"Drinking was causing tension," a source told OK! Magazine. "She knew she had to quit not just for Rich but for herself.”
Earlier this month, Adele shared to a crowd during her Las Vegas residency that she recently cut out alcohol. “I stopped drinking quite a long time ago … I stopped drinking, when did I stop drinking? It feels like forever,” Adele, 35, revealed. “Maybe, like, three and a half months ago.”
“I mean, oh my God, it’s boring,” she continued. “I was literally borderline alcoholic for quite a lot of my twenties, but I miss it so much.”
The singer then focused on an audience member who was enjoying a drink, and the musician admitted she was “very jealous.” “Enjoy your whiskey sour,” Adele said. “I’m very, very jealous.”
This wasn’t the first time Adele has addressed her complicated relationship with alcohol. Speaking to Vogue in 2021, the singer admitted her father struggled with alcoholism, so it always fascinated her. “I was always very fascinated by alcohol. It’s what kept my dad from me,” she shared. “So I always wanted to know what was so great about it.”
Adele Was Diagnosed With Sciatica Earlier This Year
Adele’s decision to quit alcohol comes after she revealed a new health diagnosis in August. The “Someone Like You” singer revealed she was diagnosed with sciatica after collapsing backstage. “I am going to sit down and rest my sciatica,” she told the crowd during her residency performance. “They picked my whole body up off the floor.”
Sciatica is often associated with symptoms like sharp, shooting leg pain, tingling, and numbness, often radiating from the lower back down one leg. Long-term effects can include chronic pain, muscle weakness, and decreased mobility, if not properly managed.

During an appearance on CBS Morning to promote his memoir this month, Rich explained to host Gayle King why he prefers to keep his personal life private, despite dating such a famous musician. “You know Gayle, I don’t really talk about my personal life publicly, but if I’m going to give anybody some tea, it’s gonna be [you],” he explained.
“I’m just not the type of person to put my personal life — it’s not for the media,” he went on. “It’s not for paparazzi, it’s for us.”
When pressed on why he’s referred to Adele as “Mrs. Paul,” Rich declined to directly deny if they’re legally wed. “You can say whatever you want,” the sports agent said.
Adele and Rich may not be married (yet), but there’s no denying the pair are head-over-heels for each other.
