Oh my God. Is Adele getting married to Rich Paul?
We’re not sure, but the “Hello” singer sparked rumors because of the massive diamond she wore on her left hand to the Brit Awards on Tuesday, February 8. For the British music awards show, Adele took home three awards: artist of the year, Mastercard album of the year for 30, her critically acclaimed divorce album, and song of the year for “Easy on Me,” the first single from the album.
For the event, Adele wore a custom velvet column gown. The dress is black with long sleeves and a deep V-neck. A sheer, sparkly polka-dot detailing lies along the neckline and hangs off the back of the dress like a fancy sophisticated cape. Adele had her hair down in a sleek and smooth look and wore her signature cat-eye makeup and a rosy lip. For jewelry, she opted for silver drop earrings and, naturally, that pear-shaped massive Lorraine Schwartz diamond ring on her left hand.
Check out the full look, including a close-up of the ring, below:
Adele’s ring immediately got people talking—and speculating about the status of her relationship with her current beau, sports agent Rich Paul.

Reports first circulated that Adele was dating Rich Paul last summer, and they went Instagram-official (how else would we know they were dating?) in September 2021. While promoting 30, which chronicles her 2019 divorce from Simon Konecki, she has been super candid about her relationship.
In an interview with in November 2021, Adele said she was embarrassed when news of the divorce first came out: “During something like that, that kind of significant thing to happen in life, your mind sort of goes to those places,” Adele said. “‘Why don’t they like me? Why would they write that if they’ve followed me for 10 years?’ But in reality, that’s not their responsibility. In reality, their responsibility as a fan is to want a good record and to hope I deliver. So I took it with a pinch of salt, and it was fine.”
Adele has yet to confirm whether the gorgeous, very large rock she wore to the Brit Awards is an engagement ring. In the meantime, I’ll go listen to 30 again.
