Adele Hits the Nail on the Head About Parenting: ‘It’s F**king Hard’
Adele is back in the limelight, and with her highly anticipated third album generating buzz, she recently sat down for her first interview in three years. During this time away from the spotlight, she and her partner, Jake Thompson, welcomed their son in 2012. As expected, the topic of motherhood came up, and Adele didn’t hold back. Her candid take? “It’s f***ing hard. I thought it would be a piece of cake. Everyone does it, right? How tough can it be?” She lets out a dramatic sigh, “Oh man, I had no clue. It’s challenging, but also incredible. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. He makes me act silly, keeps me feeling young, and there’s nothing quite like the grounding experience of a kid throwing a tantrum when you just want them to listen! My life used to be all about me, but now it’s all about him.”
So relatable! You think, “If she can manage this, surely I can too!” But then you find yourself wondering how on earth everyone else is so good at this parenting gig. Let’s be real: parenting is tough. It’s refreshing to see someone with such a massive platform—and every resource available—be honest about the struggles. Raising a child is universally demanding.
Those early years, when kids need your undivided attention, can be exhausting yet oddly liberating. With parenting, you quickly realize that life’s little worries fade away when you’re focused on your child. Yes, it requires immense patience and a strength you didn’t even know you had, but the rewards are absolutely worth it.
Adele shared that she left her two-year-old son, Leo, at home while she filmed the music video for her new single, “Hello,” in Toronto. The video went viral, but she revealed, “Being away from my baby was the most exhausting thing ever.” Motherhood truly is f**king hard, but at the end of the day, we all just want to be close to our little ones.
