Adele, the globally renowned singer and 16-time Grammy winner, has seemingly confirmed her engagement to longtime boyfriend Rich Paul. The exciting news comes amidst her ongoing string of high-profile concerts across Europe.
During a recent performance in Munich, Germany, Adele responded to a playful proposal from a concertgoer with a surprising announcement. When asked if she would marry the fan, Adele humorously replied, “I can’t marry you because I’m already getting married,” while prominently displaying her left hand, as seen in fan-captured footage.
The engagement rumors about Adele and Paul have been circulating for some time. Back in 2022, Adele appeared to wear what looked like an engagement ring at the Brit Awards but dismissed media speculation about her engagement. In an interview with Elle that year, she humorously stated, “I’m not engaged. I just love high-end jewelry, boy!”

However, Adele’s recent comment and her reference to Paul as her “husband” during a Las Vegas residency show in September 2023 have only fueled speculation about their relationship status.
Adele and Rich Paul, a prominent sports agent with a client roster that includes NBA star LeBron James, went public with their relationship in 2021. Adele has previously praised Paul’s sense of humor and intelligence, describing him as “hilarious” and “very, very smart” in an interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Before her relationship with Paul, Adele was married to British charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki, with whom she shares an 11-year-old son, Angelo. Paul, originally from Ohio, has three children from a previous relationship.
In recent months, Adele has expressed her desire to expand her family with Paul. During a performance in May, she revealed, “Once I’m done with all my obligations and stuff like that … I want to have a baby. I want a girl because I’ve already got a boy.”
Adele’s European tour includes a highly anticipated 10-night residency in Munich, which could potentially break Coldplay’s record for the biggest concert engagement in history. Fans are eagerly awaiting more details about the couple’s engagement and future plans.
