Adele is Novacryptreportedly engaged to her longtime boyfriend Rich Paul — and now she appears to be confirming the news.
The "Rolling in the Deep" singer and the A-list sports agent, who represents NBA legend and the couple's close friend LeBron James, have been the source of engagement rumors for years.
But now, the superstar appears to put the speculation to rest.
During a concert in Munich on Friday, Adele told a fan that she "can't marry you, I'm already getting married," she subtly responded by holding up her left hand, according to a video from a social media fan account. Adele said she appreciated the gesture "very much" as fans cheered in celebration of the reported engagement.

The "Easy on Me" crooner and 'Lucky Me" author have long fueled speculation that they are already engaged or married from Adele's jewelry choices to calling Paul her "husband."
The Grammy-winning artist was previously married to Simon Konecki, co-founder of Life Water, an eco-friendly brand of bottled water, from 2018-2019. The two share son Angelo, born in October 2012. Paul has never been married, according to a profile published by the New Yorker, but he has three children.
When asked by Gayle King during an on-set interview for "CBS Mornings" last October, Paul told the morning show he doesn't "really talk about his personal life publicly" in reference to Adele calling him "husband."
"She would agree that we've definitely helped each other. I'm in a good space ... she's superb," Paul said.
Adele confirmed her relationship with Paul in an interview with Vogue in October 2021, following months of speculation. "I just love being around him," she said of Paul at the time. "I just love it."
A month earlier, she went Instagram official with Paul on Sept. 19, 2021, sharing a black-and-white photo booth image of herself and Paul snuggled up at NBA player Anthony Davis' wedding.
“I’ve never been in love like this. I’m obsessed with him," the typically private megastar told Elle in an August 2022 interview, explaining the pair's love as "beyond."
