Adele may or may not have already walked down the aisle and officially become the one and only Mrs. Rich Paul!

Fans of the "Easy on Me" have long suspected she may have already married her boyfriend, Rich Paul, but after she branded him her "husband" at her latest concert, now they are really convinced.

The Grammy-winning artist, 35, and the sports agent, 41, have been dating since 2021, and recently bought a home together. She was previously married to Simon Konecki from 2018 to 2021, and they share son Angelo, ten.

Over the weekend during Adele's residency in Las Vegas, she sparked not just engagement rumors but marriage rumors after she turned down a fan's proposal, claiming her "husband," aka Rich, was in the audience.

In videos shared across social media, the star is seen telling a female concert-goer: "You can't marry me. I'm straight, my love," adding: "And my husband is here tonight."

After the fan encouraged her to "try" to accept the proposal, Adele maintained: "No, I don't want to try! I'm with Rich," and joked: "You're crazy, leave me alone."
