Adele paid a heartfelt tribute to her stepdaughter Reonna on Saturday night at her residency show in Las Vegas.
The 36-year-old singer-songwriter showered praise on her husband Rich Paul’s daughter, who recently graduated from college, during her performance at Caesars Palace’s The Colosseum.
She commended Reonna for being a first-generation college graduate as she made her way back to her highly regarded residency following a three-month hiatus due to health issues.
The singer of Someone Like You, who previously disclosed her desire for a second child at her performance, said that her family was in Georgia enjoying the holidays with her stepdaughter. Nevertheless, she addressed Reonna directly from the stage, referring to her “amazing” achievement as “a f***ing vibe.”
The 16-time Grammy winner, who wed the sports agent in secret and became Reonna’s stepmother last year along with his two other children, instructed the supporters who were filming her onstage to share and publish the footage on social media for her stepdaughter to witness.
“Ensure that you post this video online,” she instructed. “This weekend is my stepdaughter’s graduation from Clark [Atlanta University]. Her name is Reonna, and she’s graduating tomorrow.”

‘I love you, darling. Congratulations! She’s the first family member that’s graduated college,’ she gushed.
‘How amazing is that? It’s a f***ing vibe,’ she said.
About her family, Adele added: ‘They’re all in Atlanta and they’re celebrating her and obviously I’m here with you and I wouldn’t be anywhere else. But I love you, 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢. I love you!’
Reonna later acknowledged the sweet shoutout as she shared the clip on her Instagram Story alongside several teary-eyed emojis and called Adele ‘the best.’
Alongside the recent college graduate, the Hello hitmaker is also a stepmother to Paul’s kids and Reonna’s siblings Richie and Zane.
After secretly tying the knot with Paul in November 2023, the sports agent is also a stepfather to Adele’s 11-year-old son Angelo — whom she shares with her ex-husband, entrepreneur Simon Konecki, 50.
The crooner previously sparked engagement rumors in February 2023 when she was seen wearing a massive diamond on her ring finger at one of her shows.
They ended up secretly getting married later that year, which she later confirmed in an announcement at her close friend Alan Carr’s comedy show that November.
During her residency show on Saturday, Adele also opened up about her plans to expand her family with her now-husband and said she wanted to have a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 girl soon.
The 16-time Grammy winner — who secretly married the sports agent and officially became Reonna’s stepmother last year — told the fans filming her onstage to post and share the video on social media so her stepdaughter would see it.

In between songs, she said that she wanted to welcome a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢 at the end of the year when she is ‘done’ with her residency and ‘all [of] my obligations.’
She admitted to the crowd: ‘Once I am done with all my obligations and all of my shows, I want to have a 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢.
‘I want to have a girl,’ she shared before explaining that was because she already has a boy.
The Easy On me singer also opened up about the type of relationship she thinks she would have with her future daughter.
‘I feel like she might be like the person I love the most in the world, but also prob- ably hate the most in the world,’ she said. ‘That is what I feel will happen.’
She also predicted that her daughter would inherit her confident and headstrong attitude.
As she returned to her acclaimed residency after taking a three-month break due to health concerns, she praised Reonna for being a first-generation college graduate

‘She’s going to put me in my place all the time, isn’t she? With me as her mother and Rich as her father, she’s going to be a bossy little queen, isn’t she?’
Paul had previously made passing references to the prospect of having “more kids” and becoming “an older dad” in an interview with E! News in June 2022, early in their relationship.
Thinking back on his role as a father of three, he stated: “It was difficult for me as a young father growing a business.”
“However, as an older father, I look forward to being a different dad if I were to have more kids.”
