Even though people are super excited after hearing the news of Adele’s divorce because
of new music, she might not be having the best time of her life after 7 years of relationship
with Simon Konecki.
The truth is that this is more complicated than an average divorce because there is a
lot of money at stake.
Stay with CurioSips to find out what are the chances that Adele will lose this battle and
how much she has to pay!
Only a few British artists can compete with Adele’s achievements in music.
At the age of 30, she has already become one of the most successful female singers in the
world thanks to her impressive voice.
Born in London, she was interested in music since childhood so in 2006 she entered the
BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology.
The same year she signed a contract with XL Recordings, which was her first label.
Later she released her first album "19" that became platinum in the US.
The real success came with her second studio album "21", in 2011, which includes her most
famous song, "Rolling in the Deep", along with other excellent tracks.
Her next release was third and final album "25", in 2015, which was very appreciated
by critics as well.
Adele’s life hasn’t only been about selling albums and gaining millions of views on YouTube.
Her ex-boyfriend, photographer Alex Sturrock, with whom she had a relationship between 2008
and 2009, was a very troublesome guy for her.
Apparently, the relationship was quite destructive for the singer, due to spending too much time
with him.
According to her, Alex was everything for her - friend, boyfriend, and everything you
can ask for.
On the other hand, Adele has confessed that she was deeply upset as Alex never addressed
her as his girlfriend while she even asked him to go on the US tour with her as her personal
photographer.
What’s more, he sued the singer, after realizing that many of the album "21" lyrics were inspired
by their relationship.
He argued that he earned that part of profits!
However, Alex Sturrock didn’t get any money.
After 4 years of failing attempts to take advantage of Adele, the photographer decided
to take revenge.
In 2016, he published a series of photos of the singer which he took during a tour.
And the trick is that the pictures he decided to publish were carefully selected in the
way to reveal the worst and most absurd singer’s moments.
He did it with the only intention to ridicule her.
That’s cheap, man!
After overcoming the disappointment with her ex-boyfriend, in 2011 Adele met Simon Konecki,
thanks to their common friend Ed Sheeran!
Simon Konecki was born in New York and moved to London at the age of 10.
He studied at the prestigious London school, Eton.
Being only 17, he became a currency broker.
Later, at 24, he started working for the finance giant, "Lehman Brothers."
But when he realized how cold-blooded the world of big financial companies can be, he
decided to give up his job.
Then, in 2005, he founded a company responsible for providing drinking water in low-income
countries.
Maybe it was that altruistic spirit that made Adele fall in love with Simon, but in 2012,
after only a year of the relationship, they had a son called Angelo.
The couple were very private, so we could spot them together on a very rare occasion
such as the Grammy awards that same year.
Although we don’t know exactly when the couple got married, allegedly they tied the
knot in 2016, after more than 5 years together.
However, it seems like the couple wasn’t that happy together as they have decided to
split.
It’s been said that they have lived separately quite for a while and they meet very rarely.
Probably the thoughts about divorce have been building up for a while.
If it’s true, it’ll a very complicated divorce, because the stake is around $185
million!
It is the whole fortune the singer has earned throughout her career and now Adele is risking
to lose half of it to her husband!
According to "The Sun", the couple didn’t sign a prenuptial agreement when getting married,
which makes things much more complicated.
In January 2019 Adele gave up their shared property in Los Angeles to Simon, and the
next month sold a house for more than $3.5!
Even though we understand how difficult divorce can be, we’re glad that Adele is not alone,
getting the support of her family and friends, especially of her great friend, Jennifer Lawrence,
with whom she was recently seen at a bachelorette party.
The singer has decided to move forward as, according to her close friends, Adele is quite
excited about starting a new relationship!
She’s so eager about it that she has even asked her friends to set her up!
Do you think it’s possible that Adele can lose half of her fortune?
Do you think she will get over it and finally find her true love?
