Adele celebrated her boyfriend Rich Paul's 41st birthday in the most romantic way, with a stage serenade of the iconic "Happy Birthday" song. The serenade was during the "Rolling in the Deep" singer's December 16th show of her Las Vegas residency. Videos of the moment quickly went viral on social media, with millions of fans melting at the adorable performance.

In one viral video on Twitter, the 34-year-old singer said, "It's my boyfriend's birthday today, and I love him more than life itself. Can we wish him a happy birthday?" She then got thousands of fans to join her in a spirited performance of the song. In the end, Adele broke into a hearty laugh as Paul smiled and laughed.

Adele and Paul went public as a couple in July 2021 after being spotted sitting together courtside during an NBA game. The appearance was a few months before the singer's divorce from Simon Konecki was finalized, with the former couple agreeing to joint custody of their 10-year-old son Angelo.

Adele has gushed about Paul extensively during interviews, such as her profile interview with Elle in August this year. During the interview, she spoke about their relationship, saying, "I've never been in love like this. I'm obsessed with him. I'm just in loooove! I'm happy as I'll ever be. I might as well be married."

The "Water Under the Bridge" singer, who now lives fully in Los Angeles, also shared that she does want to remarry one day but stated that she and Paul are not engaged. Adele revealed that she does want more kids in the future, but her focus, for now, is on the Vegas residency.

Adele finally began her Vegas residency, which was postponed for almost a year, a move that was very controversial with fans. She kicked off the residency on November 18th with a performance to over 4000 people at the Caesar's Palace Colosseum. Her son, Angelo, and Paul were present at the concert, which was a huge success.

According to The Guardian, Adele got emotional as she addressed the crowd, saying, "Thank you so much for coming back to me. It looks just like I imagined it would." The singer opened the show with her 2015 hit "Hello" and performed other hits in her catalog, such as "Someone Like You," "Easy on Me," "When We Were Young," "Rumour Has It," and "Skyfall."

Since she kicked off the Vegas residency, Adele has been surprised by several famous faces in the concert audiences, such as fellow music icon Shania Twain. On November 29th, Adele took to her Instagram story to share a photo of herself performing with Twain watching from the audience while disguised under a cowboy hat.

In the caption, Adele shared her excitement to see the "Man! I Feel Like a Woman" crooner in her crowd. She wrote, per E! News, "Thank god you had a hat on… I would have self-combusted had I seen it was you, I adore you, I can't believe you came to my show."

Twain re-posted the "Love in the Dark" singer's IG Story and captioned it, "Thank god we didn't make eye contact, all I can think of is the reaction of all those fans to [Adele] combusting halfway through the show."
