The popular singer Adele has disclosed that she and her partner Rich Paul wish to have a girl.
The 36-year-old British singer-songwriter already has an 11-year-old son named Angelo, but she revealed to her Las Vegas audience that she is planning for Angelo to have a sister.
With her ex-husband Simon Konecki, Adele shares Angelo. The couple wedd in 2018 and had children together in 2021. They first met in 2011.
The Rolling in the Deep hitmaker started seeing American sports agent Rich Paul soon after her divorce from Simon, and it appears that the two are prepared to start a family.
On stage in during a show for her Vegas residency, she told the crowd: ‘Once I am done with all my obligations and all of my shows, I want to have a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢.
‘I want a girl because I’ve already got a boy. I feel like she might be like 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.’
The Sun reported that she continued on, saying: ‘She’s going to put me in my place all the time, isn’t she? With me as her mother and Rich as her father, she’s going to be a bossy little queen, isn’t she?’
Angelo was born in 2012, a year after Adele and Simon got together, and it apparently took almost a decade for him to know how famous his mum was.
In a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, the mum-of-one was asked whether Angelo had any idea just how famous she was, or whether she was planning to tell him a little later in life.
Adele and Rich Paul began dating back in 2021.
Adele has finally begun her Vegas residency.
The popstar replied: ‘[Angelo] watched the Easy On Me video, and he noticed there was 150,000 people waiting. Then he read the comments and he was like, “People really like you!” So he’s starting to get it a little bit, but not really.’
The Sun also reported that, while sharing an honest update with her audience in Vegas over the weekend, she admitted to struggling in her recovery from chronic health issues.
‘I had to be on voice rest. When I say voice rest, I mean silence for pretty much five weeks. Can you imagine me of all people not being able to talk for five weeks?
‘The singing, that’s easy. I don’t mind not singing for five weeks, but not being able to talk or not being able to laugh, being on full vocal rest was tough.’
Earlier this year, Adele broke down in tears on stage after a series of cancelled shows threatened the future of her Vegas residency – the singer confessed to not knowing if she would ever get the shows started.
‘What I haven’t been able to get out of my head … was that it took so long, and I was like: “When am I ever going to say I’ve done my residency?”
