The August 2024 Engagement: How Adele Confirmed the News
For years, the couple was plagued by rumors of a secret marriage or engagement, often fueled by Adele wearing a large diamond ring on her left hand. However, the official confirmation came from the singer herself in the most Adele-like way: a casual, heartfelt moment with a fan.
The Munich Residency Moment
On August 9, 2024, during her 10-night residency in Munich, Germany, Adele was interacting with the crowd when a fan playfully proposed to her. Adele’s response was immediate and definitive, finally putting years of speculation to rest. "I can't marry you, I'm getting married," she reportedly told the fan, with a wide smile. This off-the-cuff announcement instantly went viral, confirming that she and Rich Paul were indeed taking the next step toward marriage.
The Ring and the Rumors
The engagement rumors first intensified in February 2022 when Adele appeared at the BRIT Awards wearing a massive pear-shaped diamond ring. While she remained coy about the ring's significance for months, the August 2024 confirmation in Munich—followed by her continued wearing of the ring—has cemented its status as her engagement ring.

In 2012, Paul made the bold move to strike out on his own, founding Klutch Sports Group. His philosophy—often referred to as "The Klutch Rule"—focused on empowering athletes to take control of their careers, leading to high-profile moves like LeBron James's return to Cleveland and his eventual move to the Los Angeles Lakers. Today, Klutch Sports Group is a dominant force, with client contracts totaling over $1.4 billion.
