Adele Says Her Ex-Husband ‘Probably Saved My Life’ in Candid Oprah Interview
Adele is holding nothing back! The 30 songstresses got candid in her sitdown interview with Oprah Winfrey during her new Adele one night unique.
Interspersed between performances of her beloved hits and debut performances of singles off her new album at an outdoor concert outside the Griffith Observatory, the beloved singer chatted with Oprah in her famed rose garden.
The topic of Adele's high profile divorce from ex-husband Simon Kornacki played a big part in the conversation, considering the nature of Adele's music and her candidness about the pain she's felt since the split.
However, she had nothing but praise for Kontiki and the impact he's had on her.
"I think Simon probably saved my life, to be honest with you," Adele reflected. "He came at such a moment, where the stability that he and Angelo have given me, no one else would ever have been able to give me."
"Especially at that time, I was so young, and I just, I think I would have got a bit lost in all of it," she said, referring to her meteoric rise to fame. "I could have easily gone down some dodgy paths, you know? And self-destructed from being overwhelmed by all of it."
"He came in and was stable. The most stable person I've ever had in my life up until that point. Even now, I trust him with my life," she continued, adding that Konecki and their 9-year-old son Angelo are "angels sent to me; that's how I feel."
According to Adele, the hardest part of the divorce seemed to be explaining it to their young son. "
"Trying to explain to a 6-year-old, 'I do love [your dad], I'm not in love with him,' it makes no sense to a 6-year-old," she said. "
"So there were so many answers I couldn't give him 'cause there aren't any. Like, you know, that he would understand," she added.
Toward the end of the evening, Adele opened up about her newfound romance with sports agent Rich Paul, marvelling over his sense of humour.
"He's hilarious and brilliant. You know, he's very, very smart. It's quite incredible watching him do what he does," she shared. "And just the easiness of it. It's just; it's been very smooth."
The songstress explained that, with this relationship, it's the first time she's "'loved me and been open to loving and being loved by someone else."
When asked if being in a happy place in her life allows her to create powerful songs still, Adele said with a shrug, "I hope so."
