World superstar singer-songwriter Adele has been in a high-profile relationship with sports agent Rich Paul, who represents LeBron James as part of the Klutch Sports Agency, since 2021. Now, it appears the pair is set to tie the knot.
While performing at a concert in Munich on Friday, Adele told a fan in the crowd “I can’t marry you, because I’m already getting married,” before holding up her hand to show off an engagement ring.
“Finally, and perhaps most pivotally, she fell madly in love,” Elle wrote of Adele and Paul in an article from November. “’Beyond,’ she says. ‘I’ve never been in love like this. I’m obsessed with him.’ Adele and Paul had been friends for some time, but their relationship became romantic in 2021, and they went public when she sat courtside with him at an NBA Finals game that July. (‘Lucky for him, I love basketball,’ Adele says. She’s partial to the Phoenix Suns.)”

While Paul may not be one of the best-selling recording artists of all time, he does bring some star power to the celebrity relationship due to his longtime connections with James, whose “inner circle” he’s been a part of for most of his basketball career.
The lovely couple seems to be very happy, and we wish them all the best.
