Adele Admits She Misses Being Married And Is 'Open' To Doing It All Again

Published December 6, 2021

Over the past couple of years, even more eyes than usual have been on Adele.

This surge in attention took hold once it was clear that she and Simon Konecki would divorce after spending eight years together. And it didn't take fans long to notice how well she had been doing in the aftermath of that divorce as she both appeared perkier than before and underwent a significant physical transformation.

And since that divorce made up a big part of the subject matter for her most recent album 30, it's understandable that it would still be on her mind this year as well.

But while the most recent events of her life might give the impression that Adele has come out of marriage with a new appreciation for the single life, a new interview suggests that her outlook is more complicated than that.

During a virtual appearance on SiriusXM Hits 1, Adele sat down with John Mayer, who asked her whether he should get married.

And as People reported, she replied with, "Yes. I think, I think it is a really incredible thing, marriage. I know that some people probably think that I wouldn't think that, you know, like I gave up on it. But yes, I think you should."

The singer continued on, saying that there was something she missed about being married.

In her words, "The feeling I had, in being married was the safest feeling I've ever had in my life. Sadly, it didn't work out. But, you know, I miss being married."

And so for that reason, she said she was "definitely open to marriage again."

She's also said in other interviews that her experiences have given the material on "30" a kinder approach to addressing a relationship's end than she would have taken earlier.

As she put it, "Before it would be you [expletive] this or you [expletive] that. I am in my 30s now and that gets me nowhere."

Instead, 30 saw the singer coming to terms with the fact that the relationship couldn't work out no matter how much those involved in it loved each other.

In her words, "It has to be respectful of each other and calm or nothing will get sorted out."
