Adele has helped a couple reveal the gender of their baby at one of her live shows.The heartwarming moment took place during one of the singer’s performances in Las Vegas, as part of her residency there.In footage shared to their Instagram and TikTok pages, Adele fans Chis Fare and his wife Shantelle Lord managed to catch the eye of the singer and have her pause her set to bring the couple up to the stage and reveal the gender of their baby.Although any placards or signs are banned from being brought into the show, the couple managed to sneak one in, and held up a sign which read “Adele will you do our gender reveal?” during her Weekends With Adele residency show.“No one’s really allowed signs in here, I’m just obsessed that you got one in,” Adele said to the crowd, inviting the pair to the front of the stage.“I’ve never done this,” she added, taking a slip of paper from the pair and ensuring they had someone filming the blessed moment.

Here, Shantelle – who is 18-weeks along in her pregnancy – told the artist: “I’m just honoured that you’re going to do this for us.

We’ve known since 12 weeks and we have been waiting for this moment.”Adele then took a seat on the edge of the stage, ripping open the envelope and telling the crowd, “Shantelle and Chris are having a baby… boy!”, as the couple celebrated and hugged the singer.A post shared by Chris Dare (@chrisdare)“That was amazing!

I’m so happy for you,” Adele said. “That’s so emotional. Oh my God! If and when I get pregnant will you do my gender reveal?”The latter comment seems to refer to a previous interview the singer did with Elle last year, in which she said she “definitely” wants to have more children, but is currently focused on her Las Vegas residency.
