Adele is an icon - It's hard to argue with that. And while her musical stylings have
grown over the years, so too has her personal life - and her image - evolved. Let's take
a look at Adele's head-turning transformation.
For better or for worse, a divorce can change you - and Adele is no exception to this fact.
"We start with some news about Adele. The singing superstar and her husband, Simon…"
"Konecki?"
"Konecki. Thank you. Sorry, Adele. But you don't care. You've separated."
Though it seemed for a while that Adele's heart was carefully safeguarded - after all,
she was happily married to her husband, Simon Konecki - the marriage came to an end in April
2019, when Adele officially filed for divorce. According to People magazine, this came after
five months of separation, putting an end to their seven-year relationship.
Adele's representatives said in a statement:
"Adele and her partner have separated. They are committed to raising their son together
lovingly. As always they ask for privacy."
As for how Adele processed the severance, the only clue is a post on her Instagram page,
with a sad picture of herself on the left and an empowered snap on the right. The caption?
Quote, "When you catch yourself in your feelings then remember who you are."
In other words: Boy, bye!
"Boom, boy, bye, foop. Boom! Boy! Bye! Foop!'"
When Adele turned 31 on May 5, 2019, she celebrated by making a somewhat rare update on social
media. In a post on her Instagram page, she wrote:
"30 tried me so hard but I'm owning it and trying my hardest to lean in to it all. No
matter how long we're here for life is constant and complicated at times."
Given that her partnership was dissolving, it's not surprising that she had a bit of
a rough time that year.
However, despite whatever difficulties she was dealing with, be them public or private,
Adele said that she was embracing all of the changes she was going through. She also shared
that she welcomed the future with great optimism. In the same caption, she added, quote, "31
is going to be a big ol' year and I'm going to spend it all on myself. For the first time
in a decade I'm ready to feel the world around me and look up for once."
She also implored her followers to be kind to themselves and be present in every moment.
Toward the end of 2019, regular followers of Adele on social media and on the internet
at large began to notice something different about the singer. This was especially apparent
in a post on her Instagram page, where she visibly sported a much slimmer form. And while
Adele didn't mention anything about it in the caption, she did write, quote, "I used
to cry but now I sweat" in the caption of the previous post. Could that have been a
hint?
Predictably, the internet went nuts, especially when another photo of Adele surfaced of her
leaving a gym in workout gear, courtesy of Page Six. According to a fan who says she
spoke to Adele, the diva has dropped about 100 pounds, according to People magazine.
However, Adele has yet to publicly comment as of early May 2020.
While losing weight may be something that many people strive for, one Twitter user was
quick to point out that it's not the most incredible thing Adele has ever done, given
that she's won multiple Grammy Awards, has had record-breaking album sales, and, quote,
"became a musical legend before she even turned 30."
"Well…I guess I can't argue with that. Hm."
Adele had steadily been losing weight for a while when her 32nd birthday rolled around,
but she had not yet shown the world just how stunning her transformation truly was. That
changed when she took to Instagram to say thank you to her followers for the birthday
wishes. In the caption, she wrote:
"Thank you for the birthday love. I hope you're all staying safe and sane during this crazy
time."
Adele also took the time to give a shout-out to the people who kept the world going when
the going got tough. She continued:
"I'd like to thank all of our first responders and essential workers who are keeping us safe
while risking their lives. You are truly our angels."
While Adele has always looked gorgeous throughout her life, it's clear that fitness has become
a priority for her in her 30s. Who knows what she'll take on next?
