Adele and Rich Paul are officially engaged, putting an end to months of speculation that the couple had already tied the knot.
The British singer, 36, and the prominent basketball agent, 42, took this significant step in their relationship with a secret engagement in Adele’s hometown of Tottenham in North London.
Keep reading to dive into all the juicy details of their engagement, the elaborate proposal, their relationship journey, and what the future holds for this power couple!
Rich Paul’s proposal to Adele was nothing short of spectacular.
A source close to the couple revealed that Rich planned the proposal meticulously, presenting Adele with a breathtaking four-carat diamond ring.
The couple celebrated their engagement the following evening with champagne at the Chiltern Firehouse, a famous London hotspot.
Adele, thrilled to share the news, quickly informed her friends and family, who are now eagerly anticipating a grand wedding next year.
“Adele thinks it’s hilarious that fans reckon they’re already married,” the source added, highlighting the playful side of the singer.
Rumors of Adele and Rich Paul being married have swirled for quite some time.
Last year, during her best friend Alan Carr’s comedy show in Los Angeles, two audience members confirmed to Deuxmoi that Adele had claimed she was married.
One onlooker recalled, “Alan asked the crowd if anyone got married recently, and Adele shouted ‘I did’.”
This sparked a wave of speculation, but the couple remained coy about their marital status.
Rich Paul has openly discussed how he and Adele have supported each other throughout their relationship.
In an interview on CBS Mornings, he praised Adele, saying, “She’s been great, I think she would agree that we definitely helped each other. I’m in a good space, we’re in a good space. Happy. She’s superb. She’s been great for me. We’ve been great for each other.”
When asked about the marriage rumors by CBS host Gayle King, Rich played it cool, responding, “You can say whatever you want,” and emphasized that he prefers to keep his personal life private.
Adele has often referred to Rich Paul as her husband, further fueling marriage rumors .
During a Las Vegas concert in September, a fan proposed to Adele, to which she humorously responded, “You can’t marry me. I’m straight, my love , and my husband’s here tonight.”
The couple’s relationship became public in July 2021 when they were spotted sitting courtside at an NBA game.
Since then, Adele has been seen wearing a pear-shaped diamond ring on her left hand, which she previously clarified was not an engagement ring, but rather a piece of high-end jewelry she loves.
In various interviews, Adele has gushed about her relationship with Rich Paul, describing it as the easiest one she’s ever been in.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, she praised him for being hilarious and incredibly smart.
“It’s just timing,” she said. “But it’d be interesting to see what my reaction is like in general to anything that hurts me now that I feel so secure in myself, and I’m talking outside of romance as well.”
In another interview with ELLE, Adele expressed her deep love for Rich, saying, “I’ve never been in love like this. I’m obsessed with him. I definitely want more kids.”
Adele has a ten-year-old son, Angelo, from her previous marriage to Simon Konecki .
During her Las Vegas residency, she shared her desire to expand her family, saying, “I really want to be a mom again soon.”
Amid her professional commitments, there are also talks about Adele moving back to Britain after her “big break” from music.
Although she splurged on a lavish new mansion in the US, she plans to return to the UK once her residency in Las Vegas ends in November.
According to sources, Adele is a “Brit through and through,” and her assistant has already moved back to the UK to organize her return.
Rich Paul is a powerhouse in the sports world, representing NBA stars like LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Ben Simmons, and John Wall.
His net worth is estimated at $46 million, and he has negotiated over $1 billion in active deals.
Forbes listed him among the world’s top 10 most powerful sports agents in 2020, ranking him No. 9 overall and No. 2 in basketball.
Raised in Cleveland, Rich’s journey to success began with selling vintage sports jerseys from his car, making up to $10,000 a week.
His chance meeting with LeBron James at the Akron–Canton Airport in 2002 sparked a lifelong friendship and professional collaboration.
