Renowned singer Adele recently shared her experiences of becoming a mother at the peak of her career, a move she described as potentially being 'career suicide'. The comments were made during her acceptance speech at The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Gala, where she was honored with the Sherry Lansing Leadership Award for her significant impact on the music industry.
Adele reflected on the success of her second album and how her decision to start a family at that time was seen as a risk by many. However, she chose to reject the notion that success requires constant relevance and embraced the belief that she could be successful both professionally and personally.
The singer also acknowledged the sacrifices made by women before her, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to be a 'boss' at work and at home. She credited these women for paving the way for female artists like herself.
In addition to her career, Adele shared anecdotes about her life as a mom, including cooking for her son's school. She revealed that her son and his friends are unaware of her celebrity status, showing a separation between her public and private life.
Adele also hinted at her personal life, mentioning that she is currently dating sports agent Rich Paul and they both have plans to have children together in the future. She also seemingly confirmed her marriage to Paul during a comedy show.
Despite not considering herself a motivational speaker, Adele admitted to possessing the 'gift of the gab', showcasing her ability to engage and inspire through her words as well as her music.
