Adele discusses divorce, single parenting on the Oprah Show, says "it's a process"

Record-breaking singer-artist Adele is all set and ready to release her new album '30' and has been marketing for it in full swing.

Last she was spotted at the Oprah Winfrey Show, where she not only opens up about her divorce with ex-husband Simon Konecki, but also discusses the woes of being a single parent. The singer sat in the same place where several months back, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made some of the biggest revelations pertaining to the British Royal Family.

The struggle of being a single parent

As far as single parenting goes, only those who have an experience with it will know how tough the journey is.

In the interview with Oprah Winfrey, Adele did not shy away from telling her truth. She spoke about her struggles as a single parent, the need to be the best at her game, for her kid.

“It’s a process: the process of a divorce, the process of being a single parent, the process of not seeing your child every single day wasn’t really a plan that I had when I became a mum,” Adele said.

“The process of arriving for yourself every single day, turning up for yourself every single day."

“And still running a home, running a business so many people know what I’m talking about and I feel like that as well, I juggled those things as well. And I felt like not doing it any more,” she added

Juggling parenting and career

The 33-year-old is a popular singer-songwriter who has crafted several soul-touching songs. While her fame and fandom is huge, it seems as though the nature of the singer's life is quite ordinary.

Opening up about her divorce and life as a single parent, Adele mentions how she had to still run a home, run a business, juggling her work and parenting, all at the same time. "It was just exhausting trying to keep going with it," she said.

Adele is currently the mother of 9-year-old son, Angelo Adkins.
