'I'VE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE LIKE THIS'

SUPERSTAR ADELE ON FINDING HAPPINESS WITH HER NEW MAN AND WHY MARRIAGE AND BABIES MIGHT BE ON THE CARDS

- CLARE FISHER

Adele’s career is synonymous with heartbreak and global hits such as Someone Like You and Hello tell of loves lost and tears shed. Her albums, 19, 21, 25 and most recently, 30, have provided musical snapshots of the most pivotal years of her life and really captured the gut-wrenching feeling of miserable break-ups. But now she’s happily loved-up with sports agent Rich Paul, the 34-year-old is decidedly more cheerful.

“I’ve never been in love like this. I’m obsessed with him,” she recently said of Rich, who she says makes her feel “safe” and encourages her to live her guarded life more freely. While her divorce from Simon Konecki – the father of her nine-year-old son Angelo – might have put Tottenham- born Adele off the idea of walking down the aisle again, on the contrary, she said she “absolutely” wants to tie the knot for a second time.

“I’m in loooove, I’m happy as I’ll ever be. I might as well be married,” she said in a recent interview with ELLE magazine. The performer also expressed her wish to start a family with Rich, 40, who has three children of his own. “I definitely want more kids. I’m a homemaker and I’m a matriarch,” she said.
