The world's most private celebrity child, Angelo James Adkins, is now a teenager, and his life remains a fascinating blend of extreme privacy and subtle public shout-outs from his superstar mother, Adele. Born in 2012, Angelo has been the primary focus of Adele's life and career decisions, a fact she has openly discussed during her recent Las Vegas residency and her album releases. As of this current date, December 2025, Angelo is 13 years old, navigating his teenage years in Los Angeles with a mother who is fiercely protective of his anonymity while building a new, public blended family with her fiancé, sports agent Rich Paul.
This article dives deep into the most recent, confirmed details about Angelo's life, from his pivotal role in the creation of the album 30 to his relationship with his father, Simon Konecki, and his new life within the blended family unit. Despite his mother's fame, Angelo's life is surprisingly grounded, thanks to Adele's dedication to giving him a normal childhood.
Angelo James Adkins/Konecki: A Complete Biography

The Blended Family Life with Rich Paul and His Siblings
The most significant recent update in Angelo's life revolves around his mother's relationship with her fiancé, prominent sports agent Rich Paul. The couple, who have been publicly linked since 2021, have formed a tight-knit, blended family in Los Angeles.
Adele confirmed in 2024 that she and Rich Paul were engaged, an announcement that further solidified the stable family structure Angelo is now a part of.
Rich Paul has three older children from a previous relationship, though they are kept entirely out of the public spotlight, much like Angelo himself. Adele has spoken warmly about the dynamics of this family, noting that their children, including Angelo, are all part of the same unit now. This focus on family is a major reason Adele has scaled back on traditional touring.
During her "Weekends with Adele" Las Vegas residency, which concluded in early 2024, the singer made a special dedication to her son and Rich Paul, thanking them for allowing her to be present in their lives while working. She specifically chose the residency format—staying in one place—to prioritize her son's daily life, school, and routine, stating she "f---ing hate[s] touring" because it takes her away from him.
Why Angelo Was the Muse for Adele's Album 30
The entire concept and emotional core of Adele's 2021 album, 30, revolves around her son, Angelo. This album offers the most intimate glimpse into their relationship and the tumultuous period of her divorce from Simon Konecki.
Adele has repeatedly stated that she wrote the album as a form of therapy for herself, but primarily as an explanation for her son. She wanted him to understand, as an adult, why she chose to "dismantle his life" by ending the marriage. The album contains voice notes of conversations between Adele and a young Angelo, providing a raw, unprecedented look at how the divorce affected him.
The lead single, "Easy on Me," is essentially a plea to Angelo and others to be patient with her as she navigated the difficult decision to separate. The record serves as a powerful testament to her commitment to honest, open communication with her child, even at a young age.
School Life, Interests, and The Quest for a Normal Childhood
Despite being the child of one of the world's most famous singers, Angelo's day-to-day life is intentionally normal. The family is based in Los Angeles, where he attends school, and Adele is known to be an extremely hands-on parent.
Sources close to the singer confirm that Adele is "very involved" with his school, attending functions and prioritizing her "mom life" above almost all else. She has managed to successfully shield him from the chaos of celebrity, with little to no issues arising from her fame in his school environment.
While specific current interests are kept private, Adele has previously shared anecdotes about his hobbies. She once mentioned that Angelo was "obsessed" with the artist Billie Eilish, going so far as to read all her lyrics after school. This small detail provides a rare peek into the typical interests of a child his age.
The singer's dedication to his privacy has been unwavering since his birth in 2012. She has consistently fought to ensure he can grow up without the constant intrusion of the media, allowing him to develop a sense of self away from the glare of the spotlight. This ongoing commitment to his well-being is the foundation of their entire family dynamic, now including Rich Paul and his children, making Angelo a well-adjusted and loved teenager at the heart of a very famous world.
