The 16-time Grammy winner, 36, finally confirmed her engagement to sports agent Rich Paul, 42, after endless rumors and three years together.
Adele revealed the news at her concert in Munich, Germany, on Thursday after a fan jokingly asked the “Hello” singer to marry them.

“Will you marry me?” she repeated the fan’s question to the crowd before sharing her response.
“I can’t marry you because I’m already getting married so I can’t,” Adele stated in the viral video , proudly holding up her left hand to reveal her engagement.

Needless to say, the crowd went wild with concertgoers exploding in cheers and applause.
While she didn’t appear to be wearing a ring during the concert, the British songbird has been spotted with a dazzling sparkler on several occasions. Most recently, Adele wore her pear-shaped bling while visiting her home country last month.

However, she was first seen sporting a rock on that finger in February 2022 at the Brit Awards and during her Las Vegas residency.

Adele addressed the speculation about the bling on her finger in an August 2022 interview with Elle . “I’m not married,” she told the mag. “I’m not married! I’m just in loooove! I’m happy as I’ll ever be. I might as well be married.”
She added, “I just love high-end jewelry, boy!”

The “Rolling in the Deep” singer started dating Paul — who represents NBA greats like Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James – in early 2021 after they met at a party two years before. They made their couple debut at Game 5 of the NBA Finals months later in July.
“I met him at a birthday party, we were on the dance floor,” Adele told Oprah Winfrey in a November 2021 interview as part of the singer’s “Adele: One Night Only” special.

“And then we met a couple years later. We went out for dinner, which he says was a business meeting and I’m like ‘A business meeting about what?’ And then it was the first time we hung out on our own.”
“He’s just hilarious,” she added. “He’s so funny. And very smart. Very, very smart. It’s quite incredible watching him do what he does and just the easiness of it and very smooth.”

The Grammy-winning siren was previously married to British charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki, 55. The pair first started dating in 2011 and married in 2018. They would split up in 2019, however, and finalize their divorce in 2021. They share one son, Angelo, who was born in 2012.
In July 2022, Adele revealed she wants more children. “I definitely would like a couple more kids,” she said in an interview with BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs . “It would be wonderful. If not, I’ve got Angelo.”

Paul, for his part, has three children from a previous relationship, Reonna, Richie and Zane.
In May, Adele gave a shoutout to Reonna after she graduated from Clark Atlanta University.
“It is my stepdaughter’s graduation this weekend,” she said while onstage performing at her Las Vegas residency on May 17. “I love you darling. Congratulations!”
“She’s the first family member that’s graduated college,” the singer continued. “How amazing is that? It’s a f–king vibe. So, they’re all in Atlanta and they’re obviously celebrating her and obviously I’m here with you — I wouldn’t be anywhere else. I love you baby.”
