“I was heavily pregnant when I did the vocals for ‘Skyfall,’ and it’s the only song I recorded when I was pregnant with him,” she said, adding that her “voice was a lot lower” when she sang during her pregnancy.

“He also hated it when I was singing the high notes, he’d sort of kick around inside of me,” she said of Angelo, whom she shares with ex-husband Simon Konecki.

The “Hello” singer recently shared inVoguemagazine’s November 2021 cover story that she’s had toinform her son of her musical fame.

“His jaw dropped. I got really annoyed! I was like, ‘Excuse me! This is what I do, you know?’ " said Adele, adding, “He said, ‘When we go on tour, should I have a seat next to me withTaylor Swift’s name on it for Taylor to come?’ "

The Grammy winner explained that “I’m not ‘Adele’ to him,” acknowledging that he doesn’t fully realize she’s famous.

“There were a few older girls who chased him around [at school], asking if I was his mom,” she said. “He was just like, ‘I think her name’s Adele, yeah. My mom. My mom.’ I’m not Adele to him. He felt like he was being bullied because they were annoying him. I said, ‘That’s not bullying. Just say, “Yeah, she’s my mom. She wiped my ass!” ' "
