Emeli Sandé Reveals Divorce News

Emeli Sandé has revealed she has separated from Adam Gouragine after just one year of marriage.

The singer, 27, and Gouraguine were childhood sweethearts. They dated for a number of years and announced their engagement in January 2012. The couple married in September of that year.

In a new interview with The Times newspaper, Sandé has now revealed that she decided file for divorce from her partner last year, just one year into their marriage.

She explained: "Everyone thought I'd gone mad. 'What do you mean a divorce? We were all at your wedding a few months ago!' But there was just something inside me that said, 'This isn't the life. You're pretending to be someone else.'

"And that's so hard to explain to someone. I can't even explain it now. I just felt I had to wake up. I'd been sleeping and things were happening. I could get up on stage and sing but, I don't know, it was just a real... I don't want to call it a breakdown, but it felt like that.

"Every day you get a bit stronger. Every day you stop blaming yourself for things. I think I spent the couple of months after not in denial, but not really dealing with what had happened."

"Adam and I had been together since I was 17," she continued. "He was my only boyfriend. That's the only person I've been with for the past 10 years.

"So [losing] our relationship more than the marriage was the big part for me to deal with.

"Having a friend who'd been my best friend for so long. Losing that support and structure in my life was the biggest thing."

She also added that she felt it was "unfair" of her to ask her partner to "fit" into her life so much, because of her busy work schedule.

"He'd come on tour then he'd go away for three months on a marine biology expedition somewhere," she said. "When we caught up it was great and we could tell each other stories, but it was almost like we were living our lives away from each other and growing into different people.

"And as soon as I got some rest and the madness stopped and I had a bit of a holiday, I was like, 'OK, let's see, what's been going on.'

"There were just lots of things. And stuff that just wasn't... we were mates, but maybe we shouldn't have been married."
