ADELE'S Secret Wedding

After less than two months of dating, the singer and her sports agent love are prepping to make things official

It was a head-turning triple date — especially for basketball fans. But what really caused a stir when Adele and her sports agent boyfriend Rich Paul dined with NBA superstar Richard Westbrook and the legendary Lebron James and their wives, on Aug. 1 at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, was the singer’s no-longer-bare engagement-ring finger. Dressed down in a leather jacket and sweats, the “Hello” singer appeared to be sporting a brandnew sparkler. “Adele and Rich’s whirlwind romance has everybody buzzing,” says an insider of the lovebirds, who’ve been spotted cozying up together everywhere from NYC and the Hamptons to Phoenix since July. “Things between them have been moving really quickly.”

And there are no signs of stopping. In fact, Life & Style has learned that Adele’s closest friends are convinced that a secret wedding is in the works after the Brit cryptically checked on their upcoming availability. “Some people think it could be in regards to an engagement party, but Adele and Rich really are ready to get married,” insists an insider. “They’ve even drafted their vows already!”

DRESSED TO IMPRESS

Rich, 39, may be at a loss for words, though, once he sees the Jenny Packham wedding dress the insider says Adele, 33, has picked out. “It’s formfitting and white, with lace, beads and plenty of cleavage,” the insider reveals, explaining that the star is eager to show off her 100-pound weight loss. “She’s excited for her friends to see her!”

What a group of friends it will be. According to the insider, the guest list reads like a who’s who of Hollywood, with top athletes, recording artists and movie stars on the seating chart (see sidebar). “Of course, both of their families will be there,” says the insider, who adds that Adele’s pals Emma Stone, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, as well as his bigname clients like Tristan Thompson,, are also expected to be invited. “It will be quite an eclectic group!”

FINDING A PERFECT VENUE

They'll celebrate in style. Italian delicacies — including a tiramisu cake — are set to be served in stunning surroundings. “Rich has a lavish home in Beverly Hills, so it could be there, but she’s talked, too, about tying the knot somewhere like the Downton Abbey castle — a place that’s quintessentially British,” shares the insider. “They have options to decide between.”

The one thing that won’t be an option? Cold feet. Despite the fact that the couple have been dating for less than two months, Adele and Rich seem certain they’ve found true love. “Rumor has it they’ve come up with sweet inscriptions to put on the inside of their wedding bands,” the insider notes. “Adele just can’t wait to marry Rich.”
