Adele sparked rumours sheโ€™s dating sports agent Rich Paul after they were spotted together at the NBA Finals over the weekend.

The 33-year-old singer and the well-known agent were sat courtside together at the game on Saturday (17.07.21), and speculation about their relationship status intensified after ESPNโ€™s Brian Windhorst referred to the โ€˜Skyfallโ€™ singer as Richโ€™s โ€œgirlfriendโ€.

Speaking on โ€˜The Lowe Postโ€™ podcast, he said: โ€œRich Paul, [LeBron Jamesโ€™] agent, brings his girlfriend to the game sitting next to LeBron. His girlfriend is Adele.

โ€œRich Paul is at the game with Adele.โ€

The singer โ€“ who has Angelo, eight, with her ex-husband Simon Konecki โ€“ usually likes to keep a low profile and has so far remained tight-lipped about the relationship speculation.

However, the London-born star was seen chatting and laughing with Rich, as they watched the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Phoenix Suns 123-119.

Speaking about the rumoured new couple, Brian added: โ€œThis is the first time theyโ€™ve come out in public together, so this will be all over the tabloids.โ€

Adele โ€“ who previously denied speculation she was dating rap star Skepta โ€“ is currently preparing to release her long-awaited new album.

The award-winning singer hasnโ€™t released an album since โ€™25โ€™ in 2015 and even though sheโ€™s spent the last year or so โ€œfocusing on herselfโ€ following her split from Simon, sheโ€™s now excited to return to the spotlight.

A source recently shared: โ€œAdele has been very busy focusing on herself this last year and has spent months in the studio recording her new album.โ€

The chart-topping singer now canโ€™t wait for her fans to hear her new music.

The insider added: โ€œThe album is going to be released very soon, and she is excited for the world to hear it.โ€
