Emeli revealed to Metro in March that she is in love with a woman, teasing that she fell in love with classical pianist Yoana when she was learning about classical music.
‘We met through music,’ she said at the time. ‘And I definitely feel happier than ever. It feels great.’
One month later, in April, Emeli said she could finally be herself after going public with her same-sex relationship.
Speaking at the National Student Pride event at the University of Westminster, she Emeli spoke proudly about falling in love with Yoana, and said it ‘just felt natural’.
‘It felt like, “wow this is the first time I’m not thinking about it, I’m not thinking about anybody else”,’ she said, according to the Mail Online.
‘This is the first time I truly feel like myself, accepted for myself, it’s the first time I felt seen by somebody on a very deep level.’
The My Kind Of Love singer was previously married to marine biologist Adam Gouraguine, with the pair tying the knot in 2012.
However, they announced their split in 2014 after two years of marriage.
