Adele is ‘100 per cent’ dating LeBron James’ manager

Singing superstar Adele, who split from her hubby in 2019, has gone public with her new boyfriend at an NBA game in the US.

It seems like pop star Adele has found her one and only.

A source has said the singer is “100 per cent” dating sports super-agent Rich Paul.

The pair were spotted sitting together at Game Five of the NBA Finals on the weekend, sparking dating rumours.

“They are [definitely] dating,” an insider confirmed to Page Six.

Meanwhile, there are hints in the press that Paul, 39, and Adele, 33, may have been together as far back as May.

In an article this summer in the New Yorker about how Paul – who is an agent for LeBron James, among other huge sports stars – is transforming the “business of basketball”, Paul mentions that he has been “hanging out” with “a major pop star”.

But he added in the article, which was published online on May 31: “I’m not dating, I’m single. Put that in the story.”

Things seem to have changed since then. And at least one person in on the news was ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, who referred to the Someone Like You singer as Paul’s girlfriend when they sat together at the NBA.

“Rich Paul, [LeBron James’] agent, brings his girlfriend to the game sitting next to LeBron. His girlfriend is Adele,” Windhorst said on his The Lowe Post podcast. “Rich Paul is at the game with Adele.”

Adele was formerly married to charity CEO Simon Konecki. They split in 2019.

Paul is the founder of Klutch Sports Group and the head of UTA Sports. He also represents Ben Simmons, Tristan Thompson, JR Smith, Draymond Green and Anthony Davis.

Reps for both Adele and Paul did not respond to request for comment.
