Adele Announces Engagement to Sports Agent Rich Paul

Pop superstar Adele has revealed she is engaged to sports agent Rich Paul, after three years of dating. The announcement came during her concert in Munich, where she is currently performing a month-long residency.

While interacting with a fan holding a sign that read “Will you marry me?”, Adele playfully responded, “I can’t marry you, because I’m already getting married.” She then showed off a ring on her left finger, sparking cheers from the 74,000-strong audience.

The couple, who began dating in 2021, has kept their relationship relatively private. Paul, a renowned sports agent representing basketball stars such as LeBron James, first publicly acknowledged their relationship in a New Yorker profile where he described spending time with "a major pop star". Their first public appearance together was at Game 5 of the NBA Finals in Phoenix two months later.

Adele has spoken openly about her happiness with Paul, describing him as "hilarious" and "very smart" in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. She shared that she is experiencing a new level of self-love and is open to a loving relationship, a sentiment reflected in her latest album, "30".

Speculation about a potential engagement surfaced in 2022 when Adele was seen sporting a diamond ring on her left finger at the BRIT Awards. However, she remained coy about the rumours, stating on The Graham Norton Show, "As if I would ever tell anyone if I was or wasn’t."

Adele was previously married to Simon Konecki, with whom she shares her son, Angelo. Her divorce from Konecki, the subject of her critically acclaimed album "30", explored themes of healing and navigating a new chapter in her life.

With this latest chapter in her life, fans are eagerly awaiting further details about the upcoming wedding and what this exciting new phase holds for the globally acclaimed singer.
