Five times a day: Adele was in therapy after her divorce

At a concert in Las Vegas, singer Adele gives deep insights into her inner life. When she got divorced a few years ago, she made intensive use of the help of a therapist. And she is currently seeking advice from an expert again. Among other things, to be able to stand on stage.

For a long time there were only rumors about their relationship. It wasn't until 2017 that Adele officially introduced her husband Simon Konecki. Just over two years later, the marriage was over, which the singer said was difficult. During the separation phase, she went to therapy five times a day, the 34-year-old said, according to the "Daily Mail" during a performance in Las Vegas. She is now in therapy again. On the stage of the Colosseum at the Hotel Ceasar's Palace, Adele said: "I had to start again." She wanted to be in top form for the concerts in the gambling city and found an outlet for it.

Back then, after the breakup with Konecki, she used the same outlet to process her relationship problems, she said. Up to five times a day. She then got by without therapy for a few years: "I stopped feeling responsible for my own behavior and the things I say." She wants to give everything and therefore lets herself be "pepped up every week". The reason: stage fright. She was "filled with fear" before live performances, but she is currently enthusiastic about her permanent Las Vegas commitment.

With tears in her eyes, she reports on her therapy session a few days earlier, in which the concert on Friday was also specifically addressed: “I always get so emotional. I love making music, but performing live has something that I like really scares and fills me with fear." That's why she's not a fan of big tours. She just wanted to prove to herself that she could do it.

Adele had been in a relationship with Simon Konecki since 2011, and their son was born in October 2012. In April 2019, a spokeswoman for Adele announced the separation from Konecki, and the divorce became final on March 4, 2021. Adele has been in a new relationship with 40-year-old sports agent Rich Paul for the past year.
