Adele made Rich Paul sign ironclad prenup before secretly getting married, insider claims
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Adele made Rich Paul sign a rigorous prenuptial agreement before they "got married" in secret.
Before the couple decided to get married, the 35-year-old singer of 'Someone Like You'—who recently appeared to confirm that the sports agent is her husband—was allegedly "convinced" by her worried friends to safeguard her $220 million fortune.
Adele found prenup 'a touchy subject'
"Adele has a few trust issues, which is normal for her, but bringing up a marital contract caused some friction between them," an insider told the National Enquirer.
"She believes in love, and she says talking about anything to do with money is a sure-fire romance killer. She was right," the source added, revealing the prenup was a "touchy subject."
Adele's inner circle persuaded her to put ironclad prenup in place
Adele's inner circle persuaded her that the agreement was essential despite her purported resistance, as reported by Radar Online.
Her four albums have brought in a total of $31 million in sales, plus an additional $34 million from digital singles, on top of the money from the Las Vegas residency. And that's before the hundreds of millions of dollars she's made from tour tickets is factored in, per a report outlining her wealth.
Besides, the singer has some opulent real estate holdings, which include three homes in Beverly Hills that are estimated to be worth over $30 million and two townhouses in London that are valued at roughly $14 million.
The Grammy winner and Paul, 41, moved into a $58 million mansion that she reportedly funded last year. Her estimated total net worth is an astounding $220 million.
However, Adele is not the only wealthy partner in the marriage. Paul is a highly successful sports agent who represents players like LeBron James. His estimated net worth is $120 million. The insider added, "But he's more famous now because of Adele."
Adele was married to Simon Konecki
Adele married Simon Konecki, her first husband, without a prenuptial agreement. The CEO of Drop4Drop was entitled to half of her earnings during their marriage when they finalized their divorce, but specifics of their settlement were never disclosed, as reported by Radar Online.
The source said about the 'Hello' singer and Paul, "A prenup's signed, and Adele and Rich put it behind them... hopefully."
Adele made headlines over the weekend when she "confirmed" her marriage on her best friend, comedian Alan Carr's show.
Someone in the audience said, "I was at Alan Carr's comedy show in LA tonight and Adele was in the audience." Another eyewitness corroborated the news, "Alan asked the crowd if anyone got married recently and Adele shouted 'I did!'"
