Adele effortlessly shuts down rumours her relationship with Rich Paul is on the rocks

Adele has effortlessly shut down rumours her relationship with boyfriend Rich Paul is on the rocks in a new Instagram post, telling people that he "sends his love."

In an Instagram post shared yesterday (February 1st), the 'Easy On Me' singer addressed the rumour mill head-on after tabloids reported that her relationship with Paul was in a rough spot when she was forced to cancel her Las Vegas residency shows last minute.

The New York Daily News's Richard Johnson also linked the cancellation of the Vegas shows to Adele's reported relationship problems.

Adele and sports agent, Paul were struggling to see each other due to their work, according to The Sunas a source revealed: "Adele is staying at Rich’s house in Beverly Hills just trying to fix their relationship because things have become strained.

"They barely saw each other at the beginning of the month because he was away for work and she was trying to focus on the Vegas show," they added and said Adele was "upset" that Paul couldn't be there for her when the residency preparations were not going to plan.

For the caption, Adele wrote: "Hiya, so I’m really happy to say that I am performing at the Brits next week!! Anddddd I’ll also be popping in to see Graham for a chat on the couch while I’m in town too! I’m looking forward to it! Oh, and Rich sends his love ♥️"
