There's nothing like the bond between a son and his mum.

While she's the star of one of the hottest concerts in the world right now, Adele is always focused on her 3-year-old son Angelo Konecki first. Her dedication to motherhood was crystal clear Wednesday night when she took the stage at the O2 Arena in London—with a very special milestone in mind. 

"This is the first show my baby boy's seen me do," she told the England crowd according to a fan who live-tweeted the show. 

Then, when she began to serenade her fans with one of her early hits, "Someone Like You," she had to pause to say hello to her little one. 

"I love you so much, peanut," she said while pointing into the audience. According to the Twitter user, the British beauty teared up in the process, having to direct the microphone at the audience to continue the song while she had her emotional moment.  

After giving birth to the son she shares with partner Simon Konecki, 41, in October 2012, the Oscar winner stepped out of the limelight to be a full-time mom until the end of 2015, when she released her record-breaking third studio album 25.

"My kid is more important," she said during an interview on Today. "My kid comes first, and my music comes second—and I come second."

Despite her countless accolades and young success, the 27-year-old didn't feel complete until she became a parent. 

"[He] makes me very proud of myself," she told Vogue. "When I became a parent, I felt like I was truly living. I had a purpose, where before I didn't."

While she finally feels like she has a life, she definitely isn't the leader of it. 

"All the things I really like about myself, [Angelo] brings out in me, and he's the only person that tells me no. He completely rules me," she said in Rolling Stone. "He's the boss of me."
