In the third picture in the post, the "Hello" singer's new Emmy award was placed on some books on a table. Behind the books was a rectangular transparent box with a dark lid. The box had "The Paul's" written boldly on top and looked to have some tiles in them.

Adele's fans quickly picked up on the box's inscription and speculated if the EGO winner had finally married her boyfriend, Paul. Comments like "'The Paul's' MY GIRL IS MARRIED" and "not her secretly dropping the relationship status" were rampant in the post's comment section.

According to Newsweek, some other fans tried to shed more light on the picture. One wrote, "Her boyfriend's name is Rich Paul. 'The Paul's' may suggest they're already married. At the very least, the perception of marital union."
