On April 19, 2025, Adele and her fiancé, sports agent Rich Paul, were spotted courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers game, marking a rare public outing for the couple. This appearance comes amid Adele’s ongoing hiatus from music, which she announced in September 2024, expressing a desire to focus on personal life and creative pursuits. ​

During a concert in Munich in August 2024, Adele confirmed her engagement to Paul, responding to a fan’s marriage proposal by revealing she was already getting married. The couple has maintained a relatively private relationship since going public in 2021, with Adele often praising Paul’s intelligence and humor in interviews. ​

Their recent appearance at the Lakers game was met with enthusiasm from fans, who were delighted to see the couple enjoying a night out together. As Adele continues her break from the spotlight, moments like these offer glimpses into her personal life and the supportive partnership she shares with Paul.​
