Adele confirms massive rumour mid-performance

The famously private singer has finally confirmed a massive rumour – surprising fans with the announcement mid-performance.

Adele has found her “One and Only.”

The 16-time Grammy winner, 36, finally confirmed her engagement to sports agent Rich Paul, 42, after endless rumours and three years together.

Adele revealed the news at her concert in Munich, Germany, on Thursday after a fan jokingly asked the Hello singer to marry them, reports the New York Post

“I can’t marry you because I’m already getting married so I can’t,” Adele stated in the viral video, proudly holding up her left hand to reveal her engagement.

Needless to say, the crowd went wild with concertgoers exploding in cheers and applause.

While she didn’t appear to be wearing a ring during the concert, the British songbird has been spotted with a dazzling sparkler on several occasions.

Most recently, Adele wore her pear-shaped bling while visiting her home country last month.

However, she was first seen sporting a rock on that finger in February 2022 during her Las Vegas residency and at the Brit Awards.

Adele left jaws on the floor when she walked the red carpet in a custom Giorgio Armani Privé gown, but her blinding accessory that stole the show.

Adele addressed the speculation about the bling on her finger in an August 2022 interview with Elle.

“I’m not married,” she told the mag. “I’m not married! I’m just in loooove! I’m happy as I’ll ever be. I might as well be married.”

She added, “I just love high-end jewellery, boy!”

The Rolling in the Deep singer started dating Paul — who represents NBA greats like Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James – in early 2021 after they met at a party two years before. They made their couple debut at Game 5 of the NBA Finals months later in July.

“I met him at a birthday party, we were on the dance floor,” Adele told Oprah Winfrey in a November 2021 interview as part of the singer’s Adele: One Night Only special.

“And then we met a couple years later. We went out for dinner, which he says was a business meeting and I’m like ‘A business meeting about what?’ And then it was the first time we hung out on our own.”

“He’s just hilarious,” she added. “He’s so funny. And very smart. Very, very smart. It’s quite incredible watching him do what he does and just the easiness of it and very smooth.”

The Grammy-winning siren was previously married to British charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki, 50. The pair first started dating in 2011 and married in 2018. They would split up in 2019 and finalise their divorce in 2021. They share one son, Angelo, who was born in 2012.

In July 2022, Adele revealed she wants more children. “I definitely would like a couple more kids,” she said in an interview with BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs. “It would be wonderful. If not, I’ve got Angelo.”
