Ring clue she’s wed sports agent lover

ADELE sparked rumours she has married for a second time by wearing a gold band on her ring finger.

The hugely successful singer, who has been in a romance with US sports agent Rich Paul since early this year, sparked speculatio­n when she was pictured leaving a West London studio on Friday.

She revealed an unusual gold band on her wedding-ring finger as she touched her mask.

Earlier the 33-year-old and Rich, 39, had enjoyed a Chinese meal at the Michelinst­arred Kai Mayfair in the West End.

Rich and Adele, whose divorce was finalised earlier this year, were first spotted in public as a couple in July, enjoying a basketball game in Phoenix, Arizona.

A source did not elaborate on whether or not they had tied the knot.

But they did say: “Adele had been wearing these rings on her right hand but she has decided to put them on her wedding ring finger. Her relationsh­ip with Rich is stronger than ever so an engagement wouldn’t be out of the blue.”

Last night Rich attended the ITV special An Audience With Adele at

the London Palladium.

Laugh

She was joined by stars including comedian Alan Carr, her hero Sir Elton John and Little Mix.

A source said: “Attendees were told there’d be a free bar because Adele wanted to create a laid-back vibe with a pub feel. It was very much about having a good time and a laugh with mates.”

Adele performed her record-breaking number-one single Easy On Me and tracks from her forthcomin­g album, 30.

The one-off performanc­e in front of an audience of friends, family and fans – on TV on November 21 – also included performanc­es of many of her classic hits.

In September she and Rich went “Instagram official”, sharing a blackand-white snap of themselves.

Adele, who won an Oscar for the theme of 2012 Bond film Skyfall, first spoke about the romance in a Vogue interview in October.

She split from husband Simon Konecki, with whom she has a son, in 2019, after a year of marriage.

The songs on 30 seem to give hints at her marriage split, with titles such as Cry Your Heart Out, Love Is A Game and I Drink Wine.

Adele last played in the UK in June 2017, at Wembley Stadium.
