AceShowbiz - Adele is showing the world how much she loves Rich Paul. The "Easy on Me" hitmaker beautifully sings a special rendition of "Happy Birthday" to her boyfriend, who recently turned 41 years old.
The 34-year-old chart-topping singer/songstress paid tribute to her partner while she was onstage for her "Weekends With Adele" Las Vegas residency on Saturday, December 17. "Quickly, it's my boyfriend's birthday today," she could be heard telling the crowd in videos surfacing online. "And I love him more than life itself, so can we wish him happy birthday? His name is Rich!"
Adele then led the audience in serenading Rich, who was in attendance at the show with his daughter Reonna. The "I Drink Wine" singer looked stunning in a black off-the-shoulder gown for the special moment.
Adele and Rich are said to have first met at a party several years ago but didn't start dating until much later. They first went public with their romance in July 2021 when they were pictured attending a basketball game together. In May this year, they moved into their new home, formerly owned by Sylvester Stallone.
Earlier this month, it's said that Adele is planning a spring 2023 wedding, with a source noting that a New Year's Eve wedding could be on the cards. "She's just being completely honest about how in love she is. He's a very chilled person so is happy to go with the flow and take their time planning," the so-called insider shared, "But if Adele wants a wedding soon, he'll probably say yes. Pals hint they could even imagine a New Year's Eve wedding so the pair can ring in 2023 as husband and wife."
More recently, a source close to Adele told Radar Online that Adele has "begged" Rich to "elope on countless occasions, and now has set her heart on doing it in Las Vegas sooner than later." However, Rich doesn't seem to have the same urgency. "He's happy with the way things are for now, wanting to get through the holidays and dealing with formalities including the prenup," a separate source claimed.
"In fact, she's at the point where's ready to say, 'Marry me or move on!' " the insider further explained, "The two have been brainstorming a big, fancy wedding in Los Angeles, but Adele doesn't want to wait that long to make it official." It's also said that "Rich would prefer to take more time. But at the end of the day, Adele's the boss and gets what she wants."
