Adele Confirms Engagement To Rich Paul With Stunning Ring Reveal During Las Vegas Residency

Adele flaunted her engagement ring during her Las Vegas residency, flashing the pear-shaped piece of jewelry while performing "I Drink Wine."

The singer and her fiancé, Rich Paul, who have been together since 2021, confirmed their engagement in August after previously sparking marriage rumors.

Adele, who recently expressed sadness as her residency nears its end, reflected on the transformative experience and announced plans to take a long break.

During her Las Vegas residency at Caesar's Palace, Adele held up her left hand to show off her stunning pear-shaped engagement ring, confirming her engagement to Rich Paul.

A video shared on X captured the moment as fans erupted in applause when the famous artist sang, "In these crazy times I hope to find / Something I can cling on to," proudly flashing the ring.

The 36-year-old singer and the 43-year-old sports agent have been together for three years, with Adele first sharing news of their engagement in August during a concert in Germany.

When a fan proposed to her from the audience, she cheekily responded, "I can't marry you because I'm already getting married, so I can't."

Speculation about their engagement began weeks prior when Adele was seen leaving London's Chiltern Firehouse wearing a sparkling ring. However, the timeline of Paul's proposal remains a mystery.

Fans also noticed the singer wearing a diamond ring at the Brit Awards in 2022, fueling early rumors about their relationship taking the next step.

Adele and Paul's romance first caught attention in 2021 when they were spotted together at an NBA Finals game. Days later, their relationship was confirmed by Page Six.

By the following year, the Grammy winner couldn't hide her excitement about their future together.

Speaking on "The Graham Norton Show," Adele shared her hopes of marriage and expanding her family.

"It is absolutely 100 percent happening this year. It has to happen this year because I've got plans for next year," Adele said confidently.

Although the publication reported a brief rough patch in their relationship, the couple has proven their bond is strong. In August 2022, they took a major step by purchasing a $58 million Beverly Hills mansion together.

Before her relationship with Paul, Adele was married to Simon Konecki from 2018 to 2021. The former couple shares a 12-year-old son, Angelo.

According to sources who spoke to People magazine, Adele, who celebrated her 36th birthday on Sunday, May 5, is reveling in her beautiful romance with Paul and her role as a devoted mother to her 11-year-old son, Angelo.

Insiders described Adele's relationship with Paul, a sports agent renowned for his clientele, including LeBron James, as "solid."

"They help each other and are good partners," the source revealed, adding that Adele "loves being with" Paul.

Another source echoed the sentiment: "Adele has been happy and enjoys her life as a parent and her time spent with Rich."

Offering insight into their dynamic, the insiders noted that Adele and Paul "like to laugh, and they inspire each other."

As her Las Vegas residency nears its conclusion after two remarkable years, Adele admitted she feels "genuinely sad." On Sunday, November 3, the "Hello" singer reflected on the reality that her final performances were just weeks away.

"This really is the beginning of the end. There are no other f-cking shows. I'm not going to be like, 'Surprise!' This is the end," Adele told the crowd, according to The Sun.

"In two weeks, I'm retiring. This is the end," Adele said, referring to her 100th and final performance, which takes place the weekend before Thanksgiving.

"I don't have any plans to be on stage indefinitely, really," she added.

Adele previously made it clear in September that she plans to take an extended break from performing after her final show.

Speaking to the audience, she said: "I have ten shows to do, but after that, I will not see you for an incredibly long time, and I will hold you dear in my heart."

According to The Sun, Adele also reflected on how much the experience has meant to her, sharing with her audience, "They say that if you want things and you are looking for things in life, you have to pay the universe, and then it pays you back tenfold."

She went on to express how the residency has impacted her personally, stating: "My life is a thousand times better. My life, not my career, not my music. I'm talking about my actual life. And I really, truly think that this show has been my best friend throughout all of that."

The singer also opened up about her future, saying, "I'm looking forward to having loads of spare time to love on my kid, to love on my man, to love on another kid. I will miss you terribly."
