Adele & Rich Paul Engagement Rumours Fly After Singer’s Seen Wearing Diamond Ring: Report

Since making a bold return with her 30 album in 2021, Adele has been spending plenty of time in the spotlight. Though she won’t be touring around the nation as many other artists do in the wake of releasing a project, she did earn a prestigious Las Vegas residency where fans have been able to watch her perform. As you may recall, the initial kickoff to the series of concerts was rough, with the English vocalist revealing that production delays and the COVID-19 pandemic were to blame for her decision to postpone her shows.

While she clearly had reasons for moving her scheduled dates, at the time, many speculated the real reason for all the drama had to do with Adele’s relationship. Sources claimed that the mother of one and Paul were going through a rough patch and that she spent most of her time in rehearsal crying. Despite last year’s tragic situation, though, the couple appears to be happier than ever as of late.

Adele’s Wild Road to Residency

Last January, Adele faced her fears head-on and explained her residency dilemma in an emotional Instagram video. “I’m gutted — I’m sorry it’s so last minute,” she said through tears. “We’ve been awake for over 30 hours trying to figure it out and we’ve run out of time. I’m so upset and I’m really embarrassed and so sorry to everyone that travelled to get [to the show]. I’m really, really sorry.”

In February 2022, the “Chasing Pavements” artist shut down gossip about feuding with her man on Twitter while announcing a huge TV sitdown with Graham Norton. “Oh, and Rich sends his love,” she cheekily added at the end of the message, making it clear her relationship was in a rock-solid place. Weeks later, engagement rumours ran rampant as Adele went to the annual BRIT Awards with an unmissable diamond ring on her finger.

Past rumours about Paul’s alleged proposal may not have been true, but according to gossip blog DeuxMoi, the pair may have actually taken their relationship to the next level recently. “Per my very reliable sources, I can confirm that yes, Adele and Rich Paul are planning a summer wedding!” they wrote on their Story on Sunday (February 27).

As DailyMail reports, the news comes after the blonde beauty was seen wearing a huge diamond ring, once again, at her concert earlier this weekend. It seems to be the same one from last year’s BRITs, though we’re still waiting for confirmation from the lovers themselves. Over the past few months, we’ve seen the foreign artist and her beau stepping out together frequently, from their date night at the Grammys to the Super Bowl in Arizona.

Nerlens Noel Agrees To Rich Paul Settlement

If you remember, back in 2021, Nerlens Noel attempted to sue Rich Paul for $58 million in lost salary. This all took place because of a grievance Paul filed with the National Basketball Players Association. As the story goes, Paul, who represented Noel with Klutch Sports, hadn’t been paid commission for a $5 million deal with the Knicks.

Noel owed Klutch Sports $200,000, however, he refused to pay the bill. Subsequently, Noel launched the aforementioned lawsuit against Paul where he claimed that the agent was responsible for a missed opportunity. The Detroit Pistons star believes Paul talked him out of a $70 million deal. However, many agents around the league believe Noel is at fault as he ultimately had the final say.

Nerlens Noel Pays Klutch Sports

According to TMZ, Noel has officially decided to reach a settlement with Paul. His lawsuit had been thrown out, so there were no real other options left. Consequently, Paul will be getting a $200,000 payday while Noel continues to think about what could have been.

As you can imagine, Klutch Sports is happy to be done with this chapter. Overall, it was a bad look to have a player saying these things about such a powerful agent. Regardless, even the NBPA wasn’t on Noel’s side here, which is fairly telling.

Rich Paul has some of the biggest clients in the NBA. LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Ben Simmons, and Draymond Green are all under the Klutch Sports umbrella. Needless to say, he has a reputation to uphold.

Adele Sings Happy Birthday To Rich Paul During Las Vegas Show

While performing at her Las Vegas residency show, Adele offered her boyfriend Rich Paul a romantic serenade for his birthday. The Grammy-winning songstress sang happy birthday to the famed sports agent along with the crowd, admitting that she loves him “more than life itself.”

Dressed in a strapless black gown, the “Easy On Me” singer asked her fans, “Can we wish him happy birthday?” adding “his name is Rich.” Adele then sang the classic birthday tune along with the crowd, helping bring in Paul’s 41st birthday. 

The pair have been romantically linked since 2021, and have continued to grow their relationship since. Adele also finalized her divorce from ex-husband Simon Konecki that year, though they had split two years prior.

Gushing about her relationship with Paul, the “Someone Like You” singer recently told Elle, “I’ve never been in love like this. I’m obsessed with him.” 

Adele shares one child with her ex-husband, while Paul has three kids. On whether she’d be open to having more in the future, the 34-year-old shared with the magazine, “I definitely want more kids. I’m a homemaker and I’m a matriarch, and a stable life helps me with my music.”

Her “Weekends with Adele” residency show kicked off this past November, with the London-born singer’s set going until March 2023.

Singing hits like “Rolling in the Deep” and “Water Under The Bridge,” she is currently performing at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, a popular venue on the Las Vegas strip.

Rich Paul Addresses The Most Common Klutch Sports Criticism

Rich Paul is one of the most powerful men in the entire sports world. Of course, he mainly operates within the basketball world through Klutch Sports. He is LeBron James’ agent, and he is also in charge of numerous careers at this point. Needless to say, he has built an incredible empire.

However, there are people out there who believe that Paul’s success is to the detriment of the NBA. For instance, one common opinion held by NBA fans is that every single Klutch Sports athlete is being manipulated to want to play with LeBron. Simply put, Klutch Sports is supposedly a front to further LeBron’s legacy.

Rich Paul Clears The Air

Subsequently, Paul is being asked about this chatter. During an interview with GQ, Paul spoke about his new book called Lucky Me. During this conversation, Paul got to speak about the fans who think every Klutch signing is for LeBron. Paul offered a diplomatic answer that will surely clear the air.

“Well, you have the casual fan that just thinks one-dimensionally,” Paul said. “And in some ways it’s a little disrespectful to who I am, and what I do every day, because people always try to tie it to: because you represent LeBron, and he’s on the Lakers, that everybody you represent, you want to put on the Lakers.

“That can’t be further from the truth. I think it’s important for people to understand that, at the end of the day, I run a business. And my business isn’t predicated on anything outside of making each and every client individually positioned for success.”

At this point, it should be clear that the preconceived notions about Paul are just ridiculous. He is a businessman who knows how to help athletes reach their goals, and that’s what he will continue to do.

LeBron James Trolls His Friends Maverick Carter And Rich Paul For Being Adele And Jay-Z’s Chargers Game ‘Plus-Ones’

There was quite a stir on the internet when British singer Adele “debuted” her new beau Rich Paul after months of low-key “hanging out” (as he put it in an interview in The New Yorker in May), with fans flabbergasted (or outright confused, for the singer’s fans who don’t watch the sportsball) by the seemingly unlikely pairing. Paul, of course, is the agent of NBA superstar LeBron James, who it turns out isn’t above teasing his friend’s PDA with the “Easy On Me” singer, as he did on Twitter last night during the Thursday night football game between the Los Angeles Chargers (still feels weird to type) and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Adele, Paul, and LeBron’s other right-hand man Maverick Carter were all caught on the broadcast along with James’ mentor and favorite rapper Jay-Z, and he couldn’t resist taking the opportunity to troll his friends for being less famous than their companions. “Who the heck are Jay-Z and Adele’s +1s????” he tweeted, adding a monocle emoji for extra effect.

Of course, Mav and Rich are likely used to drawing just a little less attention after growing up with LeBron in Cleveland and helping to manage his career since he was drafted straight out of high school in 2003. Nearly 20 years later, it seems they’re as tight as ever — and enjoying the benefits of it, hanging out not just with LeBron, but with two of the biggest names in entertainment as well.

Oh, and the Chargers lost. Sigh.
