Adele and Rich Paul are continuing to enjoy a strong and loving relationship, recently spotted on a cozy date night in West Hollywood on December 20, 2024, just before the holiday season. The couple, seen sharing smiles and dressed in coordinated dark outfits, left a local restaurant hand-in-hand. Adele, 36, wore a relaxed black hoodie and matching pants, while Paul, 44, paired a black jacket with white accents and dark pants. The couple’s outing came nearly a month after Adele wrapped up her long-running Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
During her final residency performance, Adele made an emotional tribute to her son, Angelo, and Paul, expressing gratitude for his unwavering support throughout the demanding schedule. She acknowledged the tough moments when she felt physically and emotionally drained but credited Paul for lifting her spirits and encouraging her to continue. Adele also shared a heartfelt message to her fans, expressing how much she would miss the residency. Although she’s unsure of her next move, Adele hinted at her love for performing, saying she would definitely return to the stage in the future but wasn’t certain when.
Over the years, rumors have swirled around Adele and Paul’s relationship, with some speculating that they might be married. This speculation intensified when Adele referred to Paul as her “husband” during a 2023 residency show. In a playful exchange with a fan, she stated, “You can’t marry me. I’m straight, my love, and my husband’s here tonight.” In July 2024, she was also spotted wearing a pear-shaped diamond ring on her left hand, fueling further rumors. When asked about her marital status in 2022, Adele refused to confirm or deny anything, keeping the details of her personal life private.
Adele and Paul first went public with their relationship in September 2021, when Adele shared glimpses of the couple attending the wedding of NBA star Anthony Davis and his wife, Marlen. Since then, they’ve been photographed together at several high-profile events and NBA games. According to sources close to the couple, their relationship remains solid, and they continue to inspire one another. Despite the occasional speculation about their marital status, they seem to enjoy a private, yet thriving relationship.
