Adele’s Son Angelo Adkins Leads a Hush-Hush Life
Like many celebrities, the Grammy Award-winning artist prefers to keep her baby boy behind closed doors. Back in 2013, Adele and her then-boyfriend Simon filed a private case against an agency called Corbis Photos UK for publishing intrusive paparazzi pictures of their kid taken during their public outings. The couple’s solicitor said The Guardian,
“It is a matter of profound sadness that many of his milestone moments, such as his first family outing and his first trip to playgroup, were photographed and published worldwide expressly against his family’s wishes. The parents’ view is that these images were of routine, everyday family occasions which the paparazzi has no right to intrude upon, profit from and file away in picture libraries for future reference and use.”
According to The Guardian, the duo won the case and received a five-figure settlement.

But why not? I’m like, I don’t fucking know. That’s not what society does. And: Why don’t you love my dad anymore? And I’d be like, I do love your dad. I’m just not in love. I can’t make that make sense to a nine-year-old.”
