One bold shot features the Someone Like You star posing up a storm in a $6,930 bright yellow Loro Piana coat with a racy lace slip from Agent Provocateur peeking out from underneath.

Showing off her trademark long red manicure and with her strawberry blonde locks styled into Hollywood-glam waves, Adele poses by the glass doors of a modern house, smouldering for the camera.

In the accompanying interview a candid Adele revealed her dream is to be a ‘homemaker’, as she plans marriage and children with boyfriend Rich Paul.

While she is currently focused on finally bringing her long-awaited Las Vegas shows to life, the singer, 34, said post-Vegas will be all about family as she gushed about life with her sports agent beau, 40, in a rare public display of affection, saying she’s as ‘happy as I’ll ever be’.

Adele declared: ‘I’ve never been in love like this. I’m obsessed with him. I definitely want more kids.’

The superstar and the multi-millionaire agent first met at a party a few years ago, and took their relationship public in the summer of 2021. 

The musician was previously wed to charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki, the father of her nine-year-old son Angelo, marrying in 2018 and separating the same year.   

‘I’ve never been in love like this,’ Adele gushed to ELLE of Rich. ‘I’m obsessed with him. I definitely want more kids.

‘I’m a homemaker and I’m a matriarch, and a stable life helps me with my music,’ she added. ‘But right now, all I got in my brain is Vegas. I wanna f**king nail it.’ 

The star remained coy about rumours she and Rich are currently engaged though, telling ELLE that she ‘absolutely’ wants to get married again. 

She coyly added: ‘Well! Well. Well, I’m not married’ when asked if the ring she’s been wearing recently is an engagement diamond.

‘I’m just in loooove! I’m happy as I’ll ever be. I might as well be married,’ later confessing of her huge ring: ‘I’m not engaged. I just love high-end jewellery, boy!’

Adele was also keen to discuss what she called ‘the worst moment in my career’ after she cancelled her Las Vegas residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

The superstar had been set to open her Weekends with Adele show back in January but cancelled in an emotional video message to her fans at the last minute.  

Adele tearfully told fans, many of whom were already in Sin City at the time, several different reasons behind her pushing back the residency.  ‘My show ain’t ready,’ she said. 

‘We’ve tried absolutely everything that we can to put it together in time, and for it to be good enough for you. But we’ve been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID.’

After rescheduled dates for the gig were leaked, the singer took to Instagram last month to finally confirm the show will start in November as she thanked fans for their ‘patience’. 

‘It was the worst moment in my career, by far,’ she told Elle of her decision to cancel. ‘By far. I was so excited about those shows. It was devastating.’

She explained with just hours to go before her debut date, that she just wasn’t satisfied with the show. 

‘There was just no soul in it. The stage setup wasn’t right. It was very disconnected from me and my band, and it lacked intimacy. And maybe I tried too hard to give it those things in such a controlled environment.’

It was previously reported the delays were down to the singer being displeased with the set design, particularly over a swimming pool erected in the middle of the stage. 

Of the backlash she faced from fans, many of whom had splurged thousands on flights and accommodation to see the star, Adele admitted ‘the first couple of months were really, really hard. I was embarrassed.’

‘But it actually made my self-confidence in myself grow, because it was a very brave thing to do. And I don’t think many people would have done what I did. I’m very proud of myself for standing by my artistic needs.’

Insiders in the Caesars Palace camp told TMZ in May that the resort and Live Nation had to arrive at a workable arrangement with the singer within a month in order for the show to go forward. 

Rich, a top-flight sports agent, had apparently entered the negotiations on the show, which is allegedly projected to make $150 million.

The sources said that Adele had multiple bones of contention about the show, including but not limited to the choir and the sound system.

Caesars insiders also cited a disagreement over a swimming pool that was meant to be part of the concert set.

In April, Adele reportedly fired her creative team and hired a whole new one in a bid to help save her postponed residency.

She is understood to have split with the creative team behind the residency and instead drafted in Take That’s creative expert to take the reins.

The star called her revamped plans for the 32 concert dates, which run from November 18, 2022 to March 25, 2023. ‘nostalgic’ teasing that the shows will tell the story of her career. 

‘It’s gonna be really beautiful,’ she mused to Elle, adding that they will be plenty of her trademark interaction with the audience, quipping: ‘I haven’t got any bullet points, obviously, when I talk. That’s why my shows are so erratic. One time I gave, like, an hour speech about an aquarium!’

‘I think I’m right to do it right now,’ she said of the residency. ‘I know I’m not, like, 60 years old and I haven’t got 20 albums under my belt. But I think my music will work in a show in Vegas.’  

Ahead of Vegas, Adele wowed fans with two dates in her hometown of London back in June, her first concerts in five years.  

‘They were two of the best crowds I’ve ever stood in front of, ever, in my whole career.’ the star said of the Hyde Park concerts. 

‘That’s the first thing I said to Rich when I got in the car after the second show,’ she says. ‘I was like, ‘Well, f**k, now I’ve got itchy feet. I’ve got itchy feet, Rich!’ 

When she sang ‘Someone Like You’ on the first night in London, she let the audience take over on one of the final choruses, and got choked up listening to them sing. ‘I wrote that on my own, in my little tiny flat, when I was 21,’ the emotional star explained.

Ring: Adele was pictured with a diamond ring on her engagement finger at the BRIT Awards in February but has remained coy about engagement rumours, quipping of the ring: ‘I just love high-end jewellery, boy!’

‘The fact that they all still remember the words and love the song, it was just incredible.’

‘Fifteen years is a long time. But one thing I feel so lucky about, even with how big my life is now, is that I really lived a normal life. You know?’

In May Adele moved in with boyfriend Rich, who manages the likes of NBA star LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Ben Simmons, among other athletes, after a year of dating as she shared a snap of them outside their new home.

In January it was claimed the vocal powerhouse was splashing out ‘$58million’ on a fourth property – Sylvester Stallone’s Beverly Hills mega mansion which sat on the market for the better part of the year. And now the home has revealed to be a new love nest for the singer and her boyfriend. 

During a past interview with Rolling Stone, Adele described her relationship with Rich as being the most ‘incredible, openhearted, and easiest’ one she’s ever been in.

While they have only been seeing each other since last summer, the pair actually met for the first time at a friend’s birthday party several years before. 

They would later reconnect in June 2021, with Adele saying: ‘I didn’t really tell many of my friends at the beginning because I wanted to keep it to myself.

They put their love on display when they attended the NBA Finals as a couple in July, and again at LeBron James’ wife’s birthday party in August.

Adele went Instagram official with their romance in a post on September 19, which she captioned with a red heart emoji.

The singer rarely posts about Rich on social media but did use her Instagram account to hit back at rumours she cancelled her Vegas residency because she was having relationship problems. 

Just weeks after she postponed her shows, the singer defiantly took to Instagram to address speculation over the status of her relationship as she jokingly told her fans her sports agent partner ‘sends his love’.

Adele’s sassy Instagram posts came after The New York Daily News reported the singer called off ‘Weekends With Adele’ residency because she was having issues with Rich, reporting she was ‘crying through rehearsals and interrupting them to take phone calls with him.’ 

Adele and her ex Simon have maintained a close relationship, co-parenting Angelo, while Simon was seen hanging out with Rich during the star’s Hyde Park gigs this summer. 

The pair, accompanied by Adele’s nine-year-old son Angelo, were spotted chatting together in the VIP area.

Proving the strength of their friendship Adele dedicated her BRIT Award winning album 30 to Simon and their son Angelo during the BRITs in February.

Adele emotionally told viewers her award was for her son and her ex-husband because the record is ‘really about them’, before crediting herself for ‘putting out something so personal’.

The star’s fourth album details her painful split from Simon, previously explaining that the album’s lead single Easy On Me was written for her son, who had questions for his parents after their split, like ‘why can’t you still live together?’.
