Past Relationships:
Well, before settling down, she had a man in her life, Alex Sturrock. He was a fashion photographer who wanted to keep his relationship with Adele. This upset her very much and eventually led to the breakdown of their couple-dom. From summer 2008 through spring 2009 they couldn’t be missed.
According to a source “It was an intense period for them. They met through mutual friends and hit it off straight away. He shot her a few times and that was just it. They spent all their time together — and when they weren’t together they would ring each other constantly.”
“I guess it is, I guess it is.” This is coming from Adele when asked if her relationship with Konecki (her hubby) is the “ultimate love story”. Adele further adds “Being in such an amazing relationship with someone that’s so there for me and so loyal and is really part of my core now. That’s what made me write about everything I’ve ever done, because I’ve got his love.”

Facts About Adele
- When did people sit up and take note of Adele’s musical prowess? When she first sang ‘Rise’ by Gabrielle at school. It means her singing took off at a tender age. BTW, Adele’s mom made her little daughter wear a sparkly eye patch so that the young Adele would look more like a singer. How sweet!
- In the year 2011, Adele had to go for throat surgery. Put the blame on her doctor who blamed her for landing up in this situation because of her smoking habit. Point taken! Good sense prevailed into her finally in 2015, when Adele quit smoking and finally admitted it would have killed her had she pursued it.
- You know celebrities take pride in their fan-following. And Adele is no different. Her fans come from all occupations and age groups. E.g. Adele got fan mail from none other than the formal PM of UK, Gordan Brown. The purpose of PM Brown’s writing to Adele? He praised her for uplifting the spirits of the people during economic recession of Britain.
- Guess the success chart of Adele’s album named ‘21’? Well, it spent 23 weeks at the top of the album charts in the US.
- It is generally believed (call it opinion) that talented people in the business of performing arts need peace and solitude to come up with their most popular track. Adele proved it otherwise. She stated that her creativity is at peak when she has had too many to drink. Is that DRINK-o-mania? I wonder.
- Adele has a Dachshund by the name Louis Armstrong. This I guess explains her fascination for classical singers.
- The singer is a true Brit. She loves a good cup of tea and has it with two sugars.
- Book-lover and Adele? No way. At the young age of six, she stopped reading books and put her mind and energy on singing. Roald Dahl’s popular novel ‘Matilda’ was the last book Adele remembers having read.
- Talk of tattoos and Adele has 5 of them – two of them on her left wrist, both her hands have one tattoo each and there is one behind her left ear.
- She used to live in a 25-acre mansion which had 10 BEDROOMS and was worth $ 7 million! She sold it considering the fact that only 9 of the bedrooms would be used.
