Someone like him! Adele<\/strong><\/a> is the queen of emotional breakup songs, but in her real life, she\u2019s been more successful at finding love.<\/p>\n The Grammy winner was first spotted with her boyfriend, Rich Paul<\/strong><\/a>, in July 2021 attending Game 5 of the NBA Finals<\/a>. Though that was their first time in public, a source exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> at the time<\/a> that the duo had been dating \u201cfor months\u201d before the game.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s very shy and keeps a low profile when they go out, whereas Adele is super sociable,\u201d the insider added, noting that the pair managed to stay under the radar by mingling with the same inner circle. \u201cThe people they hang out with know them both personally already, so they don\u2019t have to introduce each other, which is probably why nobody picked up on their relationship sooner.\u201d<\/p>\n Two months later, the couple made things Instagram official<\/a> when the \u201cEasy on Me\u201d songstress shared a photo of the duo dressed up to attend<\/a> NBA star Anthony Davis<\/strong>\u2018 wedding to Marlen P<\/strong>. (Paul, a sports agent, represents Davis as well as his Los Angeles Lakers teammate LeBron James<\/strong><\/a>.)<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re very committed at this point and it\u2019s hard to imagine they won\u2019t be together for an extremely long time,\u201d a source told Us<\/em> of Adele and her beau<\/a> in October 2021, adding that the twosome \u201ccomplement each other\u201d very well. \u201cShe really feels like she hit the jackpot.\u201d<\/p>\n The Oscar winner was previously married to Simon Konecki<\/strong><\/a>, with whom she welcomed son Angelo in October 2012. The former couple called it quits in April 2019 after seven years<\/a> together and finalized their divorce in early 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI was just going through the motions and I wasn\u2019t happy,\u201d she told Vogue<\/em> of her marriage<\/a> in October 2021. \u201cNeither 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\u2019s really important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n In the same interview, the \u201cRolling in the Deep\u201d singer revealed that she\u2019d actually met Paul years before their romance began. \u201cHe was always there, I just didn\u2019t see him,\u201d she explained, adding that they reconnected at a party a \u201ccouple\u201d of years earlier. \u201cHe was dancing. All the other guys were just sitting around. He was just dancing away.\u201d<\/p>\n That infectious charm is one of the things that captivated Adele from the start. \u201cHe\u2019s always making her feel special and doesn\u2019t have a single drop of selfishness or meanness in his body,\u201d an insider told Us<\/em> in October 2021.<\/p>\n
