There is no information regarding Adele’s boyfriends or girlfriends. She seems to be a very good girl, obedient, dedicated to studying, and sharing a delightful relationship with her elder sister and brother.

That is why all the kids from this family will need to be very careful with all those love affairs.

What does Phoebe Adele Gates really look like?

It is curious that the eldest sister, Jennifer, was often mistaken for Phoebe by many media sources. Since the youngest daughter was rarely seen in public, journalists simply used pictures of Jennifer with her parents while writing about her younger sister.

The problem is aggravated by the fact that the girls look very similar and it is quite hard to tell who you are looking at if there is only one sister in a picture. However, now, when Jennifer is over 20, it has become easier for the audience to tell one girl from the other. Phoebe has fair hair, brown eyes, a charming boyish smile, and a very slim build.

It is funny, but it is a fact that some mass media used a wrong picture, one of a Hollywood actress Rachel Leigh Cook to illustrate their articles about either of the Gates sisters. It is absurd, but the habit has survived even now when pictures of both the sisters are available.
