Adele responds to engagement rumours as she admits she's 'obsessed' with beau Rich Paul

Adele has opened up on her romance with her beau Rich Paul and responded to rumours she is engaged to the American sports agent.

The Chasing Pavements hit singer, 34, and sports agent were first romantically linked in May 2021 and their romance appears to have gone from strength to strength ever since.

Adele and 40-year-old Rich moved in together in May and rumours the pair got engaged have been rife since the singer flashed a huge sparkling ring on her wedding finger in February this year.

If the pair are to wed it will be the Easy On Me singer's second marriage as she was previously married to Simon Konecki, who she was with for eight years before filing for divorce in 2019.

However, fans might have to wait a bit longer to see Adele walk down the aisle again as the singer has revealed she is yet to get engaged to her sports agent beau.

When asked by Elle UK about the engagement rumours, the star can't help but tease as she said: "Well! Well. Well, I’m not married."

Adele then laughed and added: "I’m not married."

When pressed further on the engagement rumours, Adele replied with: "I’m not married. I’m not married!"

The star then took a big gulp of her coffee and sung: "I’m just in loooove! I’m happy as I’ll ever be. I might as well be married."

However, later in the interview, Adele clarified: "I’m not engaged. I just love high-end jewellery, boy!"

Adele, who shares a nine-year-old son with her ex Simon, is clearly besotted with her beau as she gushed: "I’ve never been in love like this. I’m obsessed with him."

And, while the star is currently a mum-of-one she does have hopes to expand her brood one day as she said she "definitely wants more kids".

She added that a "stable life" helps her to create her music but, her baby plans have been put on hold until she completes her Las Vegas residency as she is determined to "f**king nail it".

Adele released her new Sin City residency dates in July, after previously cancelling her scheduled performances in a tearful video at the beginning of the year which sparked backlash from disgruntled fans.

She was meant to perform at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for her Weekends With Adele shows from January to April this year.

The singer claimed the shows were 'not ready' as she explained why she pulled the plug on the Vegas gigs, much to the disappointment of her fans.

But, she has since announced new dates for the performances as she posted on her Instagram in July.

She wrote in the caption: "Words can’t explain how ecstatic I am to finally be able to announce these rescheduled shows.

"I truly was heartbroken to have to cancel them.

"But after what feels like an eternity of figuring out logistics for the show that I really want to deliver, and knowing it can happen, I’m more excited than ever!

"Now I know for some of you it was a horrible decision on my part, and I will always be sorry for that, but I promise you it was the right one. To be with you in such an intimate space every week has been what I’ve most been looking forward to and I’m going to give you the absolute best of me.

"Thank you for your patience, I love you Adele."
