Adele gushes about new man Rich Paul after previous dates 'couldn't handle the stress'

Adele has hailed her new boyfriend Rich Paul as "funny and smart".

The Someone Like You singer has heaped praise on her new beau, as she opened up about dating following her split and subsequent divorce from Simon Konecki.

Adele explained how she had been dating for a number of months, but all of her potential lovers found it too "stressful" being out or being seen with her. It's something she said her new man is completely opposite and isn't "frazzled" by her fame at all.

"I did date before Rich, but they hated it. They’d find it stressful being out or seen with me," she told British Vogue.

"Whereas he’s not frazzled by it at all. It feels like it’s consistent and considerate enough that I don’t care who knows.

"He’s great. He’s so f***ing funny. He’s so smart, you know."

Sources have previously described Rich as the "man of Adele's dreams", hinting that they are falling in love more every day.

"Adele and Rich are joined at the hip and are falling more in love each day," an insider close to the 33-year-old tells Heat.

"She's gone from acting coy and telling people its early days to fully admitting he's the man of her dreams."

The source added: "They're ready to meet each other's families and Adele's keen to bring Rich home to the UK soon so she can show him off."

Adele and Rich also recently went Instagram official, with the singer sharing a picture of her and her man from a glitzy party.

Back in July, insiders revealed the pair had met after having mutual friends and it had been "nice" for Adele to be with Rich following the end of her marriage.

A source previously told People: "They have mutual friends in common, so that’s been nice. She’s having fun and being social. [Adele] has relaxed a lot. She’s not quite as private as when she was married.

"She is living her life and doing great. She is having a great summer with [her son] Angelo. They are spending most of their time in LA."

The pair were first linked after being seen at the NBA finals together.

"Rich Paul brings his girlfriend to the game to sit next to LeBron. His girlfriend is Adele," ESPN announcer Brian Windhorst claimed.

"Rich Paul is at the game with Adele. This is the first time that they’ve come out in public together," he added.
