Is Adele engaged to Rich Paul?

Adele, who went Instagram official with Rich Paul in September 2021, rocked a dazzling ring that quickly got the eye of the social media users. The 33-year-old Academy Award-winning crooner looked drop-dead gorgeous in a pear-shaped diamond from Lorraine Schwartz. She teamed up the ring with glittering diamond earrings. Speaking of her stunning outfit, Adele donned a custom Giorgio Armani Privé dress to the event. The singer-songwriter might have created a lot of buzz with her massive sparkler but no official comment from her rep was shared on engagement rumors.

When did Adele start dating Rich Paul?

The two first met at a party a few years ago but Adele and Rich Paul first sparked dating rumors in July 2021 after they were spotted together at the courtside of a basketball match. The dating rumors between the two sparked after ESPN’s Brian Windhorst referred to Adele as Paul’s “girlfriend” in his podcast. She then accompanied Paul to NBA star Anthony Davis and Marlen P's wedding in Los Angeles in September 2021. She also shared an Instagram post making the relationship official.  
 
In October 2021, she told Vogue how she bumped into Rich Paul saying, “Rich just incredibly arrived. I don't feel anxious or nervous or frazzled. It's quite the opposite. It's wild." In the interview, she spilled the beans that she first met Paul at a party while “a bit drunk” joking, “Do you want to sign me? I'm an athlete now." In November 2021, they were spotted on a date night. Soon, their break-up rumors got the Internet talking. A few sources earlier spilled the beans that it was the singer’s apparent diva attitude and weird demands that led to the cancellation of her Las Vegas residency. It was later reported that the singer pulled the plug on her concert due to ongoing issues with her boyfriend Rich Paul. An insider on the same stated, "There's trouble in paradise. That's why she can't perform." However, shutting down the gossipmongers, she tweeted while also teasing her performance at the BRIT Awards. "Hiya, so I'm really happy to say that I am performing at the Brits next week!! Anddddd I'll also be popping in to see Graham for a chat on the couch while I'm in town too! I'm looking forward to it!" she wrote before adding, "Oh, and Rich sends his love."
