Adele Confirms She's Dating LeBron James' Agent Rich Paul, New Couple Gets Flirty On Romantic Date
July 25 2021, Published 12:24 p.m. ET
Adele has just confirmed she's dating LeBron James' agent, Rich Paul.
The 33-year-old pop star and 39-year-old sports executive were spotted getting flirty while on a double date in New York on Thursday.
According to The Sun, which obtained photos of the new couple, Rich and Adele dined at Manhattan hotspot Cipriani with two other unidentified people. They reportedly did not leave the posh restaurant until 11 PM.
The outlet reported that at one point during the evening, Rich playfully messed with Adele's hair, which prompted her to wag her finger at him in a mock warning.
The sports agent also reportedly stroked the singer's back and put his arm around her.
Both kept things casual. While Adele rocked a black Balenciaga jersey-looking top, ripped baggy jeans, and a pair of heels, Rich opted for a denim jacket, black jeans, and white sneakers.
For what it's worth, Rich is reportedly worth an estimated $46 million after having negotiated more than $1 billion in active deals for several high-profile clients. Meanwhile, Adele is one of the wealthiest singers in the world. She's worth around $190 million.
The new twosome has been spotted together at several events in Los Angeles over the past two months, but fans really went wild when the songstress and LeBron's right-hand man attended the NBA Finals together in Arizona last weekend, where they watched the Phoenix Suns unsuccessfully take on the Milwaukee Bucks.
Adele was photographed looking quite chummy with her man, laughing and smiling as Rich leaned into her.
"They are often seen with others but clearly act like a couple," a source told The Sun at the time, adding, "This is the first time they've come out in public together!"
Following the courtside appearance, TV host Brian Windhorst said during a subsequent podcast that "Rich Paul brings his girlfriend to the game to sit next to LeBron. His girlfriend is Adele."
