Rich Paul sparks rumours he has secretly married Adele after calling the singer 'my wife' in a word-search video

Sports agent Rich Paul, 45, let slip the phrase 'my wife do them every morning' during a rapid-fire word-search challenge filmed for Media Haus Co, prompting immediate fan speculation that he and Adele, 38, have already wed in secret. The clip, shared on 25 October, is the latest in a string of hints from both partners that a private ceremony has already taken place.

Adele herself fuelled the rumours in August 2024, telling her Munich concert crowd: 'I can't marry you, I'm already getting married.'

The pair have been together since July 2021 and have consistently kept relationship milestones private, announcing them on their own terms.

Online gossip site Deuxmoi claimed as far back as November 2023 that Adele had privately confirmed the marriage to friends.
