Adele pictured with suspected wedding ring on finger after 'confirming' marriage to Rich Paul

Adele was spotted sporting what appeared to be a wedding ring as she attended an NBA basketball game with Rich Paul on Wednesday night.

The 16-time Grammy-winning singer reportedly confirmed her wedding to American sports agent Paul earlier this week following months of speculation.

At an LA Lakers home game against Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, she was pictured smiling beside him, while sporting a gold band on her left ring finger.

Adele, 35, went public with Paul, 41, in July 2021. It came two years after she split from ex-husband Simon Konecki, with whom she shares son Angelo, 10.

It was previously reported the pair were engaged after Adele was spotted with a large diamond on her finger. Sources in April then claimed the pair were planning a summer wedding.

Fans were delighted earlier this week when the singer reportedly confirmed she and Paul have tied the knot, during an appearance at her friend Alan Carr's comedy show in Los Angeles.

One audience member told celebrity gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi: “I was at Alan Carr's comedy show in LA tonight and Adele was in the audience. Alan asked the crowd if anyone got married recently and Adele shouted ‘I did’.”

Another audience member added: “When he asked if anyone got married recently she yelled ‘I did’. Super cute all around and was super sweet".

In October, Paul remained coy when CBS host Gayle King asked him about rumours the couple, who have been dating since 2021, wed this summer.

King asked the agent if she should refer to Adele as “Mrs Paul” the next time she speaks to her.

Paul replied by saying: “You can say whatever you want.” He added he wasn’t the “type of person to put [his] personal life [out there]. It’s not for the media.”
