Singing sensation Adele has revealed she wants a baby girl with her partner, Rich Paul. The British singer-songwriter, 36, already has an 11-year-old son, Angelo, but she recently told fans at her Las Vegas residency that she’s planning for Angelo to have a sister.
Adele shares Angelo with her ex-husband Simon Konecki, whom she started dating in 2011 and married in 2018. The couple divorced in 2021. Shortly after the divorce, Adele began dating American sports agent Rich Paul, and it seems the pair are now ready to expand their family.
During a recent performance in Las Vegas, Adele told the audience, “Once I am done with all my obligations and all of my shows, I want to have a baby. I want a girl because I’ve already got a boy. I feel like she might be the person I love the most in the world, but also probably hate the most in the world – that is what I feel will happen.”

The popstar added humorously, “She’s going to put me in my place all the time, isn’t she? With me as her mother and Rich as her father, she’s going to be a bossy little queen, isn’t she?”
Angelo, born in 2012, took almost a decade to realize how famous his mother is. In a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Adele mentioned that her son began to understand her fame after watching the “Easy On Me” video. “He noticed there were 150,000 people waiting. Then he read the comments and he was like, ‘People really like you!’ So he’s starting to get it a little bit, but not really,” Adele shared.
During her Las Vegas show, Adele also spoke candidly about her struggles with chronic health issues, which affected her voice. “I had to be on voice rest. When I say voice rest, I mean silence for pretty much five weeks. Can you imagine me, of all people, not being able to talk for five weeks? The singing, that’s easy. I don’t mind not singing for five weeks, but not being able to talk or laugh was tough.”
Earlier this year, Adele faced emotional moments on stage after a series of canceled shows threatened her Vegas residency. The singer broke down in tears, expressing her frustration and uncertainty about the future of her performances. “What I haven’t been able to get out of my head was that it took so long, and I was like: ‘When am I ever going to say I’ve done my residency?'”
As Adele continues her residency in Las Vegas, her fans eagerly anticipate not only her performances but also the exciting possibility of a new addition to her family.
