Adele Called Rich Paul Her "Husband" During a Las Vegas Concert

Adele is once again keeping everyone guessing when it comes to her relationship status with boyfriend (er, husband?) Rich Paul.

A year after initially sparking, and subsequently squashing, marriage rumors with a pear-shaped diamond ring on her left hand, the songstress had the internet in a tizzy once again when she referred to Paul as her "husband" in front of thousands of people during a Las Vegas concert over the weekend. 

In a clip shared to TikTok, Adele can be seen fielding questions from the audience, and when one asked if she could marry the Grammy winner, she responded: "You can't marry me, I'm straight, my love," adding: "And my husband's here tonight. He's here." The off-the-cuff remark caught the attention of her many fans, with one writing in the comments section, "her husband??? omgg Adele Paul??"

Another added, “Excuse me miss ma’am your whatttt??," while a third commented, "No. Stop. MOTHER IS MARRIED??"

Adele was first linked to Paul in July 2021 after they were spotted at Game 5 of the NBA Finals together, looking very much like a couple. Two months later, they made things Instagram official with a cozied-up snap at a wedding. Since then, the "Rumor Has It" singer — who was previously married to entrepreneur Simon Konecki — has gushed about the sports agent publicly, calling him "incredible" and "openhearted," as well as stating that their relationship is the "easiest" one she's ever been in. 

While marriage is TBD, Adele has said that she's "ready to be a mom again soon." During another one of her Las Vegas concerts this year, Adele told a pregnant concertgoer that she's already been "writing lists" of baby names (Parker and Spencer are top picks for a girl), explaing, "Every time I see a name that I like, I write it down in my phone.”
