Adele 'offers to be a surrogate' to gay couple
Adele celebrated a gay couple who got engaged at her concert in Copenhagen, Denmark, by offering to carry their child.
The Hello singer was performing in the Danish capital on Tuesday (03May16) when she welcomed Swedish couple André Söderberg, 18, and Simon Carlsson, 20, on stage after taking a liking to the outlandish plastic eyeglasses they were wearing.
Andre then shocked the crowd and his partner by getting down on one
knee and proposing with a plastic ring.
A video posted by a fan on Instagram shows after Simon said yes,
Adele jumped up and down and then hugged the newly betrothed
pair.
The 27-year-old star then joked with the couple, "Should I be your
surrogate if you have children? I'd love to have a baby with
someone Swedish," according to editors at Britain's The Sun
newspaper.
After the gig, Andre told the publication, "I had been thinking
about asking him to marry me but when Adele invited us to the
stage, it just happened. I thought, 'Why not now?'
"I had a plastic ring on which we had bought earlier in the day
when we were buying costumes, so I took that ring and put it on his
finger. What can I say - I just love him so much!"
His new fiance added, "It was a wonderful night. Everything was
absolutely amazing and Adele is seriously the most wonderful person
on this planet. I'll never forget it!"
The couple are not the first romantics to get engaged at an Adele
gig, as in March (16) the singer spotted a man proposing to his
girlfriend in the crowd at London's O2 Arena. The musician then
invited them on to the stage to share their happy moment with the
audience.
Other stars who have seen couples agree to tie-the-knot at their
concerts include James Bay and Ed Sheeran.
The European leg of the Adele Live 2016 world tour continues in
Berlin on Saturday (07May16).
