Adele Calls Herself Rich Paul’s ‘Wife’ at Las Vegas Residency Show

Adele is continuing to fuel rumors that she tied the knot with boyfriend Rich Paul.

The star referred to herself as the sports agent’s “wife” on Saturday (Sept. 23) during her Weekends with Adele residency show at The Colosseum in Las Vegas while chatting about sports. She admitted that she’s “not the greatest wife” to Paul since it’s taken her a while to understand American football, as it’s nonexistent in her home country of England. “I have spent a lot of my time trying to understand and also enjoy American football, ’cause I love sports. I actually love watching sports,” she said in a video circulating social media. “I just don’t understand the game, and it’s so annoying because I’m actually quite a clever person. Why does the whistle always get blown? Why is it four yards? Why are there inches? Why does it stop when it gets f—ing exciting?”

She then made the comment referring to herself as “not the greatest wife, really, when it comes to football — even though my partner absolutely loves it.”

The marriage hint comes less than two weeks after Adele called Paul her “husband” at another Vegas show earlier this month. In 2021, Adele started dating sports agent Rich Paul, her first publicly confirmed long-term relationship following her divorce from charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki, which was finalized three years after the “Someone Like You” first filed the petition in 2019.

Billboard has reached out to Adele’s reps for comment.
