Adele’s dream of marrying Rich Paul and starting a family is on pause, and geography is to blame. The British singer, 36, announced last year she’d take an extended break from music to focus on her personal life with the powerhouse sports agent, 44.
However, sources say their love story has hit a snag: She wants the U.K., he needs L.A. For now, wedding bells remain silent.
Adele’s heart pulls her back to her homeland, the source revealed. She craves more time in the U.K., where she feels rooted. Meanwhile, Rich, a top-tier sports agent, can’t easily leave Los Angeles, his business hub.
The insider noted they’d likely be married by now if not for this continental divide. Transitioning from long-distance dreams to a shared address hasn’t been simple.
Complicating matters, Adele and Rich invested heavily in a Beverly Hills mansion, renovating it extensively. The property sits across from her ex-husband Simon Konecki’s home, where their 12-year-old son, Angelo, splits time.
Simon chose that spot to keep Angelo near both parents, the source explained. If Adele relocates to the U.K., Simon might object, adding tension to an already tricky situation.
The couple’s geographic deadlock demands a resolution before they tie the knot, the insider stressed. Adele’s U.K. longing clashes with Rich’s L.A.-based career, stalling their plans.
Fans of the “Hello” singer, known for her emotional ballads, eagerly await updates. Yet, the duo remains tight-lipped, leaving the timeline unclear.
Relationship expert Dr. Laura Hensley, with 20 years of counseling experience, said compromise is key in such cases. Long-distance strains often test even the strongest bonds, she added. For Adele and Rich, balancing love, family, and careers across oceans is the challenge ahead.
For now, their Beverly Hills home stands as a symbol of commitment—and conflict. Sorting out where they’ll settle is the next step. Until then, fans keep hoping the couple finds harmony soon.
