After months away from the spotlight, singer Adele made a rare appearance July 5 at the Formula One British Grand Prix in Silverstone, where she was joined by her 13-year-old son, Angelo.
“So, my son is really into karting and things like that,” the Grammy-winning superstar told F1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri at the McLaren Racing headquarters, per the Daily Mail.
“I don’t know many teenagers who have a passion so I’m really trying to encourage it. He’s obsessed but I’m also obsessed,” the “Skyfall” singer said of her shared interest with Angelo, whom she shares with ex-husband Simon Konecki.
“And I don’t think I ever expected to bond with my soon-to-be 14-year-old son about something so passionately where we like argue about drivers. But it’s fun to have that interaction with a teenage boy in 2026, I wasn’t expecting it.”
The appearance attracted plenty of attention, but instead of focusing on Adele’s support for racing, or her mother-son outing, many social media users fixated on the 38-year-old’s face, weight and age, reviving the same conversation she has spent years trying to move past.
