Adele cuddles up to new boyfriend Rich Paul at star-studded Lakers game

Adele was absolutely beaming as she sat with her businessman boyfriend Rich Paul curtsied at an LA Lakers game on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old chart topping star is head over heels in love with 39-year-old sports agent Rich – and it was clear for all to see just how happy she is as she flashed a winning smile while snuggled up against him.

Adele and Rich were cheering from the sidelines while the Lakers took on the Golden State Warriors at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles.

The singer sat with her knees pointed towards her love – a sign that any Clueless fan will recall is a clear message of attraction.

While she also leant in close against Rich as they watched the sport starts race around the court during the high energy match.

Adele looked every inch the A-Lister as she sat wearing dark brown vinyl trousers and a matching top – while also draping a brown Louis Vuitton coat over her shoulders.

Rich looked smart casual in khaki coloured trousers, an olive colour coat, and added a touch of Bond-chic style by wearing a black roll top jumper.

It was a star studded event as other high profile stars were in attendance – with Canadian pop star Justin Bieber and his longtime mentor Usher seen catching up with each other as they sat courtside too.

Comedian Kevin Hart was spotted dashing over to Justin and Usher for a chat during a break in play as the night went on.

Singer Saweetie was also among the crowds – drawing attention in an impossibly bright lime green coat and matching coloured bra-top and similar coloured heels.

While acting legend Jack Nicholson also attended the big game.

Further music stars at the event included Kid Cudi, Lil Wayne – who brought his son along to the game – and rapper Rich The Kid.

While there was plenty of action on court, many could not help but notice Adele and Rich looking loved up as they sat together.

The businessman is Adele’s first public, high-profile romance since her divorce from husband Simon Konecki – who she married in 2016, split from in 2019, and finalised their divorce this year.

Adele has gushed about her new romance – telling Vogue magazine she felt comfortable around him, saying: “I don't feel anxious or nervous or frazzled. It’s quite the opposite.”

She added: “He’s great. He’s so f**kng funny. He’s so smart, you know.”

Adele also insisted that she isn't the one being asked to prop Rich up at basketball games in order to support him in his line of work.

She said: "I didn’t get dragged along to the [basketball game the other night] because that’s his line of work. I was like, ‘We’re going to the game'."

Sources close to the star previously explained how close the pair are, with a source telling Heat: "Adele and Rich are joined at the hip and are falling more in love each day.

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