Adele has a new boyfriend

Since Adele and LeBron James’ agent Rich Paul were spotted together this summer, rumors that they are dating have been circulating the internet. (Not to be overlooked as “Adele is dating LeBron James” – an easy mistake to make, and one that has led me to imagine a world in which LeBron and Adele regularly make “Carpool Karaoke.”) Now it looks like Adele has finally confirmed the relationship, posting a photo with Paul on Instagram, which “Page Six” says is from the wedding of NBA star Anthony Davis in LA this Saturday.

In July, Adele and Paul were first seen together on the court in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. After the match, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst appeared to confirm the two were dating in an episode of the sports podcast Lowe’s post, referring to Adele as Paul’s girlfriend. Since then, the couple have been spotted together more and more often, including having dinner in New York and Los Angeles and attending a 35th birthday party for LeBron James’ wife Savanna James.

This is Adele’s first public relationship since her divorce in 2019. Last year, Adele was linked to British rapper Skepta, although it appears the relationship may have been platonic. That same year, Adele was spotted on a boat with Harry Styles, but again, this seems to have been more of a fanfiction than confirming a relationship.

While it is not known how they met, Paul apparently has some background in the music industry, as Drake credits the sports agent with convincing him to make “Best I Ever Had” his single. main of a first mixtape. The song became Drake’s first single in the top 10. Maybe Paul can bring that expertise to – oh, I don’t know – Adele’s new album ???
