Adele - Career despite pregnancy
Adele (35) became a mother at the height of her career. It could have been a "career suicide", the singer said on Thursday in her speech at the entertainment gala of "The Hollywood Reporter". There, she won "The Sherry Lansing Leadership" award and reminisced in her acceptance speech.
Pregnant at the peak
The 35-year-old spoke about her path to success and revealed what pregnancy meant to her around eleven years ago: "Overnight, it was like I became famous. It was the strangest and most surreal experience of my life to this day," says the singer. Being pregnant at that time "would have been career suicide for many - and was seen as such", she said.
Adele swims against the tide
However, she has realized that she doesn't have to choose: "I can perhaps be a hit both on and off the stage". The "Rolling in the Deep" singer is proud of the fact that she has managed both and continues to do so today. She thanked "all the sacrifices women have made before me" for making her success possible.
The Grammy winner has been with sports agent Rich Paul (41) since 2021. Her son Angelo is the result of her relationship with ex-husband Simon Konecki (49).
