Adele sparked engagement rumours as she showed off a diamond ring while walking the red carpet at the BRIT Awards at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday.

The singer, 33, who is dating sports agent Rich Paul, pulled a series of dramatic expressions while making her way down the carpet where she displayed an eye-catching rock on her engagement finger – with expert jewellers valuing the item at £750,000. 

This star’s visit comes amid backlash over leaving thousands of fans out of pocket after she abruptly pulled the plug at her Stateside shows, giving only 24 hours notice.

She wore a plunging black gown that was figure-hugging and flattering to her body. 

The gown featured a plunging neckline and sheer details. Adele was radiant in it.

Adele complemented her look with diamond earrings and a matching sheer-train train.

The singer styled her hair in poker straight curls and complemented her natural beauty by using a lighter palette of makeup. 

The dazzling, pear-shaped diamond ring completed her look. Neil Dutta at Angelic Diamonds told MailOnline of tyhe gem: ‘We’d say it was around an 8-carat diamond. Assuming it is of top quality (VVS1/D) it would be worth at least £750,000.’

She previously said that her relationship with him was the most “incredible and openhearted” one she has ever experienced. 

Speaking to Rolling Stone, she said: ‘I didn’t really tell many of my friends at the beginning because I wanted to keep it to myself.’

Adele, who was comfortable enough with Rich, introduced Angelo, nine years old, to Rich. Angelo is her son that she co-parents along Simon Konecki.

Adele truly had a night at the 2022 BRIT Awards. Her stripped-down version of I Drink Wine was performed before she took home three BRIT Awards. It is her 12th total of BRIT trophies since 2008, when she received her Rising Star Award. 

Adele won the Mastercard Album Award of the Year, her third win. Her previous albums were in 2012 and 2016. She is the only solo artist that has won this award in BRITs history.

She was also the first recipient of BRITs’ Artist of The Year Award, and won her third win with Song of the year for Easy On Me. 

These new international categories also saw the recognition of two outstanding global artists: Billie Eilish won International Artist of the Month and Olivia Rodrigo was presented with International Song of the the Year for Good 4 U, the UK’s best-selling international single.
