still had a great deal of affection for Konecki even if they were no longer together.
She was moved to tears when performing, and it wasn’t only her son. Adele saw the physician who delivered her baby in the audience during her most recent show in Las Vegas. The artist stopped singing and walked over to give the man an embrace, clearly shocked and appreciative.

Adele disclosed that her child had been asked about her at school as her career took off. She related a story about a group of girls chasing after Angelo and asking him if Adele was his mother. She did admit, though, that her kid felt like he was being tormented because he did not know her as Adele. He wasn’t, his mother reassured him.
The mother and boy are getting used to their new life in the United States. Although they both still had British accents, the “Easy on Me” singer claimed that her son was starting to speak more fluently than she did.

The singer added that the majority of her grocery runs are comprised of snacks like string cheese and milkshakes for her son. She was also spotted returning from the grocery store, where she had purchased a large amount of vegetables.
The singer’s Mastercard UK Album of the Year win was a result of the emotional work she put into her album 30, which she released. She thanked her son for being so kind to her during the trip and said how proud she was of her bravery and vulnerability in sharing something so private.
