Never got married

In 1986, Penny met Mark Evans, who is Adele‘s father, at the Kings Head pub in North London and fell in love at their first glance.

When she was only 18, she gave birth to her first and last child Adele.

So, to raise Adele, she dropped out of college and focused totally on providing proper parenthood. But Penny never got married to Mark.

However, Mark proposed her before but she denied as she felt that they were too young to get married. The couple lived together for some years.

When Adele was nine-months-old, Penny and Mark separated from each other.

However, they frequently saw each other, and even Penny used to visit Mark‘s home to maintain father and daughter relation.

They have good relations until 1999. Then afterward, he became addicted to alcohol, which became the reason for their worst relation.

Raised Adele without the support of husband

Penny was a single mother and raised her daughter alone since her birth.

When Adele was on her womb, she dropped out of university and took the shelter of an emergency house for a single mother.

She was helped by National Childbirth Trust for her living. After Adele was born, she shifted to the two-bedroom flat at Tottenham.

Until Adele was three, she used to get some financial support from Mark and his family.

Once she was in a relationship with a man called Simon, but it did not last for long.

Later, without seeking for husband and support from them, Penny struggled alone to raise her daughter.

Sometimes she worked as a furniture maker, sometimes as a masseuse while other times as an adult learning activities organizer.

Simple and intimate Wedding

Penny did not get the opportunity to have her wedding, but she witnessed her daughter’s wedding on 2017.

Penny‘s daughter, Adele, started seeing an English Charity entrepreneurSimon Konecki since 2011.

Their mutual friend, musician Ed Sheeran made their first meeting happen when she was in a break from singing due to her neck surgery.

The couple decided to have a simple and intimate wedding function.

As per capitalfm.com, Adele did not want her wedding to be formal, and show-offs instead wish to be about who they are.

So the wedding was held with the presence of family, close relatives, and friends.

The wedding information remained secret until March 2017, when she revealed her wedding while performing in concert in Brisbane, Australia.

Children

Penny has only one child, who is her daughter Adele. The relationship between mother and daughter is very profound.

Adele often called her mother her best children and gave her credit for her success.

She was Adele‘s inspiration for writing songs such as ‘Hometown Glory,’ ‘Million Years Ago‘ etc.

Adele feels lucky to have her as a mother and always wants to remember her sacrifices, although Penny never wants to make her realize about her sacrifice to give her a better life.

Her daughter is also blessed with a baby boy named Angelo Adkins, who was born on 19 October 2012.
