Adele is getting cold feet after announcing her engagement to Rich Paul, according to a report.
The pop singer, 36, confirmed her engagement to the 42-year-old sports agent during a concert in Munich, Germany earlier this month.
She reportedly told a fan, “I can’t marry you – because I’m already getting married!”
But behind the scenes, Adele is having nagging doubts according to a report in Life & Style magazine.
Insiders say Adele’s tearful performance while singing “Someone Like You” in Munich is just one of many similar emotional breakdowns.
They say Adele is an emotional wreck because she isn’t sure whether Rich really loves her.
In 2022 Adele canceled her Las Vegas concerts after a fight with Rich.
“It’s worse behind the scenes,” an insider told Life & Style. “Adele’s crazy in love but she’s not sure Rich is the right guy. She doesn’t trust her instincts and it’s tearing her apart, leaving her exhausted and terrified she’ll wind up alone.”
Another source said, “She’s become extremely needy and clingy. Her friends don’t like or trust Rich all that much and fear he could be using her to open doors in Hollywood. Anyone can see the mental hopscotch is driving her to a nervous collapse!”
Adele called off 2 prior engagements before saying “yes” to Rich Paul. She has a 12-year-old son by ex-husband Simon Konecki.
It isn’t clear when Adele and Rich began dating, but they moved in together in 2022. Friends say the “Rolling in the Deep” singer began “pressuring” Rich to pop the question that same year. In December 2023 she “confirmed” they were married.
A witness told gossip blogger Deuxmoi in an email: “I was at Alan Carr’s comedy show in LA tonight and Adele was in the audience. Alan asked the crowd if anyone got married recently and Adele shouted ‘I did!’”
In 2018 Adele became an ordained minister to officiate Alan Carr’s wedding in her own backyard in Los Angeles. Carr’s marriage ended four years later.
