Celebrity couple Adele and Rich Paul were spotted courtside at the Crypto.com Arena, enjoying a Los Angeles Lakers game against the Dallas Mavericks. A ring on the singer's correct finger fueled rumors that the couple had already tied the knot.
The Grammy-winning singer, 35, and the sports agent, 41, appeared to be in high spirits, sharing laughter and animated expressions throughout the match, despite the Lakers' 101-104 loss.
Adele, known for her soulful voice and hit songs, dressed comfortably for the evening in a cream sweater, khaki green pants, gold necklaces, and metallic gold chunky earrings.
Rich Paul opted for a black jacket, dark gray jeans, and a black cap. The couple, rumored to be Lakers fans, frequently attends the team's games.
Where the marriage rumors come from?
Speculations about Adele and Paul's marital status arose when Adele referred to Paul as her "husband" during one of her Las Vegas residency shows at Caesar's Palace in September.
The singer playfully responded to a fan, stating, "You can't marry me. I'm straight, my love, and my husband's here tonight." This fueled rumors that the couple had secretly tied the knot.
The recent date night follows claims that Adele made a more explicit announcement about their marriage at her close friend Alan Carr's comedy show in Los Angeles.
Two audience members reportedly confirmed that Adele shouted, "I did," when Carr asked if anyone had recently gotten married. Adele finalized her divorce from Simon Konecki in March 2021, with whom she shares an 11-year-old son named Angelo.
Adele is keeping her private life private
The singer and Paul got engaged earlier this year, and despite keeping their relationship mostly private, they've been occasionally spotted at public events.
While Adele seemed to confirm her marriage during Carr's show, both she and Paul have been somewhat coy about discussing their personal life in the media. Regardless, fans continue to celebrate the couple's happiness and eagerly await any official announcements.
As the pair enjoys public outings and shared moments, the focus remains on their shared love for the Lakers and their seemingly strong connection.
