LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: Adele fueled marriage rumors once more when she referred to herself as a 'wife' during her Las Vegas residency act on September 23.
During a casual interaction with the crowd, the diva appeared to insinuate she had married Rich Paul.
When asked about the sports agent's passion for American football and her efforts to understand the rules, she said in a video captured by TMZ, "I'm not the greatest wife when it comes to football."
It happened only a few weeks after Adele referred to Rich as her "husband" on stage when a fan requested she marry her. "You can't marry me. I'm straight, my love, and my husband's here tonight," Adele said.
"Can you try?" said the admirer. Only for the hitmaker to respond, "No, I don't want to try. I'm with Rich. You're crazy, leave me alone."
When did Adele and Rich Paul first meet?
Adele and Rich have been in a relationship for two years. They made their romance public in July 2021, when they were sitting courtside together at an NBA game.
For over a year, the Grammy winner has been wearing a pear-shaped diamond ring on her left ring finger.
When asked about it before, she stated that it was not an engagement ring and that she simply liked high-end jewelry.
At a mutual friend's birthday celebration, she met LeBron James' agent on the dance floor.
Who has Adele had relationships with?
Adele is generally quite quiet about her relationships, but her songs about love and loss have given fans brief insights into her love life.
Her most perceptible relationship was with her ex-husband and son's father, Simon Konecki.
Adele began dating Simon in 2011, and the pair welcomed their first child, Angelo, in 2012.
In 2018, the couple secretly married. However, the romance quickly ended. Adele and Simon divorced in April 2019, according to the singer's spokesperson.
Adele was said to be dating rapper Skepta in September 2019. It was alleged that the musical couple, both from Tottenham, London, dated for five months after her marriage ended and divorced in March.
Skepta sent a romantic message to Adele in the comments section of one of her Instagram images in June 2020, leading many to speculate that the couple was back together.
In October, reports surfaced that they were dating, but Adele quickly put the speculations to bed, assuring fans that she was "going back to my cave now to be the (single) cat lady that I am."
Does Rich Paul have a child?
Rich, at 40, is the father of three children. Reonna Simone Paul, one of them, is the only child he has officially recognized.
