"I've never been in love like this," she told the magazine. "I'm obsessed with him."

She shut down the engagement rumors after she was spotted with a sparkler on her left ring finger. She explained that she just wore a large piece of jewelry that she really liked and joked about the rumors, saying she "might as well be married" due to how in love she was with Paul. She also added that she had plans to expand her family.

"I definitely want more kids," the mother of one said. "I'm a homemaker, and I'm a matriarch, and a stable life helps me with my music. But right now, all I got in my brain is Vegas." She added, "I wanna f--king nail it."

The singer also opened up about her romance with the sports agent in her interview with Vogue U.K. as the magazine's cover for its November 2021 issue. In the interview, she confirmed their relationship before adding that they were "very happy."

Adele and Paul had been friends for years before they started dating. The singer said, "He was always there, I just didn't see him."

"I just love being around him. I just love it," Adele shared about being with her beau. "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, 'OK, cool.'"

Adele, who divorced her ex-husband Simon Konecki in 2019, admitted that she dated before Rich. However, her dates reportedly found it stressful to be with her, so things never evolved. But things were different with Paul.

"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," Adele said of her boyfriend's reaction when they go out in public. "He's great. He's so f--kng funny. He's so smart, you know."
