Adele’s relationship status has been a topic of much intrigue, especially after she casually referred to her partner, Rich Paul, as her “husband.” Although neither has officially confirmed a marriage, Adele might have dropped another hint during a recent concert in Munich, Germany. According to People, when a fan proposed to her during the show, she playfully responded, “I can’t marry you, I’m already getting married,” while gesturing with her left hand.
If this is indeed an engagement announcement, it wouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Earlier this year, the acclaimed singer shared with another audience her desire to expand her family with Paul, expressing a longing for another child, particularly a daughter. She humorously anticipated that a daughter of theirs would likely have a strong-willed personality, saying, “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?”
Adele, now 36, began her relationship with Paul, a prominent sports agent, in 2021. The addition of a baby girl would join their blended family; Adele has an 11-year-old son, Angelo, from her previous marriage to Simon Konecki, while Paul has three children from an earlier relationship.
While People noted that Adele wasn’t wearing a ring during the Thursday concert, she had been spotted with a diamond on her ring finger earlier in the summer. Reflecting on her relationship with Paul in a 2022 interview with Elle, Adele expressed her deep affection, saying, “I’ve never been in love like this. I’m obsessed with him.”
