Adele and LeBron James' agent Rich Paul have confirmed their romance, packing on the PDA while enjoying a double date at popular NYC eatery Cipriani on Thursday.

In pictures obtained by The Sun, Rich, 39, can be seen with his arm around the 33-year-old hit-maker, and even appeared to stroke her back at one point.

Clearly giddy with excitement to be in one another's company, Rich's wide smile was visible in the snaps, with the publication reporting that they didn't leave the restaurant until 11pm.

Showing off her slimmed-down frame, Adele looked typically trendy in a black Balenciaga football top, teaming the luxury piece with ripped jeans and a pair of chic heels.

Rich opted for a denim jacket, black jeans and white trainers.

He went mask-free while chatting away to his new partner outside the high-end restaurant, but Adele opted to cover her nose and mouth with a black face mask.

It comes after the pair were spotted looking cosy as they sat courtside at game 5 of the NBA Finals in Phoenix, Arizona earlier in July.

Making a rare public appearance to watch the Phoenix Suns unsuccessfully take on the Milwaukee Bucks in a match watched by millions nationwide, the singer was pictured laughing with Rich, who leant into her.

A source told The Sun at the time: 'They are often seen with other but clearly act like a couple.'

Touching upon their courtside appearance, the paper further reported that TV host Brian Windhorst said during a post-match podcast: 'Rich Paul brings his girlfriend to the game to sit next to LeBron. His girlfriend is Adele.'
