Adele told Vogue, ‘I didn’t mean to go public with it. I just wanted to go to the game. I just love being around him. I just love it.’
She continued, ‘The topic did come up on the way to the game, though. He was like, ‘What are people going to say?’ And I was like, ‘That you signed me. As an athlete. You’re my agent’. And he was like, ‘Okay, cool’.’

Adele, who finalized her divorce from her charity executive husband Simon Konecki in March after five years of marriage, went on to say, ‘I did date before Rich, but they hated it. They’d find it stressful being out or seen with me…Whereas he’s not frazzled by it at all.
‘It feels like it’s consistent and considerate enough that I don’t care who knows. He’s great. He’s so f**king funny. He’s so smart, you know.’
The hitmaker said that Paul has already met her eight-year-old son Angelo, whom she shares with Konecki, and she has been spending time Rich’s three children.
