Adele and Rich Paul were the picture of newlywed bliss as they watched the LA Lakers take on the Dallas Marvericks in Los Angeles Wednesday.
The singer, 35, shocked fans as she seemingly confirmed that she secretly married the sports agent, 41, by recently making a ‘super cute’ announcement at her close pal Alan Carr’s comedy show.
The couple — who got engaged earlier this year after nearly two years of dating — were seated courtside for the big game at the Crypto.com arena.
Though she did her best to conceal it with the cuff of her knit sweater, Adele did flash her sparkly wedding band during the game.
The Rolling In The Deep hitmaker had a glow about her and couldn’t stop smiling throughout the evening.
For the occasion, Adele wowed in a cozy yet stylish cream sweater and green cargo pants.
The multi-Grammy Award-winner wore her golden hair back in a sleek bun and shiny gold drop earrings by Bottega Veneta that retail for $1,350.
She had a dainty Hermes bag in her lap and she had on white sneakers.
Rich was photographed several times trying to contain his laughter after Adele whispered something funny in his ear during the game.
He was dressed casually in a black zip-up jacket, faded black jeans and a black cap with a green bill.
It proved to be a star-studded night as the likes of Queen Latifah and Lil Wayne also snagged courtside seats.
Adele and Rich were rumored to have tied the knot last year and now she is said to have confirmed the union at her best friend Alan Carr’s comedy show in Los Angeles, with two audience members confirming the news to Deuxmoi.
An onlooker explained: ‘I was at Alan Carr’s comedy show in LA tonight and Adele was in the audience. Alan asked the crowd if anyone got married recently and Adele shouted “I did”.’
Another audience member added of the ‘small and intimate show: ‘When he asked if anyone got married recently she yelled “I did”. Super cute all around and was super sweet but dipped right before it ended.’
They added: ‘Adele was sitting right behind me with a friend having the best time. Her security only came in to bring her snacks.
‘She didn’t care if people knew she was there. She was heckling him – they’re best friends.’
MailOnline has contacted Adele’s representatives for comment.
Last month, Rich, 41, addressed marriage rumours as he told how he and Adele, 35, have ‘helped each other’ during their two-year relationship.
Appearing on CBS Mornings, Rich said of his partner: ‘She’s been great, I think she would agree that we definitely helped each other.
‘I’m in a good space, we’re in a good space. Happy. She’s superb. She’s been great for me. We’ve been great for each other.’
Rich was then asked by CBS host Gayle King about the rumours he and Adele have tied the knot.
The journalist asked whether she should refer to Adele as ‘Mrs. Paul’ the next time she speaks to her.
Richard played coy, saying: ‘You can say whatever you want,’ before adding he is not the ‘type of person to put [his] personal life. It’s not for the media.’
Adele called Rich her husband during her Las Vegas concert in September, sparking speculation that the two have tied the knot.
A woman in the audience screamed out ‘Will you marry me,’ to the Rumor Has It singer during the show, as seen in a TikTok clip.
‘You can’t marry me. I’m straight, my love, and my husband’s here tonight,’ Adele replied.
The fan responded, ‘Can you try?’ and Adele clapped back, ‘No, I don’t want to try. I’m with Rich. You’re crazy, leave me alone.’
The couple first went public with their relationship in July 2021 when they were seated courtside together at an NBA game.
The Grammy winner has been wearing a pear-shaped diamond ring on her left ring finger for about a year.
In the past when asked about it, she commented that it wasn’t an engagement ring, she simply likes high end jewelry.
She met LeBron James’ agent on the dance floor at a mutual friend’s birthday party.
She has frequently praised her boyfriend and called their relationship the easiest one she’d ever been in during an interview with Rolling Stone.
‘He’s just hilarious. Oh, he’s so funny, he’s hilarious, yeah. And very smart. You know, he’s very, very smart. It’s quite incredible watching him do what he does,’ she said about Paul on CBS in 2021.
‘It’s just timing. But it’d be interesting to see what my reaction is like in general to anything that hurts me now that I feel so secure in myself, and I’m talking outside of romance as well.’
In another chat with ELLE she gushed: ‘I’ve never been in love like this. I’m obsessed with him. I definitely want more kids.
‘I’m a homemaker and I’m a matriarch, and a stable life helps me with my music,’ she added. ‘But right now, all I got in my brain is Vegas. I wanna f**king nail it.’
Adele has a ten-year-old son, Angelo, from her three year marriage to Simon Konecki and told the Vegas audience that she was ‘ready to be a mum again soon.’
‘I really want to be a mom again soon,’ Adele said during a sweet exchange with someone in the audience.
