Although Simon and Adele have split, they remain on good terms.
In an interview with , discussing the time before the divorce, Adele revealed: "I was just going through the motions and I wasn't happy,"
"Neither of us did anything wrong. Neither of us hurt each other or anything like that. It was just: I want my son to see me really love, and be loved. It's really important to me."
She went on to explain that she was just unhappy in her relationship and didn't want to end up “miserable” - which she admitted she could see herself being if she didn’t end the relationship.
"If I can reach the reason why I left, which was the pursuit of my own happiness," she explained.
How did Angelo inspire Adele's album 30?
While promoting her fourth album 30, Adele opened up about how her son found the split “difficult."
The Easy On Me singer told Vogue: “If I can find that happiness and he sees me in that happiness, then maybe I'll be able to forgive myself for it."
She began writing the album as a way to open up to her son Angelo about his parents' divorce.
"He has so many simple questions for me that I can't answer, because I don't know the answer.
"Like, 'Why can't we still live together?' That's just not what people do when they get divorced. But why not? I'm like, I don't f***ing know."
She added: "That's not what society does and, 'Why don't you love my dad anymore?'
"'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."
