For the first time ever, Adele has opened up about her newfound romance with boyfriend Rich Paul.
The singer shared details about their budding relationship in new interviews with the US and British editions of Vogue.
Revealing they were friends for quite some time before things turned romantic early this year, Adele told the magazine: "He was always there, I just didn’t see him."
"Rich just incredibly arrived," the 33-year-old said of the sports agent, 39. "I don't feel anxious or nervous or frazzled. It's quite the opposite. It's wild."
The pair originally met at a party a couple of years before, when she joked to him, while "a bit drunk". "Do you want to sign me? I'm an athlete now," she told him.
"He's just so f***ing funny. He was dancing. All the other guys were just sitting around. He was just dancing away," she recalled.
Adele said she knew exactly what she wanted as a "33-year-old divorced mother of a son, who's actually in charge."
The singer finalized her divorce from ex-husband Simon Konecki earlier this year, after the pair split nearly three years ago. She shared nine-year-old son Angelo with her ex.
"The last thing I need is someone who doesn't know where they're at, or what they want. I know what I want," she said. "And I really know what I don't want."
Adele and Paul made their first public appearance together during Game 5 of the NBA Finals back in July.
"I didn't mean to go public with it. I just wanted to go to the game," she said about attending the match. "I just love being around him. I just love it."
On the way to the game, Paul had some questions about what being spotted together would spark online.
"He was like, 'What are people going to say?' And I was like, 'That you signed me. As an athlete. You're my agent.' And he was like, 'Okay, cool,'" she said.
Adele said she went out with other men before starting her relationship with Paul, but that dating had "been s***."
To British Vogue, she - who previously dated rapper Skepta - admitted that the men she went out with "hated it."
"They'd find it stressful being out or seen with me, which meant that I guarded all of it beyond. It never evolved because we were never experiencing things together," she said.
"Whereas he's not frazzled by it at all. It feels like it's consistent and considerate enough that I don't care who knows. He's great. He's so f***ing funny. He's so smart, you know," she added about Paul.
