BRIT Awards 2022: Adele sparks engagement rumours with sparkly diamond ring, but who is her rumoured fiancé?

Millions of music lovers across the globe tuned in to watch the 2022 edition of The BRIT Awards last night (February 8), during which Adele sweeped three awards - more than any other musician on the night.

The 'Easy On Me' singer always gets viewers talking whenever she appears at the BRITs, and last night was no exception.

Despite winning the gongs for Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year, something other than the vocal powerhouse's talent shocked viewers.

Alongside her dazzling earrings and impressive jet black velvet gown, the 33-year-old sported a striking diamond ring on the fourth finger of her left hand.

Nothing has been confirmed by the singer, who has a staggering twelve BRITs to her name, but the ring has certainly got a lot of fans speculating that a wedding may be on the cards for the Tottenham native.

Reacting to a photo of the singer on the red carpet, flaunting her ring, one fan said: "ADELE OH MY GOD wait a min- is she engaged? Did I miss something?"

Another BRITs viewer queried: "why is no one talking about that ROCK?? is Adele engaged???"

Adele is currently dating Rich Paul, an American sports agent who represents a number of NBA stars in the States.

The pair made their public debut at a basketball game in July 2021, but didn't go Instagram official until a few months later, in September, when the singer accompanied her beau to the wedding of basketball star Anthony Davis and model Marlen P.

Speaking to Vogue and British Vogue towards the end of last year, Adele shed light on her relationship with Rich, revealing that the pair met at a party a couple of years before they became romantically involved with one another. The 'Someone Like You' singer apparently got drunk, and joked to him: "Do you want to sign me? I'm an athlete now."

She said: "He's great. He's so f***ing funny. He's so smart, you know."

The star also opened up about her relationship to Oprah, during her CBS special with the talk show icon. She shared that their relationship allowed her to love herself.

Adele told Oprah: "It's just timing, but it'd be interesting to see what my reaction is like in general to anything that hurts me now that I feel so secure in myself, and I'm talking outside of romance as well."
