During the interview, she spoke about her process of finding “true happiness.”

“My therapist told me that I had to sit with my little seven-year-old self. Because she was left on her own. And I needed to go sit with her and really address how I felt when I was growing up. And issues with my dad. Which I’d been avoiding,” she said, going on to explain those issues with her dad, Mark Evans, a plumber who died of cancer earlier this year, who left Adele‘s mother Penny shortly after Adele was born.

“Not being sure if someone who is supposed to love you loves you, and doesn’t prioritize you in any capacity when you’re little. You assume it and get used to it. So my relationship with men in general, my entire life, has always been: You’re going to hurt me, so I’ll hurt you first. It’s just toxic and prevents me from actually finding any happiness.”

“Sometimes, with my own son, he could talk to me in a certain way, and I shut down. With my own f–king child. I’ll take it so to heart, what he’s saying, when actually what he’s saying is, No, I don’t want to go to bed,” she continued.

She also talked about reconciling with her father before he died: “I know he loved me, and we actually got our peace before he died. When he passed, I had this sort of physical reaction. That fear left my body. My mom was incredible when my dad was at the final stages. She was there and helping.”

Adele also spoke about the reason for her divorce.
