Adele finally confirmed she and Rich Paul are engaged after over three years of dating.

The “Hello” singer announced the exciting news during her concert in Munich, Germany on Thursday after a fan jokingly asked for her hand in marriage.

“I can’t marry you because I’m already getting married so I can’t,” she said while holding up her left hand to signal an engagement.

Although she wasn’t wearing a ring, the British singer was seen with a massive pear-shaped diamond on that finger while in her home country last month.

However, the pair first sparked longtime engagement rumors when the singer showed up to her Las Vegas residency in February 2022 with a diamond ring estimated to be worth over $1 million.

Adele, 36, and the sports agent, 42, have been dating since summer 2021.

They were first spotted together at Game 5 of the NBA Finals in July 2021. Days later, Page Six exclusively confirmed that they were an item.

After that, they made several public appearances together before officially making their love public on Instagram. Adele shared a snap of them together along with a red heart emoji in September 2021.

The singer also indicated in 2022 that she had plans to marry Paul and that she even was ready to have another baby.

“It is absolutely 100 percent happening this year. It has to happen this year because I’ve got plans for next year,” Adele said on “The Graham Norton Show” ahead of her Las Vegas residency. “Imagine if I have to cancel because I am having a baby?”

But their relationship seemingly appeared to hit a rocky patch last February when Page Six reported that Adele and Rich had been fighting. Their volatile relationship was apparently one of the reasons why she postponed her residency.

“Adele is very emotional and dramatic. He’s an NBA guy who has to go on the road — they are very different — and they hit a rough patch,” a source told us at the time.

Sources also told us at the time that Adele was constantly crying and shouting on the phone with Paul during rehearsals.

And things seemed on the rocks last May when Page Six exclusively reported that Paul was spotted partying with his client LeBron James in Miami on Adele’s 34th birthday.

But that August, the duo seemed to be going strong when Adele purchased a $58 million love nest in Beverly Hills for her and Paul.

That same month, rumors swirled that Paul had popped the question, but Adele denied that they were engaged.

Adele and Paul struck up their relationship shortly after she finalized her divorce from Simon Konecki, with whom she shares 10-year-old son Angelo.

Adele detailed the pain of her divorce to her son in a heartbreaking voice note included on her album “30,” which dropped in November 2021.

Reps for Adele and Paul did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
