Adele enjoys Team USA basketball game with husband Rich Paul in London amid talks she ‘is moving back to the UK’

She is rumoured to be moving back to the UK, but it seems Adele still has some time for American pastimes in her busy schedule.

The singer was spotted courtside on Saturday for a Team USA basketball game at London’s O2 Arena.

The singer, 36, sat alongside her partner, basketball agent Rich Paul, 42, to watch the team’s thrilling victory over South Sudan, who had a shock lead of 14 points at half time.

Adele, who is a regular at Los Angeles Lakers games in her adopted hometown, looked chic in an oversized orange shirt, black trousers and sling-back heels.

The Someone Like You songstress recently announced she is taking a break from music, with her Caesar’s Palace residency due to conclude in November.

Adele’s UK outing comes amid talks she is moving back to Britain following her ‘big break’ from music. 

The Grammy-winner, who secretly tied the knot with Rich towards the end of last year, will return to Las Vegas in October until her residency comes to an end in November and confirmed that she has ‘no plans’ to make any new music after.

It has been reported that despite splashing out a lavish new mansion in the US the singer plans to move back to the UK once her residency is over. 

The star and her partner Rich bought Sylvester Stallone’s $58million Beverley Hills mansion two years ago, but have knocked most of it to the ground in a huge rebuild.  

Adele moved over to Los Angeles back in 2016 and previously said she did so to get more for her money, but after eight years it appears that there has been little progress in renovations to her lavish Beverly Hills mansion.

Adele’s assistant Rose Moon moved back to the UK a few weeks ago and is currently organising the singer’s return too, The Sun reported earlier this month. 

Discussing the megastar’s move back to London, a source said: ‘It is all part of a wider return home and once her Las Vegas shows finish in November she has said she will be coming back.’

‘Rose has already moved back to the UK and Adele will be following her. Just like the football, it seems Adele is coming home.’

The source also claimed Adele is a ‘Brit through and through’ which has inspired her desire to return to her roots

Adele previously told British Vogue that she invested in three Beverly Hills mansions in order to get better value for her dollar.

‘The kind of house I have in LA I could never afford in London. Ever,’ the Tottenham native told the outlet.

Adele said that she had ‘looked at houses’ in London before coming to the conclusion and moving Stateside in 2016.

‘It’s like hundreds of millions of pounds,’ she said. ‘I don’t have that much money at all. I’d throw up.’

Adele bought Sylvester Stallone’s eight-bedroom, 12-bathroom home in January last year, saddling her with a colossal $37.7million mortgage.

Sylvester previously revealed how a statue of his character Rocky from the 1976 American sports drama film, which overlooks the huge outdoor pool, helped secure the deal.

The actor had been planning on taking the stoneware with him, when Adele insisted she wanted it to stay with the property.

He told the Wall Street Journal: ‘She said: “That’s a no deal. That’s gonna blow the whole deal.” She wanted the statue.’

Adele is now ripping up the massive mansion and making it her own in a huge renovation project.

Pictures of construction show the 18,587 square-foot home has been completely remodelled, two years after the star purchased the property with her husband Rich Paul.

Adele, who is yet to move into the property two years after purchasing it, is reportedly paying ‘millions’ for the extensive list of renovations, including adding a five-car garage and a fire-resistant roof to the pad.

Adele already has 11-year-old son Angelo with ex-husband Simon Konecki but told fans while on stage at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas back in May that she is hoping to have a daughter. 

The singer said: ‘Once I am done with all my ­obligations and all of my shows, I want to have a baby.

‘I want a girl because I’ve already got a boy. I feel like she might be like the person I love the most in the world, but also probably hate the most in the world — that is what I feel will happen. She’s going to put me in my place all the time, isn’t she?’

The Rolling In The Deep songstress joked the little one will end up being a ‘bossy little queen’ because of the parents she will have.

She said: ‘With me as her mother and Rich as her father, she’s going to be a bossy little queen, isn’t she?’

When Simon and Adele split in 2019, the couple remained neighbours so they could keep things as normal as possible for their son

She said at the time when discussions arose about separating their lives: ‘In the end I was like, “We’re not going to. You’ve bought the house opposite my house. Nothing changes for Angelo.”‘ 

Adele last performed in the UK in 2022 as she headlined two nights at the BST in Hyde Park in London to a 65,000-strong audience.

Last year, Adele also revealed a reason she may not want to move back to the UK. 

She told The Hollywood Reporter: ‘I get really bad seasonal depression, so the weather [in LA] is good for me. It is strange sometimes, because I’m very British.

‘Because it’s a bit harder for me to go out nowadays, what I love the most about LA is everyone goes to each other’s houses. I like that.’
