Heartbreak might be the central theme of many of Adele’s songs, but the 34-year-old is making no secret of her romance with sports agent, Rich Paul. The couple had been friends for some time before going public with their relationship in July 2021 and buying a Beverley Hill mansion together this year. And she gets candid about her love life as she stars on the September cover of Elle magazine. “I’ve never been in love like this. I’m obsessed with him”, she divulges.
Adele credits Rich with encouraging her to live her life and stop avoiding things because of her fame. After revealing she wanted to holiday in Italy, but was nervous of cameras, “He was like, ‘You would let that stop you from going to the place that you most want to go on vacation?’,” she details. “He’s like, ‘For one photograph, what’s the worst that can happen?” And so the happy couple jetted off to Porto Cervo, Italy, in July for a well-earned getaway.
“I’m a homemaker and I’m a matriarch, and a stable life helps me with my music”
In the interview, she also addresses rumours that the couple are engaged after the “Hello” singer was spotted with a giant diamond on her finger at the Brits – but remains mostly tight-lipped. “I’m just in loooove! I’m happy as I’ll ever be. I might as well be married.” She has also been open about her desire to have more kids to join her blended family with son, Angelo, who she shares with ex-husband Simon Konecki, and Rich’s three kids from a previous relationship. “I’m a homemaker and I’m a matriarch, and a stable life helps me with my music.”
