Adele Goes Instagram Official with Rich Paul
It's official — and straight from Adele herself: Adele and agent Rich Paul are dating!
On Sunday, Adele posted a series of ultra-glam photos on her Instagram, including a loved-up pic of herself beside Paul. The two-shot was taken in a photo booth at an event they attended on Saturday.
Though fans have been wise to this love match for months, going Instagram official was Adele's first acknowledgment of the new man in her life.
