The rift between Adele and her dad runs deep--Evans, 49, walked out on his daughter and her mother when Adele was only 3 years old. However, he did manage to be a presence in her life, as Adele would spend holidays with her paternal grandparents. By the time she was a teenager, their relationship appeared to have improved. Unfortunately, in 2011--at the peak of Adele's rise to fame--he spoke to the press about their difficulties. The superstar responded with fury to what she considered a major transgression by telling Vogue in 2012 she'd "spit in his face" if she ever saw him again.
Evans claims to have gone to great lengths to reinstate himself in his daughter's life--including embarrassing pleas to her management and label staff to intervene on his behalf--but Adele has been firm in not allowing him to approach her. Evans says he has never met Konecki and he longs to build a bond with his grandson. "I'm missing out on so many of the joys of being a grandfather. Simple pleasures like taking him out for a walk in his buggy," Evans lamented to the Daily Mail.
Evans notes that his daughter maintained a good relationship with his parents and was particularly close to her grandfather before he passed away in 1999. In fact, he says he learned about her pregnancy secondhand from his own mom.
