Singer Adele Gets New Man Rich Paul after Divorce
Singer Adele’s boyfriend, Rich Paul, has been spotted in public for the first time since their affair was confirmed with a public display of affection.
He was seen waiting for Adele, outside the Big Apple’s Milk Studios on Saturday, dressed in a casual blue tracksuit.
The lovebirds were later seen leaving the place, with Paul’s hand around the singer.
It was reported that Adele wore a black Balenciaga football top, teaming the luxury piece with ripped jeans and a pair of chic heels.
The British singer was recently spotted laughing and cheering alongside Rich Paul, a sports agent, at Game 5 of the NBA Finals, in which the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Phoenix Suns.
Adele had, in 2019, ended her marriage to Simon Konecki by filing for divorce in Los Angeles.
The estranged couple had announced in a joint statement five months before then that they were splitting after seven years together.
Paul, 40, is worth £34m and agent to NBA legend LeBron James.
As reported by Elle, Paul was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, in the neighbourhood of Glenville. He became a sports agent after meeting a teenaged James at the Akron-Canton Airport in 2002.
“Paul was wearing a Houston Oilers jersey that caught [LeBron] James’s eye, and the two of them stayed in touch, eventually becoming such close confidantes that Paul went to work at Creative Artists Agency, under James’s then-agent Leon Rose. Developing a strong business savvy, he was eventually able to strike out on his own.
Today, Paul has his own agency — Klutch Sports Group, which he started in 2012 — and is one of the most well-known agents in sports.
His clients include James, Philadelphia 76ers player Ben Simmons, Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis, and Golden State Warriors player Draymond Green, among a slew of others.
