Adele and Rich Paul were recently spotted attending a Los Angeles Lakers basketball playoff game together. The couple sat courtside, with Adele donning a stylish black blazer over a white blouse and coordinated dark trousers, while Paul wore black leather pants and a denim jacket. The Lakers ended up winning the game, keeping their playoff hopes alive against the Denver Nuggets.
The couple first sparked dating rumors in July 2021 when they attended Game 5 of the NBA finals together. Adele made her Instagram debut with Paul two months later, praising his sense of humor and intelligence during a November 2021 CBS interview. Despite Adele referring to Paul as her husband during some of her Las Vegas concerts in 2023, it was confirmed that they had not legally wed. However, they continue to refer to each other as husband and wife, with Adele appreciating the security and affection in their relationship.
During a September 2023 show, Adele humorously mentioned trying to understand and enjoy American football, even though she admitted to not being the best partner when it comes to the sport. Despite not officially marrying, Adele and Paul act as a married couple and refer to each other as husband and wife. Adele values the security and adoration she receives from Paul, viewing marriage as merely a ceremony at this point and focusing on their partnership and happiness.
While neither Adele nor Paul have confirmed plans for an official wedding, Paul has expressed his contentment with their relationship and is not concerned about the speculation surrounding their marital status. When asked about Adele potentially going by “Mrs. Paul” during an interview, Paul responded positively, stating that they have helped each other and are in a good space. Despite the ongoing speculation and rumors, Adele and Paul continue to enjoy their relationship and the bond they share, calling each other husband and wife as a testament to their commitment and love for each other.
