It's official — Adele is getting ready to head down the aisle and say "I do" to her longtime boyfriend Rich Paul, two years after first sparking engagement rumors.

The "Hello" singer finally confirmed during a recent concert in Munich, Germany, that she is engaged to the sports agent after three years of dating after a fan in the crowd jokingly asked the Grammy Winner to marry them, per E! News.

"Will you marry me?" she repeated, before gently letting the fan down and declining the proposal because Paul has already beaten them to it. Holding up her left hand as if to show off an engagement ring, she said, "I can't marry you because I'm already getting married so I can't."

As the crowd cheered for the exciting news, Adele told the fan who popped the question, "I appreciate it." The interaction was captured by fans in the crowd and shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday (August 9).

Adele and Paul went public with their romance in 2021 but have otherwise kept their details about relationship out of the public eye with the musician opening up more during her concerts.

The couple first sparked engagement rumors in February 2022 after Adele was seen wearing a giant diamond ring on her left ring finger while attending the BRIT Awards; however she addressed those rumors later that year, saying that she's "not married" and is "just in loooove" and "happy as I'll ever be," E! News reports.

The "Easy On Me" singer was previously married to Simon Konecki, with whom she shares 11-year-old son Angelo, before they split in 2019, finalizing their divorce two years later. Earlier this year, Adele shared her thoughts on potentially expanding her family.
