Adele has announced she’s engaged to Rich Paul during one of her residency gigs in Munich.
The singer is said to have been dating NBA sports agent Paul since 2021, and after over a year of engagement rumours, Adele admitted to being engaged at the show.
In a clip from the gig where she is seemingly answering questions from fans on placards, she reads out “will you marry me?” before swiftly replying “I can’t marry you because I’m already getting married” and flashing her ring to the audience.

Another said: “I love seeing good thing happen to good people esp after theyāve been through so much. Incredibly happy for Adele on getting engaged to a man who seems to be head over heels for her. Itās what she deserves.”

So is Adele engaged? Getting engaged? Getting married? Maybe? Maybe not? I mean this is Adele. What should I believe? I think the best bet is believe nothing from the cockney storyteller

Adele spoke about her relationship with Paul in an interview with ELLE last summer, where she said she’s “never been in love with anyone like this before”. She said: āIām obsessed with [Paul]. Iām just in loooove! Iām happy as Iāll ever be. I might as well be married.ā
Rich Paul and Adele attended the 2023 Grammys together, where the singer took home the award for Best Pop Solo Performance for āEasy On Meā.Ā
Adele was briefly married to charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki. Their son, Angelo, was born in 2012. The singerās most recent studio album, ’30’, delved into the aftermath of her divorce from Konecki.
NME gave Adele’s ’30’ three stars in a review. It concluded: “This devastating level of honesty means that, despite its more experimental moments, ā30ā still winds up feeling like trademark Adele, in its own way, most of the time.
“And after fair accusations of playing it safe musically in the past, itās refreshing to see the pop titan treading braver territory ā even if the hit-rate isnāt 100 per cent.”
