Adele and her new boyfriend Rich Paul were at a surprise 80th birthday bash for Patriots owner Robert Kraft in the Hamptons on Saturday night, sources exclusively tell Page Six.
The pop diva and the NBA agent were at the Kraft party — where Lionel Richie performed and David Spade did stand-up, we hear — along with A-list guests including Jon Bon Jovi, Kenny Chesney, Meek Mill, Billie Jean King and Gayle King.
Adele and Paul were also reportedly spotted on a double date on Thursday night in Manhattan.
Paul reps NBA stars including LeBron James.
Kraft’s surprise party was held at the $50 million Bridgehampton mansion of 76ers co-owner and Fanatics mogul Michael Rubin, sources said. Kraft’s actual birthday was last month, and we previously reported that he was gifted a new Bentley by pals, including Meek Mill, Rubin and Jay-Z.
Kraft’s surprise party was thrown by his sons Jonathan, Dan and Josh, as well as the billionaire’s partner, Dana Blumberg, we hear. Rubin and his girlfriend, Camille Fishel, kept the details under wraps, since Kraft thought he was attending a birthday dinner party for Rubin.
Also at the bash for 200 close friends and family were entertainment bigwigs David Zaslav, Shari Redstone, Ari Emanuel and Casey Wasserman, as well as business moguls Ken Langone, Richard LeFrak, Barry Sternlicht, Bill Ford, Greg Mondre, Ben Horowitz, Bobby Kotick, Marc Casper, José E. Almeida and Mary Erdoes, plus real estate entrepreneur David Adelman and Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan.
From the sports world were NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, NBA commissioner Adam Silver and MLS commissioner Don Garber, plus Chargers owner Dean Spanos, 76ers co-owner Josh Harris, Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck and Bucks owner Marc Lasry.
Pats coach Bill Belichick was also at the soiree, along with past and present New England players Julian Edelman, Andre Tippett, Devin McCourty and Drew Bledsoe.
One teammate who was noticeably absent was Tom Brady. But Brady did comment on a pic posted to Instagram from the party of Rubin, Kraft and Bledsoe by saying: “[Three] amazing guys right there and nobody taught me more than [Bledsoe], one of the NFL greats.”
Bledsoe — who famously lost his Patriots job to Brady — then joked to commenters, “Easy! Tommy was my backup buddy!”
Bledsoe also provided the party with his own Doubleback wine brand — in bottles specially made with an illustration of Kraft and the words, “Sweetheart, you gotta call me RKK.” (That Kraft quote was made famous during a 2016 interview with Complex about a line of Pats-branded Nike Air Force 1 sneakers.)
Sources said that the Kraft birthday also cheekily included the same “Sweetheart, you gotta call me RKK” quote on napkins and pillows, and that Kraft’s “RKK” initials were spelled out in a sculpture of Air Force 1s. The NFL owner is a noted sneakerhead.
Richie sang “Happy Birthday” during his set, and we hear that comedian Spade’s set was hilarious. There was also a cigar roller.
Page Six also reported that Endeavor superagent Emanuel previously gifted Kraft a “Shih-Poo” puppy for his birthday. (No word on whether the dog attended.)
Rubin last month hosted a wild July Fourth party at his home with guests including Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Alex Rodriguez and Travis Scott. Kraft also recently purchased a Hamptons home nearby for $43 million.
Back in 2016, Kraft’s sons also surprised him for his 75th birthday, Page Six reported. The mogul was taken to a plane hangar near Boston and thought he was taking a flight to New York, but was shocked to find 300 guests.
A rep for Adele didn’t immediately get back to us.
