She’s preparing for the start of her long delayed residency in Las Vegas.

She kept comfy in grey tracksuit trousers and New Balance trainers, adding just a touch of designer bling with a Ralph Lauren white quilted bag.

The fresh-faced star sported minimal makeup for the low-key night out.

Sports agent Rich and Adele, who went public with their romance last summer, kept their distance as they left the restaurant and headed to the car.

The singer has been jetting back and forth between the LA home she shares with Rich and Las Vegas, where she will begin her rescheduled residency in November this year.

The singer announced the new dates in July, months after leaving fans thousands of pounds out of pocket when she pulled the plug on her shows with just 24 hours notice. 

Adele had been set to open her Weekends with Adele show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace back in January but cancelled at the very last minute, leaving fans devastated over wasted money on flights and hotels. 

After rescheduled dates for the gig were leaked, the singer took to Instagram in July to confirm the show will start in November as she thanked fans for their ‘patience’ and revealed that priority will be given to existing ticket holders.

Beau: Sports agent Rich and Adele live together in LA, but Adele will spend her weekends in Sin City come November 

Alongside a show poster she penned: ‘Words can’t explain how ecstatic I am to finally be able to announce these rescheduled shows. I truly was heartbroken to have to cancel them.

‘But after what feels like an eternity of figuring out logistics for the show that I really want to deliver, and knowing it can happen, I’m more excited than ever! 

‘Now I know for some of you it was a horrible decision on my part, and I will always be sorry for that, but I promise you it was the right one.

Love: While they have only been seeing each other since last summer, Adele and Rich actually met for the first time at a friend’s birthday party several years before

Serious: They would later reconnect in June 2021, with Adele saying: ‘I didn’t really tell many of my friends at the beginning because I wanted to keep it to myself’

‘To be with you in such an intimate space every week has been what I’ve most been looking forward to and I’m going to give you the absolute best of me.

‘Thank you for your patience, I love you ♥️ Adele.’

The  new dates come after it was reported that the Easy On Me hitmaker had been motivated to ‘push forward’ with rescheduling her Sin City shows after returning to the stage for two sell-out gigs at Hyde Park in London at the beginning of July.

A source told The Sun: ‘Adele loved performing in London and it gave her the drive to push forward with her Vegas residency.

‘Thank you for your patience!’: Adele finally announced her reschedules Las Vegas dates on Monday as she stood by her ‘horrible’ decision to cancel the shows last-minute 

‘An announcement is coming in the next few weeks. Management have asked for a celebration to promote her return.’

Back in January, the Grammy Award winning songstress wept as she explained to fans that she had ‘tried everything’ to get her show up and running but Covid had ‘destroyed’ everything.

She said in a video shared to her social media channels: ‘I’m so sorry, but my show ain’t ready.

‘We’ve tried absolutely everything we can to put it together in time and for it to be good enough for you, but we’ve been absolutely destroyed by delivery delays and Covid.

‘Half my crew and team are [ill] with Covid and still are, and it’s been impossible.’
