Adele and Rich Paul engaged! Singer, 34, is all set to wed sports agent, 41, in summer of 2023: Source
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Adele is reportedly finally engaged to Rich Paul. The singer, 34, and her sports agent boyfriend, 41, are apparently planning to tie the knot in the summer on 2023, two years after going public with their relationship. They are reportedly set to take their holy vows after Adele finishes her Las Vegas residency.
Adele notably fueled rumors of an engagement by flaunting a huge diamond ring on her wedding finger at her latest Las Vegas show over the weekend. The 'Set Fire To The Rain' hitmaker, however, has been wearing the ornament since as early as last February when she debuted the sparkler at the BRIT Awards in 2022. The ring led many to believe the doting couple had actually been engaged for at least a year, but they have never officially confirmed this. The engagement news was reported by the online gossip site Deux Moi, which cited a "very reliable source" for the claim.

'I love him more than life itself'
As reported by the Daily Mail, Adele and Rich were last spotted in public together at the Super Bowl earlier this month in February 2023. Before this, the couple was seen getting cozy as they posed for photographs at the Grammy Awards. It's worth noting that Adele tends to keep her private life out of the public eye, but has been rather candid in declaring her love for Rich. In December, the artiste dedicated a song to him during one of her Vegas shows, singing 'Happy Birthday' to him during her set. "And I love him more than life itself, so can we wish him a happy birthday? His name's Rich!" she gushed at the time.
Adele has been busy performing back-to-back shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for her 'Weekends With Adele' residency, which commenced in November. She revealed in an Elle interview in August that her dream was to be a "homemaker" as she revealed her plans for marriage and children with beau Rich. She said she will dedicate her life to her family after the Vegas gig, noting she's "happy as I'll ever be" in a rare public display of affection. The legendary singer first met the multi-millionaire sports agent at a party a couple of years ago and took their relationship public in the summer of 2021. Adele was previously married to charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki, with whom she shares a nine-year-old son Angelo. They wed in 2018 but separated later that year.
'I might as well be married'
"I've never been in love like this," Adele gushed to Elle about her relationship with Rich. "I'm obsessed with him. I definitely want more kids. I'm a homemaker and I'm a matriarch, and a stable life helps me with my music. But right now, all I got in my brain is Vegas. I wanna f**king nail it." The 'Easy On Me' hitmaker, however, remained coy about rumors of them being engaged, albeit she told the magazine she "absolutely" wants to get married again. "Well! Well. Well, I'm not married" she said when asked if the ring she'd been wearing recently was an engagement diamond. "I'm just in love! I'm happy as I'll ever be. I might as well be married," she quipped, later adding, "I'm not engaged. I just love high-end jewelry, boy!"
