Adele Sweetly Turns Down Fan Proposal Because She's “Already ...

It seems congratulations are officially in order for Adele and Rich Paul.

The Grammy-winning artist seemingly confirmed she and her boyfriend of three years are engaged, during a show in Munich, where she’s currently doing a monthlong residency in a custom-built stadium.

According to social media posts from the performance, Adele read aloud a sign from a fan that said, “Will you marry me?” To which she replied, before showing off her left hand, “I can’t marry you because I’m already getting married, but I appreciate it.”

The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to a rep for Adele.

Adele and Paul first sparked dating rumors in July 2021 when they were photographed at an NBA Finals game together. They confirmed their relationship on Instagram a couple of months later when the artist shared a photo of the two of them.

While they have kept their relationship mostly private, they’ve publicly bshared a few thoughts about each other over the years and spoken up when rumors swirled. In February 2022, she shut down break-up rumors by adding at the end of an Instagram caption that “Rich sends his love.” A week later, at the BRIT Awards, the couple first sparked engagement rumors when Adele posed on the carpet with a massive ring on her left ring finger.

Shortly after the performance at the awards ceremony, the “Easy on Me” singer appeared on The Graham Norton Show and played coy about the rumors, saying, “As if I would ever tell anyone if I was or wasn’t,” she said, adding of her jewelry, “It’s lovely though, isn’t it?”

In a December cover story for The Hollywood Reporter, Adele provided some insight into her relationship with the sports agent, noting that they’ve “always known everything about each other since the day we got together.”
