Adele & Rich Paul are finally ‘ENGAGED’

Adele and Rich Paul are reportedly engaged, despite months of speculation they are already married.

The singer, 36, and her partner, basketball agent Rich Paul, 42, secretly got engaged on Thursday after he proposed in her hometown, Tottenham in North London.

Adele was quick to share the happy news with her friends and family, who are expecting a huge wedding towards the end of next year.

A source told The Sun: ‘Rich planned for the proposal to be in her hometown, and gave her an incredible four carat diamond ring.

‘They celebrated with champagne at Chiltern Firehouse the following evening.

‘Adele thinks it’s hilarious that fans reckon they’re already married.’

Adele and Rich were rumoured to have tied the knot last year and reportedly confirmed the union at her best friend Alan Carr’s comedy show in Los Angeles, with two audience members confirming the news to Deuxmoi.

An onlooker explained: ‘I was at Alan Carr’s comedy show in LA tonight and Adele was in the audience. Alan asked the crowd if anyone got married recently and Adele shouted ‘I did’.’

Another audience member added of the ‘small and intimate show: ‘When he asked if anyone got married recently she yelled ‘I did’. Super cute all around and was super sweet but dipped right before it ended.’

They added: ‘Adele was sitting right behind me with a friend having the best time. Her security only came in to bring her snacks.

‘She didn’t care if people knew she was there. She was heckling him – they’re best friends.’

Rich later addressed marriage rumours as he told how he and Adele have ‘helped each other’ during their two-year relationship.
