Adele sparked chatter about a possible marriage while appearing on Alan Carr’s Los Angeles show, a note picked up by the Daily Mail. The singer was part of the audience when Carr urged viewers to share any recent wedding news, and one audience member reportedly proclaimed that they themselves had just tied the knot. Another attendee corroborated the moment, describing Adele as relaxed in the hall and noting a surprisingly lax security vibe that night.
Meanwhile, at the end of September, Adele was on stage for a Las Vegas concert, and the topic of marriage briefly floated through the atmosphere. She hinted that she might already be married and suggested her partner was among the guests. She didn’t publicly name the person, but it is well known that she has been linked with basketball executive Rich Paul for about two years.
Rumors about a possible wedding were circulating as far back as September 2022, when reporters spotted a book in Adele’s home titled The Pauls, which many readers interpreted as a clue about her husband’s surname being plural. The broader arc of her personal life has drawn intense public interest for years.
The artist had previously separated from entrepreneur Simon Konecki in April 2019 after a marriage lasting three years. They had begun dating in 2011 and welcomed a son together during their time as a couple.
Earlier remarks from colleagues and observers have often touched on the rapid pace of public fascination surrounding Adele and her relationships, a phenomenon that continues to fuel ongoing discussions about privacy, fame, and the realities of being a global music icon in the modern media landscape.
