Great post, I've been a fan of hers since '93 and always thought Stephens was her real surname! More amazingly to me, I have actually been to one of Steve Holbrooks shows, in July/August time last year, a few months after I had shot Adele! I didn't rate him unfortunately, good job I saw him after I had met Adele, other wise I may have said something bad about him in front of her!
I knew he came from Wakefield, but never put two and two together. In fact he is back in my home town next month, he seems to be in the Bucks/Herts area on a regular basis. I did mention her brother to her, as I knew he had suggested she modeled, she said he always wants her to buy the drinks when they are out, she owes him for her career. He looks like a hairdresser, and I can definitely see a resemblance, particularly around the eyes.
As for the baby rumour, it's safe to say that is completely true. Back in March I read elsewhere of someone being told by a model called Rachel Bradder, that Adele was pregnant. Rachel was at the house at the same time as Adele was, so I know that they know each other. I didn't know it was a girl that she had had though. Adele told me she wanted to be a mum and housewife, the boyfriend ran his own clothing business in Leeds. Rachel said that Adele worked for him for a while before getting pregnant. Dunno if they are married yet, Adele said she was on good terms with her ex-husband, she lived in Colorado for a while.
