Las Vegas, May 20, 2024 — Adele, the Grammy-winning singer, surprised fans during her latest Weekends with Adele show at Caesars Palace by dropping a baby bombshell. The 36-year-old artist, who reportedly secretly wed sports talent manager Rich Paul last year, revealed her desire to expand her family.
Already a mother to Angelo, 11, from her previous marriage to Simon Konecki, Adele expressed her wish to have more children once she completes her string of sell-out gigs this summer. In a candid moment on stage, she shared her preference for a girl: “I want a girl because I’ve already got a boy. I feel like she might be the person I love the most in the world, but also probably hate the most in the world. That is what I feel will happen. She’s going to put me in my place all the time, isn’t she?” Adele playfully mused. “With me as her mother and Rich as her father, she’s going to be a bossy little queen, isn’t she?”
The revelation about expanding her family came amidst Adele’s heartfelt praise for her stepdaughter Reonna, who recently graduated from Clark Atlanta University. The teenager’s achievement as a “first-generation college graduate” left Adele emotional. Rich Paul, absent from the show due to celebrating Reonna’s milestone, received a special shoutout from the proud stepmother.
“Make sure you put this video online,” Adele urged the audience. “It is my stepdaughter’s graduation this weekend, and her name is Reonna. How amazing is that? She’s the first family member to graduate college. It’s a f***ing vibe. They’re all in Atlanta celebrating her, and obviously, I’m here with you, and I wouldn’t be anywhere else. But I love you, baby. I love you!”
Adele’s blended family includes stepchildren Richie and Zane, while Rich Paul is also a stepfather to Angelo. With Adele’s desire for more children and her affectionate words for Reonna, it seems this talented family is ready for new chapters and celebrations.
