In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, the 'Rolling in the Deep' singer opened up about first meeting Rich Paul. "I met him at a birthday party, we were on the dance floor," she said.
"And then we met a couple years later. We went out for dinner, which he says was a business meeting, and I'm like, 'A business meeting about what?' And then it was the first time we hung out on our own."
She continued: "He's just hilarious. He's so funny. And very smart. Very, very smart. It's quite incredible watching him do what he does and just the easiness of it and very smooth."
In 2022, Adele sparked engagement rumours after wearing a diamond ring at the 2022 BRIT Awards. She later addressed the speculation in an interview with Elle, saying: "I'm not married! I'm just in loooove! I'm happy as I'll ever be. I might as well be married."
