LeBron agent James Rich Paul and Adele date as singer makes rare appearance at NBA Finals

LeBron James’ agent Rich Paul is dating singer Adele, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst said on a late-night podcast after Game 5 of Saturday’s NBA Finals between Milwaukee and Phoenix.

James, whose movie “Space Jam 2: A New Legacy” has just been released, attended Game 5 to support his good friend Chris Paul of the Phoenix Suns. Paul and Adele were also seated next to the field at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.

“Rich Paul brings his girlfriend to the game to sit next to LeBron. His girlfriend is Adele,” Windhorst said. “Rich Paul is at the game with Adele.… This is their first time dating in public. So it will be all over the tabloids, especially in England tomorrow.”

Adele, who won 15 Grammy Awards, finalized her divorce from ex-husband Simon Konecki earlier this year. She hosted “Saturday Night Live” in October but did not perform.

“I know there’s been a lot of talk about being just the host. I’ve seen it all. Like, why isn’t she the musical guest?” she said, according to the Associated Press. “There are a number of reasons. My album isn’t finished and I’m also too scared to do both. I’d rather just put on wigs … have a glass of wine or six and see what happens.”

Also in attendance for Game 5: Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, rapper Lil Wayne and actor / singer Vanessa Hudgens, who sang the national anthem.
