Singer Adele has opened up about the breakdown of her marriage in a candid new interview. The 33-year-old singer spoke of her divorce during a chat to Vogue, after making history as the first person to star on the cover of both the British and American versions of the fashion magazine.

Adele said she wanted to make her new music for her son, in order to explain to him why she left his father in “pursuit of her own happiness”.

The Skyfall songstress is mum to Angelo, nine, who she shares with ex husband Simon Konecki, 47.

The couple reportedly separated in April 2019, however, the mum-of-one did tell the publication that the press have the timeline of her marriage all wrong.

She hopes her firstborn will be able to listen to the tracks when he is in his 20s or 30s and understand her actions better.

She made her comments while revealing some of the questions that Angelo had surrounding the breakdown of his parents’ marriage.

“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?'” she told American Vogue.

He also asked “Why don’t you love my dad anymore?” the performer went on to say, before sharing her reply to her son.

“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 continued.
