Adele's Jaw-Dropping Diamond Ring Stirs Up Marriage Buzz While Flaunting Rich Paul's Book

Adele transformed her dressing room into a spontaneous library before her "Weekends With Adele" concert in Las Vegas. On Saturday, October 14, the 35-year-old singer shared a photo on her Instagram holding up her boyfriend Rich Paul's new memoir, Lucky Me, to the camera. She positioned the book in front of the bottom half of her face.

Ahead of her 31st performance of her "Weekends With Adele" Sin City residency, Adele looked breathtaking in a black gown adorned with gold accents. Adding to the intrigue, she flaunted a massive square-shaped diamond ring on her finger. The presence of this extravagant ring only fuels the ongoing speculation about Adele's marital status, particularly as she has previously referred to Paul, 41, as her spouse in public.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot marry you. I am straight and happily married to my husband, who is here with me tonight," Adele humorously responded to a female fan's marriage proposal during a September concert in Las Vegas. "No, I do not want to give it a try! I am committed to Rich. Please, respect my boundaries."

Several weeks later, Adele light-heartedly admitted at another concert, "I must confess that I am not the greatest wife. I have dedicated quite some time to comprehend and even enjoy American football. However, despite my partner's immense love for the sport, I still have room for improvement."

According to a source, the couple is not legally married. However, they refer to each other as husband and wife and have been doing so for quite some time. The insider exclusively shared with us that Adele appreciates the sense of security this brings and the love and devotion her partner has for her. At this point, marriage is simply seen as a ceremonial aspect, as they already live and behave as a married couple.

Adele, who was previously married to Simon Konecki and has a 10-year-old son named Angelo with him, was first linked to Paul in July 2021 when they were seen together at Game 5 of the NBA finals. Two months later, Adele and the sports agent made their relationship public on Instagram.

In a November 2021 CBS interview, Adele spoke highly of Paul, describing him as hilarious and incredibly intelligent. She also mentioned that she feels confident and secure in herself, which makes her curious about how she would react to anything that hurts her, both in romantic relationships and in general.

Paul has been elusive when it comes to the rumors about their marriage. During a conversation with Gayle King on CBS Mornings in October, she inquired whether it would be appropriate to address Adele as "Mrs. Paul." Paul's reply was understated. He remarked, "You can say whatever you like." He also mentioned, "She has had a positive impact on my life. I believe that she would concur that we have undoubtedly supported one another. Our relationship is thriving, and we are content. She is exceptional."
