The album was<br />

one of her most<br />

personal yet, where<br />

she delves into her<br />

2021 divorce from<br />

husband, Simon<br />

Konecki, whom she<br />

married in 2018.<br />

Pronouncing her name wrong all<br />

this while….<br />

Have you been pronouncing<br />

Adele’s name correctly? Apparently<br />

not everyone has, as the singer<br />

revealed the correct pronunciation,<br />

admitting that she is used to hearing<br />

different variations of her name.<br />

Adele went on to show her<br />

appreciation for one of her fans in<br />

London, who pronounced her name<br />

correctly while asking a question<br />

during a Q&A on the release of her<br />

new music video for the song ‘I Drink<br />

Wine’ from her latest album.<br />

“Love that,” she shared. “She said<br />

my name perfectly!” Adele said<br />

when the fan pronounced the name<br />

“ uh-dale “ instead of “ud-del.”<br />

“I have never ever known anyone<br />

with the name ‘Adele’ being called<br />

‘Uh-dale’ it’s always been ‘A-del,” one<br />

person wrote after many online users<br />

were left surprised about the right way<br />

to say the singer’s name.<br />

Adele, it’s an Italian name,<br />

forget British pronunciation,” a<br />

different person commented, while<br />

someone else wrote, “I’m Literally<br />

Flabbergasted.”<br />
