Adele hints at plans for baby with fiancé Rich Paul during onstage gender reveal

In a sweet on-stage moment, Adele has hinted at her plans for a baby with fiancé Rich Paul.

It was after the Brit award winner took part in a gender reveal, with the proud-parents-to-be joining her for the announcement.

Unsurprisingly, fans of the 35-year-old are now wondering when she’ll say ‘Hello’ to a new little one.

The ‘When We Were Young’ singer even got a little emotional during the reveal, which had been completely unexpected.

Having spotted Chris Dare and Shantelle Lord’s sign in the crowd, Adele beckoned them onto the stage at Las Vegas' Caesars Palace.

Unsurprisingly, the star was excited to announce the news and even joked that she was ‘obsessed’ as she’d never had the opportunity to do this before.

Rather sweetly, she asked the New York couple if there was anything they’d like her to say and ensured that someone was filming the special moment.

“I’m just honoured that you’re going to do this for us,” Lord replied. “We’ve known since 12 weeks and we have been waiting for this moment.”

Taking the all-important paper, the singer then told the audience: “Shantelle and Chris are having a baby… boy!”

As the couple celebrated, the ballad maker became a little emotional and said: “If and when I get pregnant, will you do my gender reveal? At the shower, I’ll have you back and you can do it.”

It’s no surprise that the singer would drop the baby bombshell, as she’s previously hinted about how much she wants another child.

Over a decade ago, Adele welcomed her first child, a son named Angelo, with her then-husband Simon Konecki.

After splitting from the entrepreneur in 2021, the British singer then began dating sports agent Rich Paul and has been hinting about having another baby ever since.

"I've never been in love like this," Adele previously confessed to ELLE, adding: "I'm obsessed with him. I definitely want more kids. I'm a homemaker and I'm a matriarch, and a stable life helps me with my music."

However, don’t expect to hear the pitter-patter of little feet just yet.

Instead, the Grammy Award winner is planning to focus on her Las Vegas residency before welcoming baby number 2.

She said: "But right now, all I got in my brain is Vegas. I wanna f**king nail it."

Here’s hoping she gets to be a godparent to the New York's couple's baby instead!
