Adele has revealed she's at her happiest right now - and says her new man is "wonderful".

The Someone Like You singer made a triumphant return from vocal cord surgery at this weekend's Grammys, picking up six gongs.

And she told US Vogue: "Now I just feel really at peace. And really proud of myself. I've never fully appreciated the things that I've achieved until now.

"In fact, my entire life has changed in the last 10 weeks. I've never been so happy, and I love it."

Adele, 23, credits her 37-year-old boyfriend Simon Konecki with helping her through her recovery after surgery.

"He don't care about what I do or what other people think. He looks after me," she explained.

"If I am constantly working, my relationships fail. So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy. And then I don't know what I'll do. Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch."
