British singer-songwriter Adele revealed Friday that she is engaged to the sports agent Rich Paul after three years of dating.
The unofficial announcement came during Adele’s concert in Munich, where she’s currently three shows in to a monthlong residency at a custom-built stadium that seats 74,000 guests a night.
The 16-time Grammy winner appeared to read aloud a fan’s sign that said, “Will you marry me?”.
“I can’t marry you,” she replied, holding up her left hand to indicate a ring on her finger as the crowd cheered. “‘Cause I’m already getting married.”
The couple first started dating in 2021, with the businessman revealing in a New Yorker profile that he had been “hanging out” with “a major pop star.”
They made their first public outing together two months later at game 5 of the NBA Finals in Phoenix.
“He’s just hilarious. And very smart,” Adele said of her partner in an interview with Oprah that November. “It’s quite incredible watching him do what he does,”.
The singer also shared that she’s experiencing the first time she’s ever “loved myself and been open to loving and being loved by someone else.”
Proposal rumors swirled in 2022 when the “Hello” singer attended the BRIT Awards with a diamond ring on her left finger, something she confessed to having no intentions of clarifying for fans.
“As if I would ever tell anyone if I was or wasn’t,” she said of the engagement speculation on The Graham Norton Show.
Adele was previously married to Simon Konecki, with whom she shares her only child Angelo. Her most recent album "30" is predominantly themed around her experiences processing her divorce and healing the relationship with her son.
