Adele, the Grammy-winning singer, has seemingly confirmed that she is married to Rich Paul, the sports agent and LeBron James’ longtime friend. According to multiple reports, Adele made the announcement during a comedy show in Los Angeles on Saturday night .
Adele and Rich Paul have been dating since July 2021, when they were spotted together at the NBA Finals. Since then, they have been seen on various occasions, such as attending the Met Gala, celebrating Paul’s birthday, and having dinner with Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
However, the couple has never officially confirmed their relationship status, until now. According to People magazine, Adele referred to Paul as her “husband” while introducing him to the audience at the Peppermint Club, where she attended a comedy show featuring stars like Pete Davidson, Phoebe Robinson, and Michelle Wolf.
“She said, ‘My husband’s over there,’” a source told People. “Everyone was shocked but also very happy for her.”
Vogue and The Daily Beast also reported the same news, citing eyewitnesses who heard Adele call Paul her “husband” during the show .
Adele, who is set to release her highly anticipated fourth album, 30, on November 19, has previously been married to Simon Konecki, the father of her 9-year-old son, Angelo. The couple separated in 2019 and finalized their divorce in March 2021.
Rich Paul, who is one of the most influential sports agents in the NBA, representing stars like LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Ben Simmons, has also been married before and has three children from his previous relationship.
Adele and Rich Paul have not yet commented on the reports of their marriage, but fans are eagerly waiting for more details about their relationship and their wedding. Congratulations to the happy couple!
