Adele: ready to let new love get to know the real her

It looks like Adele might have found some new song-writing inspiration - in the shape of a new boyfriend.

The singer told Cosmopolitan magazine recently: “I’m seeing someone at the moment - let’s just call him Michael - and I’m hoping this time things will be different because he’s not like anyone I’ve dated in the past.

“When I was with my ex-boyfriend I totally changed. I wouldn’t turn up at meetings or go to the studio because we’d had a fight or he wanted to see me. I became ignorant and ungrateful, and I’m scared it could happen again.

“I’ve always had this wall up and I’m frightened of it coming down. With Michael, I want to let myself go and allow him to get to know the real me.”
