Are Adele and Rich Paul married?
A video captures an interaction between Adele and a fan at the singer’s Las Vegas performance.
In the video, Adele jokingly responds to the fan’s marriage proposal with a comment that leaves viewers…speculating.
In response to the proposal, Adele playfully jokes:
“You can’t marry me—I’m straight, my love. And my husband’s here tonight, he’s here.”
Yup, she dropped the “H” word.

According to reports by Harpers Bazaar, days later, Adele playfully referred to herself as a “wife” again, when discussing Rich’s love for football.
She joked: “[I’m] not the greatest wife when it comes to football—even though my partner absolutely loves it.”

Adding more fuel to the fire, Adele revealed her desire to become a mom again when she helped a pregnant fan choose a baby name. In a video shared to TikTok, Adele holds the microphone up to her fan during a live show. The fan says:
“So, I’m pregnant with my first kid. I just found out that I’m having a girl. And my husband and I cannot for the life of us figure out what name we want.”
To which Adele responds:
“Well, I really want to be a mum again, so every time I see a name that I like, I write it down on my phone.”
The fan then goes on to reveal the two baby names she has in mind, asking Adele to help her pick:
“We have two names we’ve been going back and forth with. I like boy names for girls – Parker and Spencer.
Adele responds:
“Well, I can’t say Parker because Rich likes that name…I’ll say Spencer. I like Spencer.”
