adele in her own words
She’s been through a huge amount of change in recent years, going through a painful divorce, losing over 45kg and finding love again – and now Adele has finally opened up about it all in her first interview in five years with both British and US Vogue. “I’m still the same person”- ADELE While the 33-year-old has kept a relatively low profile for the past few years, her incredible weight loss hasn’t gone unnoticed.
