So, Adele, unsurprisingly, had a very successful Brit Awards.

"It's Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, and MasterCard Album of the Year.

For an artist who has been struggling in recent years, this is obviously a great achievement, and we are very happy that she finally got her break.

But there's another reason Adele was in the news after the awards ceremony: she appeared with a giant sparkler on her ring finger, and although she didn't comment on the jewelry, you'd be forgiven for thinking we might have witnessed an engagement announcement there.

While nothing is confirmed, Adele's choice to wear such a prominent and iconic stone on *that* finger has fans speculating that she and partner Rich Paul are engaged.

BRITs posted a gallery on Instagram with a cover photo of Adele and her ring, and while many people did not seem to notice the diamond at all, one commenter posted, "Is Adele engaged?" wrote, to which someone replied, "I thought I was the only one who noticed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I replied.

(As an aside, the BRITs caption was very funny." fun fact: tom daley knitted this year's red carpet #BRITs" and was accompanied by the comment "for legal reasons that was a joke x".

Back on topic: "Adele is an absolute classic beauty, so it's no wonder she wears striking pear-shaped diamonds," Kyron, co-founder and managing director of ROX - Diamonds & Thrills Keogh, co-founder and managing director of ROX - Diamonds & Thrills, tells Marie Claire. 'As you can see from the pictures, it's between 8 and 10 carats, and the diamonds are delicately set on the band. The price for this diamond would be around 750,000 pounds," Marie Claire says. Pear-shaped and teardrop diamonds are timeless and feminine in style."

The ring is a Lorraine Schwartz original, which in itself is another clue: Schwartz is the designer behind some of your favorite engagement rings, including Blake Lively's (open in new tab), Beyonce's, Kim Kardashian's, and Lady Gaga's.

Adele and Rich Paul have never made their relationship public, but they have been spotted watching basketball games together (Paul is a sports agent) and dating in and out of restaurants The two apparently began dating between May and July 2021 But for the time being, this is only speculation.

Adele was previously married to longtime boyfriend Simon Kinetski, with whom she has a son, Angelo. Adele has spoken at length about how the painful experience of divorce inspired her latest album.
