Adele parents: Meet Penny Susan Adkins

Her daughter describes her as a “hippie mum.” Penny was a former art student who dropped out of college to raise Adele after falling pregnant unexpectedly at the age of 18. Adele claims to have “She became pregnant with me just as she was about to apply to university, but she opted to have me instead.

She never ever brings it up. I attempt to recall it.” Adele has called Penny her “best friend” and attributes most of her success to her. Their closeness is said to be the result of Adele’s father, Mark, departing the family when she was just three years old.

Penny Adkins was born in 1968 to John and Doreen Adkins. Penny was the youngest of five children and grew up in Islington.

Kim and Anita are her two older sisters, and Gary and John Anthony are her two older brothers.  Penny was “thrown out” by her parents at the age of 18 to acquire a sense of independence, according to her mother, Doreen.

Mark Evans

In 1962, Mark Evans was born in Wales to John and Rose Evans. He grew up in Penarth with his younger brother Richard.

Mark was a choirboy in his youth, which sparked an interest in a career in acting; nonetheless, he finally attended a technical college in Llandaff, where he was formally qualified as a plumber before joining his father’s plumbing business.

Mark ultimately proposed to Penny, but she declined, claiming they were too young. Regardless, they stayed together and moved into a flat where Penny and Adele would live for the next nine years.

Mark and Penny had divorced by the time Adele was 9 months old, but they stayed on good terms since she and Adele frequently visited Mark and his family.

When Mark was financially sufficient, he continued to provide for Penny and Adele, and his father gave Penny a monthly stipend to help her.

Mark has moved back to Wales by the time Adele was three, further estranged himself from Adele and Penny.

Meanwhile, Penny had developed a relationship with a man named Simon, who would eventually become Adele’s stepfather.

In 1997, Adele and Penny moved to Brighton. Two years later, the mother and daughter returned to Brixton; however, after Penny and Simon separated, the mother and daughter moved to the neighboring district West Norwood, in south London, in 2002.
