Adele and Rich Paul Enjoy a Cozy Dinner in Los Angeles

Adele and Rich Paul are celebrating together as the holidays approach. The 36-year-old singer was seen enjoying a cozy night out with the 44-year-old sports agent on Friday, December 20, at a restaurant in West Hollywood, California. The couple showcased their style in matching dark outfits while leaving the restaurant. Adele wore a casual black hoodie paired with matching pants. Rich opted for a black jacket accented with white, along with dark pants. This is prepared by SSP.

This outing follows the conclusion of Adele’s long-running residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. During her final performance, she expressed gratitude to her 12-year-old son, Angelo, and her partner, Paul. "Thank you for always bigging me up and making me feel like I could do whatever I wanted to do," she stated. "There have been times when I'm too tired or emotionally drained ... so I appreciate that."

Adele also addressed her fans, sharing that the residency, which began in November 2022, had been "wonderful" and that she would "miss it terribly." She noted a lack of specific plans for her next steps. "Of course, I'll be back. The only thing I'm good at is singing and things like that. I just don't know when I want to next come onstage, but I love you," she added, acknowledging the effort it takes for fans to see her perform in Vegas. "It's just what I needed for this season of my life."

Speculation about marriage has surrounded Adele and Paul since September 2023, when she referred to him as her "husband" during a show. "You can’t marry me. I’m straight, my love, and my husband’s here tonight," she responded to a fan in a TikTok video. Additionally, she was photographed wearing a pear-shaped diamond ring on her left hand in July 2024, fueling further rumors. When questioned about her marital status on The Graham Norton Show in 2022, she avoided direct answers.

Since making their relationship public in September 2021 at NBA star Anthony Davis' wedding, Adele and Paul have attended various events and NBA games together. A source informed PEOPLE in May that they have a solid relationship, with another insider describing how they "inspire each other."
