Online sources claim that Adele has confirmed her second marriage to Rich Paul. For several months, there had been conjecture regarding the marital status of the British pop sensation and Paul, a sports agent best known for his work with NBA player LeBron James.
The rumors gained momentum after Adele referred to him as “my husband” during a performance at her Las Vegas residency in September of the previous year. According to reports, Adele and Rich Paul, her partner of two years, have confirmed their marriage.
The 16-time Grammy winner’s marriage is rumored to have been announced during a comedy show in Los Angeles on Saturday, which her longtime friend Alan Carr was hosting.
Adele revealed her wedding to Rich Paul in Alan Carr’s show
Several people who saw British comedian Alan Carr perform stand-up in the United States for the first time over the weekend shared their experiences on social media.
The event was billed as having an audience of “maybe 75 people” and taking place in a “tiny and intimate venue.” Carr is one of Adele’s best friends, and rumors have it that Adele even performed the ceremony for Carr and his now ex-husband in the backyard of her Los Angeles residence in 2018.
Posts on the celebrity gossip website Deuxmoi claim that Adele said, “I did!” in response to Carr’s question about audience members’ recent marriages during the show.
Adele and Rich Paul’s relationship history
Even though Adele and Paul first met at a party many years before they started dating, their romantic relationship didn’t begin until 2021.
The singer filed for divorce from her ex-husband Simon Konecki, with whom she has a son, two years before this. Adele revealed in her 2021 Vogue cover story, “He was always there, I just didn’t see him.”
She spoke of Paul’s abrupt entry into her life and said she was deeply at ease and safe in their relationship right away. Adele stressed that the experience was exhilarating rather than unsettling or nervous.
The couple has been spotted on numerous basketball date nights over the years, most of them sitting courtside to cheer on Paul’s well-known client, Los Angeles Lakers player James. Even though they are related to basketball games, Paul has backed Adele as well.
They went to the Grammy Awards together earlier this year, when Adele took home the Best Pop Solo Performance trophy for her song “Easy on Me.”
Marriage rumors surfaced during the February event when Adele was seen with a diamond ring on her left hand’s fourth finger. When she shared an Instagram picture of herself holding a copy of Paul’s memoir last month, along with another diamond ring on her wedding finger, these rumors reappeared.
Rich Paul shares his memoir was ’emotional’ for Adele to read
When Paul’s memoir was published, he revealed that Adele, his then-wife, found it difficult to read. “It was very emotional,” he said. I imagine a good portion of it probably resonated.”
Given the persistent rumors that the couple got married before announcing to the public, it makes sense that the “Set Fire to the Rain” singer would be profoundly touched by her husband’s moving memoir.
Paul’s memoir, “Lucky Me: A Memoir of Changing the Odds,” was released last year by Jay Z’s publishing company, Roc Lit 101. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of his life beyond his lucrative business ventures and high-profile partner through the memoir.
It explores his early years in a low-income neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio, where he had to deal with issues like a drug-addicted mother who would frequently leave him home alone. The memoir also looks at the important lessons his father taught him, which helped him become well-known in Hollywood.
Paul, 41, told PEOPLE after reflecting on his incredible journey, “I’m happy in all aspects of my life. I’ve always been someone who doesn’t let anything affect them.”
