Adele Opens Up About 45kg Weight Loss And Motherhood

After years of silence, Adele has finally said hello from the other side of her incredible weight loss and heartbreaking divorce.

The 33-year-old singer gave an insight into the past few years of her life in a powerful interview and photoshoot, ahead of the release of her fourth album next month. In the interview with Vogue, Adele details her gruelling workout routine, explaining she works out two to three times a day.

She also reveals how her son Angelo is coping with her 2019 divorce from Simon Konecki. “I was just going through the motions and I wasn’t happy,” she told the publication. “Neither of us did anything wrong. Neither of us hurt each other or anything like that. It was just: I want my son to see me really love, and be loved. It’s really important to me.”

She explains that her ex-husband lives across the street, and they share custody of their son. They even hold regular movie nights together. But Adele says the healing process for her son is ongoing. “He has so many simple questions for me that I can’t answer, because I don’t know the answer.

“Like, Why can’t we still live together? That’s just not what people do when they get divorced. But why not? I’m like, I don’t … know. That’s not what society does. And: Why don’t you love my dad anymore? And I’d be like, I do love your dad. I’m just not in love. I can’t make that make sense to a nine-year-old.”

Adele’s incredible weight loss

The singer revealed that her body transformation came as a byproduct of exercising to help with her anxiety. “It was because of my anxiety. 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. I got quite addicted to it. I work out two or three times a day.”

But she says her 45kg weight loss hasn’t come without its issues, particularly the intense amount of media attention. “My body’s been objectified my entire career. It’s not just now. I understand why it’s a shock. I understand why some women especially were hurt. Visually I represented a lot of women. But I’m still the same person. The most brutal conversations were being had by other women about my body. I was very … disappointed with that. That hurt my feelings.”

Adele’s first single from her new album is due to drop next week.

It’s such a pity that people have subjected Adele to all the negative things they say. Why can’t they be happy for her that she is moving and trying to improve her life to what she would like. Good on you Adele, and you still sing beautifully.

She looks amazing. I always thought she was beautiful anyway and was surprised to learn her drastic weight loss was from extreme exercise.

She was always a beautiful person both inside and out. If the outcome of her anxiety was working out and she lost weight because of that then why complain. As she states she didn’t do it to lose weight and she’s the same person she was before the weight loss. I hate being in a world where you are judged for your weight. Thankfully we are all different. The only person who judges me about my weight is ME and that’s because the world makes us believe there is something wrong with us if we don’t weigh a certain amount.

Ahh good on her for getting active. There’s so many worse things she could have done, good on her for making a good decision.

I did the same thing, started exercising to help with anxiety which also put me off food, and lost 12kg. I was shocked ????

Women in the public eye can’t do anything without attracting criticism.

She’s gorgeous as a person inside and out. She didnt have to explain her weight loss to anyone.

  Exactly! It really is no one’s business and surely people interviewing can find more interesting things to discuss!

She is so stunning and was even before she lost the weight. She is amazing.

What she’s done is amazing and other women should see that as inspiring, not looking at a larger woman to make them feel better. Weight loss is something everyone can do if they put their mind to it.
