Adele graced the cover of ELLE’s September issue, and in her cover story, she talked a lot about her 9-year-old son Angelo, who she shares with her ex-husband, Simon Konecki.
She revealed that she’s had a bad back ever since she was a teenager, but it was made worse in 2021 when her son jumped out to scare her as she came out of the bathroom. She fell and slipped her L6, which is a pretty painful injury.
We are sure her son felt terrible. I remember when I was a kid, my brother pulled the chair out from my mother and she ended up nearly breaking her tailbone. Pranks can be dangerous, kids! Don’t let those YouTuber pranksters fool you.

In the interview, Adele also revealed that Angelo is a huge Billie Eilish fan.
He’s totally obsessed. He’ll go up to [his room] after school and read all the lyrics and then he’ll want to discuss them.
She also shared that she definitely wants more kids in the future. And if she does have more kids, it will likely be with her sports agent boyfriend Rich Paul. They have discussed getting engaged, so things appear to be quite serious between them.
Adele has been very open about her divorce from Konecki. In fact, on her fourth studio album 30, she included a “very personal” track titled, My Little Love. The song features recorded conversations between her and her son and offers a behind-the-scenes listen to Adele explaining the split to her son, who was 6-years-old at the time.
He’ll probably go through stages of hating it when he’s a teenager. But it was an important part of the puzzle I was trying to figure out of my life — not the album — so I had to include it.
