Did Adele Just Refer To Rich Paul As Her 'Husband' At Las Vegas Show?

Adele has recently been more open about her affection for her boyfriend, Rich Paul. The Grammy-winning artist confirmed their relationship back in 2021 during the promotional tour for her album 30. However, in a surprising turn of events, there are now rumours circulating that the couple might have taken a significant step forward in their relationship. This intriguing development unfolded during one of Adele’s Las Vegas shows when she affectionately referred to Rich Paul, her partner of two years, as her “husband.” This incident occurred when the singer was engaged with her audience during the Weekends With Adele show. It all transpired when a female fan playfully proposed to the singer.

Responding to the fan, she said, “You can’t marry me. I’m straight, my love and my husband’s here tonight.” When the fan insisted, “Can you try?” the Hello singer jokingly replied, “No, I don’t want to try. I’m with Rich. You’re crazy, leave me alone.” Her answer stirred excitement among her admirers.

Adele and Rich Paul went public with their relationship after they were spotted together at the NBA Finals between Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks. Later, in a Vogue interview, Adele mentioned they had been friends for some time but didn’t start a romantic relationship until the beginning of 2021. She shared that they first met at a party a couple of years ago and revealed, “I was a bit drunk. I said, ‘Do you want to sign me? I’m an athlete now.’ He’s just so funny.”

The singer emphasised feeling safe with him, stating that she doesn’t experience anxiety, nervousness or feel exhausted when she’s with him. “I didn’t mean to go public with it. I just wanted to go to the game. I just love being around him. I just love it,” she added.

Before dating Paul Rich, Adele was previously married to Simon Konecki. They welcomed their son, Angelo, in 2012. Although they officially tied the knot in 2018, the singer revealed that they separated shortly after their marriage. She kept the separation private for some time before it was out. In 2019, Adele officially filed for divorce from Simon.

In 2020, Adele made headlines when various reports suggested that she was dating British rapper Skepta for several months. However, she clarified her relationship status on Instagram and referred to herself as single. She later revealed in an interview with Vogue that she had dated other people before starting her relationship with Rich Paul. She also pointed out that many of the stories about her relationships were entirely fabricated and not true.
