Adele made a rare public appearance with her fiancé, Rich Paul, as the couple enjoyed a night at the NBA Playoffs. The pair were courtside for game one of the series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Minnesota Timberwolves, where they were spotted enjoying each other’s company despite the home team’s loss.
Dressed casually for the occasion, Rich wore a baseball cap and black sweatshirt, while Adele opted for an oversized shirt, matching the laid-back vibe. Though the Lakers, including Rich’s client LeBron James, were defeated, the couple appeared to be having a great time together.
After wrapping up her two-year residency in Las Vegas, Adele has been taking some well-deserved time off from music, announcing an indefinite hiatus. Reflecting on her decision to step back, she expressed, “It’s time for the next chapter and it’s time for the next season of my life.”
While Adele and Rich typically keep their relationship private, their support for the Lakers has frequently brought them into the public eye, especially given Rich’s role as a sports agent. The couple has also kept fans guessing about their marital status. Though Adele referred to Rich as her “husband” during a November 2023 show, the couple later clarified they were not yet married. In August 2024, Adele confirmed their engagement during a residency in Munich, showcasing her engagement ring to the excited crowd.
