Adele is basking in the glow of her engagement to fiancé Rich Paul. The 16-time Grammy winner, 36, delighted fans at her Las Vegas residency over the weekend when she subtly showed off her massive pear-shaped engagement ring.
While performing her 2021 hit I Drink Wine at Caesar’s Palace, Adele raised her hand to adjust her hair, momentarily displaying the sparkling diamond. As she sang the lyrics, “In these crazy times I hope to find / Something I can cling on to,” fans noticed the ring and erupted in cheers.
A fan-recorded video of the moment quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), capturing the singer’s radiant smile as the crowd celebrated her happy news.
Adele and Rich Paul, 43, a high-profile sports agent, announced their engagement in August after three years of dating. The news first broke during one of Adele’s concerts in Germany when an audience member proposed to her. “I can’t marry you because I’m already getting married, so I can’t,” she replied, confirming her engagement with a playful grin.
This isn’t the first time Adele has been spotted wearing the dazzling diamond. Weeks before the official confirmation, she was photographed leaving London’s Chiltern Firehouse with the same stunning ring. However, the timeline of Paul’s proposal remains a mystery. Adele was also seen wearing a different diamond at the 2022 Brit Awards, sparking early speculation.
Adele’s engagement comes after her marriage to Simon Konecki, with whom she shares a 12-year-old son, Angelo. The couple wed in 2018 and divorced in 2021. Despite their split, Adele has spoken positively about Konecki, emphasizing their dedication to co-parenting their son.
The singer’s fans have been eagerly following her journey with Paul, celebrating their relationship milestones alongside her. From playful banter during concerts to their frequent public appearances, the couple has won the hearts of Adele’s devoted audience.
As Adele continues her record-breaking Las Vegas residency, the excitement surrounding her engagement adds another layer of joy to her performances. Fans will undoubtedly be watching closely for more glimpses of the stunning ring—and perhaps hints about wedding plans to come.
