In a revealing interview with Rolling Stone, Adele shared her struggles with anxiety following her divorce from Simon Konecki in 2019. Despite their amicable relationship, the public scrutiny surrounding her divorce and the anticipation of her new album added to her emotional turmoil. “I was overwhelmed by a tsunami of emotions,” Adele admitted.
Reflecting on her identity during this challenging time, she confessed, “I didn’t truly know myself. I thought I did, but I was unhappy with who I was.” The added attention from the media made her feel even more vulnerable. “It devastated me. I felt embarrassed, not because anyone made me feel that way, but because I felt like I hadn’t succeeded.”
She described weeks spent in bed, battling anxiety, even while trying to reclaim joy with friends. “I knew it was going to be a rollercoaster,” she recalled. To cope, she engaged in various activities such as hiking, traveling, and even exploring a “sound bath era,” a practice believed to alleviate anxiety. “I immersed myself in anything that might help soothe me,” she explained.
Adele also channeled her emotions into her music, working on an album that reflects her journey over the past two years, including the loss of her father to cancer and her experiences as a single mother. Dating has also proven to be an adventure, especially in Los Angeles, where she quipped about the challenges of being set up on blind dates due to paparazzi.
Despite the ups and downs, she found love this year with talent agent Rich Paul, describing their relationship as “incredible, openhearted, and easy.” The best part for Adele? “I’m no longer afraid of being alone.”
