Adele finally confirmed she and Rich Paul are engaged after three years of dating.
The “Hello” singer announced the exciting news during her concert in Munich, Germany, on Thursday after a fan jokingly asked for her hand in marriage.
Adele and Rich Paul are engaged.
The singer seemingly confirmed the news during a recent concert in Munich, Germany.
Adele told concertgoers she is “getting married.”
“I can’t marry you because I’m already getting married so I can’t,” she said while holding up her left hand to signal an engagement.
Although she wasn’t wearing a ring, the British singer was seen with a massive pear-shaped diamond on that finger while in her home country last month.
The eight-carat diamond was estimated to be worth over $875,000. However, that’s not the only diamond in Adele’s possession.
The pair first sparked engagement rumors over two years ago when the singer attended the Brits with a pear-shaped diamond on her left hand.

The pair first sparked engagement rumors in February 2022 when the singer arrived at the Brit Awards with a huge sparkler on display.
Soon after, she rocked the same ring, estimated to be worth over $1 million, during her Las Vegas residency.
Along with her two pear-shaped sparklers, Adele has been spotted wearing a large emerald rock and a chunky gold band on her left hand.
However, the lovebirds never confirmed their engagement — until now.
Most recently, she was seen wearing a huge sparkler while in London with Paul, seen above.

Adele, 36, and the sports agent, 42, have been dating since 2021.
They were first spotted together at Game 5 of the NBA Finals in July 2021. Days later, Page Six exclusively confirmed that they were an item.
After that, they made several public appearances together before officially making their love public on Instagram. Adele shared a snap of them together along with a red heart emoji in September 2021.
The singer also indicated in 2022 that she had plans to marry Paul and that she was ready to have another 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢.
“It is absolutely 100 percent happening this year. It has to happen this year because I’ve got plans for next year,” Adele said on “The Graham Norton Show” ahead of her Las Vegas residency. “Imagine if I have to cancel because I am having a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢?”
However, after less than a year of dating, their relationship appeared to hit a rocky patch when Page Six reported that Adele and Rich had been fighting. Their volatile relationship was apparently one of the reasons why she postponed her residency.
“Adele is very emotional and dramatic. He’s an NBA guy who has to go on the road — they are very different — and they hit a rough patch,” a source told us at the time.
They went Instagram-official in September 2021.

Sources also told us at the time that Adele was constantly crying and shouting on the phone with Paul during rehearsals.
And things seemed rocky last May when Page Six exclusively reported that Paul was spotted partying with his client LeBron James in Miami on Adele’s 34th birthday.
But that August, the duo seemed to be going strong when Adele purchased a $58 million love nest in Beverly Hills for her and Paul.
That same month, rumors swirled that Paul had popped the question, but Adele denied that they were engaged.
Adele and Paul started their relationship shortly after she finalized her divorce from Simon Konecki, with whom she shares 10-year-old son Angelo.
Adele detailed the pain of her divorce to her son in a heartbreaking voice note included on her album “30,” which dropped in November 2021.
