Adele has reportedly confirmed her second marriage to her partner, Rich Paul, according to online reports. Speculations about their marital status had been circulating for several months, fueled by Adele’s reference to Paul as “my husband” during a Las Vegas residency show in September last year.
Social media users shared posts over the weekend after attending the first U.S. stand-up show of British comedian Alan Carr, a close friend of Adele. Described as an intimate event for around 75 people, Carr asked the audience if anyone had recently married, prompting Adele to respond, “I did!” The posts, shared by the celebrity gossip platform Deuxmoi, suggest the announcement took place during Carr’s show.
Adele and Paul first crossed paths at a party years before they began dating, but it wasn’t until 2021 that their romance blossomed. This was two years after Adele filed for divorce from her ex-husband, Simon Konecki, with whom she shares a son. In her 2021 Vogue cover story, Adele shared that Paul had always been there, providing a sense of safety and comfort in their relationship. The couple has been frequently seen courtside on basketball date nights, supporting Paul’s high-profile client, NBA star LeBron James.
While Adele attended the Grammy Awards earlier this year with Paul, where she won the best pop solo performance award, rumors about their marriage intensified when she wore a diamond ring on the fourth finger of her left hand. Although Adele’s official representatives have not confirmed the news, if the reports are accurate, congratulations are in order for the happy couple.
