Adele's Partner Rich Paul Hints at Marital Status in Rare Interview

Adele, Rich Paul

Adele typically shies away from speaking about her personal life, but earlier this year, the 35-year-old singer made a comment that led to rumors of marriage with her partner Rich Paul. 

In a rare new interview, the Klutch Sports Group CEO, 41, slyly hinted at their relationship status.

Paul, who has been with Adele since 2021, spoke with Gayle King on Monday, Oct. 9, on CBS Mornings about a variety of topics, including his new memoir, Lucky Me: A Memoir of Changing the Odds. During the chat, he said of his relationship, “We’re in a good space. Happy. She’s superb," later adding, “We’ve been great for each other."

But Paul also clarified that he won't go into specifics, as he's "not the type of person” to be really open about his private life. He then stuck to this statement when King tried to subtly ask whether or not Paul and Adele were married.

She asked the 41-year-old, “When I see [Adele], should I say ‘Hi, Mrs. Paul?’" Paul laughed and said, "You can say whatever you want," smoothly avoiding answering the question.

Paul further explained to King, “It’s not for the media. It’s not for paparazzi. It’s for us.”

The rumors that Adele and Paul were married started when the "Send My Love" singer responded to a female fan's question of marriage at her Las Vegas concert by saying, "You can’t marry me. I’m straight, my love. And my husband’s here tonight."

The fan jokingly replied, "Can you try?" and Adele declared back, "Oh, no. I don't want to try, I'm with Rich." A clip of the moment quickly went viral on TikTok.

Since then, Adele hasn't said anything further about her relationship with Paul.
