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 />
