Taking the next step? Adele was photographed wearing a large diamond ring at the 42nd Brit Awards in London — and the stunning accessory had people talking.
Before taking home the Song of the Year trophy for “Easy on Me” at the event on Tuesday, February 8, Adele, 33, walked down the red carpet in a sleek black Giorgio Armani Privé gown. The performer showed off a sparkler on her left ring finger, quickly igniting engagement rumors amid her romance with Rich Paul.
The duo were first linked in July 2021 when they were spotted together at a basketball game. At the time, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Adele and Paul, 40, had been dating “for months” before making their public appearance.
“He’s very shy and keeps a low profile when they go out, whereas Adele is super sociable,” the insider noted. “The people they hang out with know them both personally already, so they don’t have to introduce each other, which is probably why nobody picked up on their relationship sooner.”
The U.K. native made her new relationship Instagram official in September 2021, shortly after she finalized her divorce from Simon Konecki. The exes, who share 9-year-old son Angelo, called it quits in April 2019 after seven years together.
Though she’d been relatively private about her split, the “Rolling in the Deep” singer opened up about the end of her marriage in October 2021, telling Vogue, “Neither of us did anything wrong. Neither of us hurt each other or anything like that. It was just: I want my son to see me really love, and be loved. It’s really important to me.”
Adele confessed that she “wasn’t happy” throughout her relationship with Konecki, 47, but she felt a difference with Paul.
“I don’t feel anxious or nervous or frazzled,” she told
