Adele’s return to the stage in Las Vegas was met with thunderous applause and excitement from her devoted fans. The Grammy-winning artist, known for her powerful vocals and heartfelt lyrics, had been eagerly awaited after being forced to pause her residency earlier this year due to illness. However, it was her surprise announcement during the show that truly set the crowd ablaze.
As she belted out her hit songs, Adele revealed her desire to expand her family, expressing her wish to have a baby girl. The singer, already a mother to her 11-year-old son Angelo from a previous relationship, shared her hopes and dreams for a daughter, painting a vivid picture of the dynamic she envisions.
A Daughter’s Impact
“Once I am done with all my obligations and all of my shows, I want to have a baby,” Adele told the captivated audience at Caesars Palace on Friday, May 17. “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. She’s going to put me in my place all the time, isn’t she?”
With her trademark wit and candor, Adele playfully speculated about the challenges and joys of raising a daughter, acknowledging the unique bond and occasional clashes that can arise between mothers and their little girls.
A Bossy Little Queen
Adele’s excitement was palpable as she envisioned her future daughter’s personality, shaped by the influences of both herself and her partner, Rich Paul. “With me as her mother and Rich as her father, she’s going to be a bossy little queen, isn’t she?” Adele asked, eliciting laughter and cheers from the audience.
The singer’s affection for her partner’s daughter, Reonna Simone Paul, was also evident as she proudly announced the young woman’s upcoming graduation from Clark Atlanta University. “It is my stepdaughter’s graduation this weekend,” Adele shared, adding, “So, I love you darling.”
A Blossoming Romance
Adele’s relationship with Rich Paul, a prominent sports agent, has been a source of joy and support for the singer. The couple first sparked romance rumors in July 2021 when they were spotted together at the NBA finals, and their bond has only grown stronger since then.
In September of the same year, Adele made their relationship Instagram official by sharing a cozy photo of herself and Rich, cementing their status as one of the most talked-about couples in the entertainment industry.
A Mother’s Love
While Adele’s dreams of motherhood once again captivated the audience, her love for her son Angelo remains unwavering. The 11-year-old, whom she shares with her ex-husband Simon Konecki, has been a constant source of inspiration and motivation for the award-winning artist.
As Adele continues to navigate the complexities of her personal life and career, her fans eagerly await the next chapter in her journey, whether it be the arrival of a baby girl or the creation of more chart-topping hits that resonate with listeners around the world.
