Adele has opened up about her relationship with boyfriend Rich Paul for the first time. The superstar singer has shared a rare glimpse into her private life saying she has "never been in love like this" and is "obsessed" with her American sports agent beau.
The singer, who shares son Angelo with her ex-husband Simon Konecki, confirmed her relationship with Paul in September 2021 and despite being seen in public together on numerous, but very few, occasions, Adele hasn't really spoken out about her new love.
She stars on the cover of the October 2022 issue of Elle UK and its American counterpart, Elle US, with a cover image showing her posing in a white coat, as well as featuring on global Elle covers across the world.
And Forty-year-old Paul is the founder of management company Klutch Sports Group, which represents high-profile basketball stars including LeBron James, Anthony Davis and John Wall.
Adele said of Paul: "I’ve never been in love like this. I’m obsessed with him.” It comes three years after she announced her split from charity boss Konecki in April 2019. Their divorce was finalised in March 2021, with the former couple sharing custody of their son.
The 34-year-old pop superstar, who now lives in Los Angeles, said she does want to get married again but confirmed she is not engaged to Paul. She sparked rumours that she was set to marry her new man back in February when she was seen wearing a huge diamond on her ring finger.
And while there may not be wedding bells right now, Adele added that while she does want to have more children, her focus at the moment is on her upcoming Las Vegas residency.
In July she announced the new dates for the delayed Las Vegas gigs, saying they would take place from November to March. She had been due to perform a series of shows from January to April this year at Caesars Palace but they were scrapped at short notice.
She said: "I definitely want more kids. I’m a homemaker and I’m a matriarch, and a stable life helps me with my music. But right now, all I got in my brain is Vegas." She then declared: "I wanna f****** nail it."
The Someone Like You, Hello, and Easy on Me singer made a return to the spotlight in 2021 with her fourth album, 30, launching it with a TV special, An Audience With Adele, recorded at the London Palladium.
It was filmed in front of an A-list audience, with guests including Dame Emma Thompson, Jodie Comer, Samuel L Jackson, Years And Years star Olly Alexander and Boy George. It followed her interview with American chat show host Oprah Winfrey for a two-hour special, which was broadcast on American network CBS the week before.
