We love seeing Adele happy and madly in love. The singer and her boyfriend Rich Paul were sitting courtside at the most recent Lakers game and seemed to have the time of their lives.

As reported by British Vogue, Adele admitted that she’s “very happy” with her man, and to be honest, we can all see it. She was all smiles during her date night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday, October 19. The 33-year-old singer and the 39-year-old sports agent watched the Golden State Warriors play against the LA Lakers.

For the occasion, the Grammy winner slipped into a custom ‘Pearson’ jacket and ‘Sidney’ pant in java leather from Altuzarra’s Fall Winter 2021 collection. To keep herself warm, she layered with a deep brown Louis Vuitton coat over her shoulders. The singer, who recently released her record-breaking single “Easy On Me,” completed the look with a pair of brown pumps, nails, and neutral makeup to keep up with the monochromatic look.

Adele and Rich made their first public appearance when sitting courtside together at an important NBA game. Adele says the outing was her idea, prompted by the fact that Paul is very comfortable with her fame, something that hasn’t always been her experience.

“I did date before Rich, but they hated it,” she says. “They’d find it stressful being out or seen with me, which meant that I guarded all of it beyond. It never evolved because we were never experiencing things together. 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 also spoke about meeting him, how they’d known each other years back but she’d never paid attention to him. “He was always there, I just didn’t see him,” she said, mentioning that they first met at a party some years ago. “I was a bit drunk. I said: Do you want to sign me? I’m an athlete now.” She said. “All the other guys were just sitting around. He was just dancing away.”
