Adele has finally confirmed that she’s engaged, and let’s be honest, this might be one of the best-kept secrets in Hollywood.
The “Hello” singer kept quiet about the subject for over a year before making the exciting announcement during a concert in Munich, Germany.
Despite the ups and downs, fans will probably be happy to know that Adele has found her own “One and Only.”
Well, most of her fans are like that.
Adele Confirms Engagement to Rich Paul at Concert: Watch
Adele finally put an end to the rumors after a fan jokingly proposed to her during a show in Munich, Germany on Thursday.
“I can’t marry you because I’m already married,” she said in a fan video for the show.
Then she raised her left hand to announce her engagement, but strangely enough, she wasn’t wearing a ring.
Well, maybe it’s not so strange. When rumors of a long-term engagement first surfaced between the two in February 2022, she was spotted wearing a diamond ring worth about $1 million.
While it is safe to wear while living in Las Vegas, it may be difficult to wear while touring.

Adele & Richie: A Love Story
Adele and her sports agent boyfriend have been dating since the summer of 2021.
The pair were first spotted together at Game 5 of the NBA Finals in July 2021. After the secret came out, the pair went official on Instagram, with Adele sharing a photo of the two together in September 2021, along with a red heart emoji.
That’s what we did in the 20’s.
Despite being together for three years, there has been little movement on the part of the couple to be considered “serious.” We’re talking about the usual checklist most people apply to couples: marriage, a house, children. But Adele has been very open about the latter.
First the wedding, then the long-awaited baby carriage
Since 2022, Adele has been open about wanting more children, but her timeline is currently a bit off.
“This year it’s 100 percent going to happen. I have plans for next year, so this year it has to happen,” Adele said on “The Graham Norton Show” ahead of her Las Vegas show. “What if I have a baby and have to cancel?”
Well, the show wasn’t canceled, but the baby never came. And as the years went by, rumors circulated that Adele would suffer even greater losses.
Their relationship appeared to have hit a rough patch in February last year. Page 6The outlet reported that Adele and Richie had a huge fight, which was said to be one of the reasons why she postponed her residency.
“Adele is very emotional and dramatic. She has to travel as an NBA player. They go through very different and difficult times,” a source told us at the time.
And things seemed to get worse when Paul was spotted partying in Miami with his client, LeBron James, on what would have been Adele’s 34th birthday.
This is not a good sign!
Does Adele’s future look bright?
But now, months later, Adele is not only boasting that she is a future bride, but she’s also talking about having a love nest.
Adele reportedly bought a $58 million home in Beverly Hills with Paul.
Now it will be much harder for Paul to gently let her down, put a ring on her, and secure the house, then pretend he doesn’t want her.
But that just means their love will never become water under the bridge.
