Sunday Thoughts: 'As He Said'
Adele and her fiancé, Rich Paul, stepped out for a rare date night at the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves game as she continues her indefinite music hiatus.
The couple appeared in good spirits while sitting courtside at the Crypto.com Arena Saturday despite the Lakers losing 95 to 117.
The “Hello” songstress dressed in a gray button-up and matching pants, accessorizing with a tan jacket and gold jewelry.
As for the sports agent, he wore a black long-sleeved shirt and a white baseball cap.
Adele, 36, seemingly enjoyed her night out with Paul, 44, after announcing her break from music in September 2024.
“I will not see you for an incredibly long time, and I will hold you dear in my heart for that whole length of my break,” the “Easy On Me” songstress told fans while performing in Germany.
“I have spent the last seven years building a new life for myself, and I want to live it now,” she emotionally shared. “I want to live my new life that I’ve been building.”
Adele last performed when wrapping up her “Weekends With Adele” Las Vegas residency in November 2024.
At the time, the hitmaker — who is already the mother to her 11-year-old son, Angelo — had previously gushed over her desire to have a baby with Paul when she finished her time in Sin City.
She and Paul, meanwhile, tend to keep their romance under wraps, but occasionally spend time together on low-key date nights and sporting events.
They first sparked dating rumors in July 2021 when they were seen together at the NBA finals.
The following year, the “Someone Like You” singer fueled engagement rumblings with a massive pear ring she wore to the 2022 Brit Awards.
Adele, however, vaguely opened up about her and Paul’s romance while performing at her Vegas residency from 2022 to 2024.
While on stage in 2023, the 16-time Grammy winner told a fan that she couldn’t marry them because her husband was in the crowd.
“I’m with Rich. You’re crazy, leave me alone,” she quipped.
At the time, the duo didn’t deny marriage rumors, but Adele confirmed she and Paul were engaged in August 2024 while turning down another fan proposal.
“I can’t marry you because I’m already getting married so I can’t,” the “Skyfall” singer said while holding up her ring during a show in Germany.
Rich supported Adele at several of her shows and ensured to attend her final weekend in Las Vegas last November.
A clip from the show saw the pop icon kissing Paul while wandering into the crowd and singing her 2015 track “When We Were Young.”
