The hypocrisy of Adele’s boyfriend Rich Paul who’ll write a tell-all book for cash but ‘won’t talk about personal life’

WHEN you’re writing a deeply personal memoir you would, naturally, expect to be probed about the most intimate aspects of your life in chats aimed at selling copies.

But it seems Adele’s sports agent boyfriend Rich Paul only wants to cash in on certain things.

When asked about the nature of their relationship, he refused to speak about it because he wants to protect his privacy.

During a painfully awkward interview on CBS in the States, Rich was asked to clarify whether he had married the British superstar.

It came after she called him her husband and referred to herself as his wife during a live performance.

Like a cat on hot coals, Rich danced around the subject and said: “You know I don’t talk about my personal life publicly.”

When the hosts continued to grill Rich, he said: “She’s been great. She would agree that we’ve definitely helped each other.

“I’m in a good space, we’re in a good space. Happy. She’s superb.

“She’s been great for me and we’ve been great for each other.

“I’m just not the type of person to put my personal life . . . It’s not for the media. It’s for us.”

Asked if people should call her Mrs Paul, he added: “You can say whatever you want.”

Hang on, what about the personal life you’ve written about so diligently in your new book, Rich?

The memories you’ve prised out of the locker to make a lorry-load of cash for yourself? Is that not your personal life?

As a man who has read every painfully boring celebrity auto- biography under the sun, I can at least give kudos to those stars who actually have the guts to open the floodgates.

With Rich, it appears he is only willing to dish out a carefully edited version of his life, with a major redaction on his relationship with Adele.

Which, to be honest, is the only thing I’d be keen to find out more about.

The blurb on Rich’s book promises to take readers on a “riveting journey” and says, “Paul has always been lucky”.

Too right, given the stellar talents of the woman he’s attracted.

But sorry, Rich, you’ll have to be more than lucky to sell many books this side of the pond.
