Adele has frustrated her boyfriend Rich Paul and left him ‘spooked’ by joking she might have to cancel concerts if she gets pregnant, according to reports.
The singing superstar was due to perform a lengthy run of shows in Las Vegas but cancelled the gigs at the last minute.
Her residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace was hotly anticipated by fans, some of whom had already flown to the US from the UK to see the 33-year-old chart topper.
However, featuring on The Graham Norton Show earlier this month, Adele reassured fans and insisted the concerts would definitely go as ahead at some point this years.
Adele went on to tease fans that the gigs “had” to happen this year because she already has plans for next year, report Mirror Online.
A source told heat magazine: “Adele just blurting out the plan for them to have a baby next year has left Rich feeling spooked.
“Yes, it’s something they have discussed, but he had no idea their private plans would be broadcast and then splashed all over the world’s headlines.
“He knew what he was signing up for when he began dating Adele, but he doesn’t like their intimate moments becoming fodder for gossip, and he didn’t think Adele did, either. It’s definitely caused an awkward silence or two between them.”
The representatives of both Adele and Rich have been contacted to provide a comment.
Adele and Rich are rumoured to be engaged
The singer was previously married to businessman Simon Konecki from 2018 until 2021 and together they share a nine-year-old son named Angelo – who features on Adele’s recent album, 30.
Fans of the singer were left flabbergasted and annoyed last month when she cancelled her Las Vegas residency at the eleventh hour – when some fans were halfway across the Atlantic on flights to see her perform.
Initially she blamed a covid outbreak for the abrupt cancellation of the show – but reports soon emerged that she’d actually had a meltdown over her set design.
Quotes suggested the singer snapped that the stage resembled a “baggy old pond” and she “refused, point blank, to stand in the middle of it”.
A source said last month: “The intention was to fill it with water on the set as she was lifted up on a crane-type mechanism, creating the illusion she was floating on water.”
Meanwhile, reports over the weekend suggested Adele will in fact return to Sin City this summer to finally perform her shows.
A gap in performance dates between Sting, Sir Rod Stewart and Kieth Urban suggest the British singer will be on stage for dates between June 18th and September 23rd.
