Months after Adele sent fans into a tailspin with her cryptic comments about her pregnancy plans and a possible engagement to partner Rich Paul, the singer has shared her desire to eventually have more children with an audience in Las Vegas.
The Tottenham-born star explained to the crowd that she 'really [wants] to be a mum again soon,' and has been making a list of baby names on her phone. 'I’ve actually been writing lists,' she said. 'So every time I see a name that I like, I write it down in my phone.'
The 'Hello' hitmaker further elaborated and said that her and Paul have several favourite names on their lists, which include Spencer, Ray and Parker. 'I can’t say Parker because Rich likes that name,' she said, adding that they already decided that Ray would be their daughter’s middle name.

Adele's revelation comes after private star took to Instagram to share several photos of the pair together, confirming that they are very much still a couple.
'Time flies 💋 ✨ ♥️ [sic]' she captioned the sweet post, which included photos of them kissing and seemingly holding house keys outside a large mansion together. It's believed the mansion in question is the former Beverley Hills home of actor Sylvester Stallone, which Adele is rumoured to have purchased for a cool £47.5 million earlier this year.
In one photo Adele can be seen holding a fortune cookie message which read: 'You have found good company - enjoy.'
The snaps come after rumours of a split given Rich's absence from her 34th birthday celebrations, and several months after Adele revealed to Graham Norton on his TV show that she would like more children and that she wouldn't tell anyone if she was or wasn't engaged.
Article originally published on 11/02/22: Adele has set the rumour mill in motion yet again after revealing that she wants to have more children after people have been speculating that she may be engaged.
During a recent taping of The Graham Norton Show, which airs at 10.35pm on Friday January 11, the singer opened up about her hope to have another baby.
‘It takes me a while to recharge, and I would like to have more children – I only just feel like I've caught up with my sleep from nine years ago when I had my son,’ she said, per the Daily Mail.
Adele is currently a mother to her nine-year-old son Angelo, who she co-parents with her ex husband Simon Konecki. She is believed to have been dating Rich Paul, a US-based sports agent, since last summer, and the pair have been seen on regular date nights at the basketball in recent months.
The singer also discussed the recent cancellation of her Las Vegas shows, nothing that she has ‘regret’ for having to postpone the residency.
'I tried my hardest and really thought I would be able to pull something together in time,' she said. 'I regret that I kept going until that late in the day. It would have been a really half-a***d show and I can't do that.'
Wearing a grey Fendi suit and the same diamond ring on her wedding ring finger she wore on the red carpet at the BRITS earlier in the week, Adele responded to Norton’s question about whether or not she was engaged.
'If I was would I ever tell anyone if I was or wasn't?' she joked.
Discussing her Vegas shows, which she recently announced had to be postponed due to 'delivery delays and Covid', she added: 'People will see straight through me up on the stage and know I didn't want to be doing it. I've never done anything like that in my life and I'm not going to start now.
'We are now working our a***s off, but I don't want to announce a new set of dates until I know everything will definitely be ready. The sooner I can announce the better, but I just can't in case we are not ready in time.
'It is absolutely 100% happening this year. It has to happen this year because I've got plans for next year. Imagine if I have to cancel because I am having a baby!'
Touching on her tendency to go under the radar between releasing albums, Adele said that she ‘definitely will’ take some time away following her three-month Vegas residency.
‘But I am trying to make a conscious effort to stop being so anal with my privacy,’ she noted. ‘I'm trying not to be two completely different versions of myself. It is exhausting switching on and off. I will be disappearing in terms of my music, but you might see a glimpse of me now and then and I won't be in complete hiding.'
Discussing her Best Album, Best Artist and Best Song (Easy on Me) award wins at the recent BRITS, she said of the accolade: ‘I am very happy, really chuffed. In my speech I wanted to acknowledge other people and my son who is old enough now.
'I don't share too much of him, but they are my little soulmates – Angelo and Simon. Our family is separated but we're nailing it and doing a really, really good job.'
