Adele has hit back at rumours she cancelled her Las Vegas residency because she was having problems with her boyfriend Rich Paul.
The singer, 33, defiantly took to Instagram on Tuesday night to address speculation over the status of her relationship and whether she would perform at the BRITs as she jokingly told her fans her sports agent partner, 40, ‘sends his love’.
Adele confirmed she would take to the stage at this year’s ceremony, which will take place next Tuesday night, following swirling rumours she had pulled out after facing backlash for cancelling her Vegas shows at the final hour.

A source said over the weekend: ‘There’s trouble in paradise. That’s why she can’t perform.’
Insiders close to Adele’s camp claimed she had been crying through rehearsals and interrupting them to take phone calls with him.

Adele finalised her divorce from ex Simon Konecki last March and the pair share custody of son Angelo, eight.
The singer and Rich went public with their romance at the NBA Finals in Phoenix, Arizona in July.
Her residency was initially supposed to open last month, with performances scheduled to run through April.
A visibly emotional Adele tearfully told fans, many of whom were already in Sin City at the time, several different reasons behind her pushing back the residency.
‘My show ain’t ready,’ she said.

‘We’ve tried absolutely everything that we can to put it together in time, and for it to be good enough for you. But we’ve been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and COVID.’
Prior to news of her relationship issues, it was also reported the delays were down to the singer being displeased with the set design, particularly over a swimming pool erected in the middle of the stage.

Vegas-based journalist, Scott Roeben Tweeted: ‘Industry source believes Adele’s residency is done at Caesars Palace, as all preparations for the production have stopped, the sets have been loaded out and there’s no activity related to addressing concerns that presumably led to the cancellation.
‘The sound system Adele and her team insisted upon is being taken out, the original equipment is being re-installed. Source believes Adele may be picked up by Park MGM.’
MailOnline has contacted Adele’s representatives for further comment.
And Adele’s cancellation prompted fears she would not go ahead with her performance at the BRITs over concerns of backlash for calling off her residency.

A source told The Sun at the weekend: ‘They are talking to her team to see if she can appear by video link. It’s a massive headache but they want her involved in any way she will agree.’
It has also been reported someone will have to accept her awards, should she be the recipient.
‘Names already mentioned include Sam Smith, and even Ed Sheeran and Dua Lipa – who are both up against Adele for awards – but they are all looking unlikely.
‘They have also made an approach to Stormzy, in the hope that they can persuade him,’ the source said.
Adele has received four nods at this year’s BRIT Awards: Artist Of The Year, British Pop/R&B Act, British Album Of The Year and British Single Of The Year.
