Adele walks slightly ahead of Rich, which, Donaldson explains, means she likely takes the lead in the relationship. This works for some couples and for others it doesn’t.

But in this case, Donaldson knows it’s fine because of the way they’re holding hands. “It tells us that there is love and affection in the relationship,” she says. And Rich’s solid hold on Adele’s hand shows he’s comfortable adjusting to Adele’s needs and lifestyle. Plus, it’s likely she does the same for him.

“Adele’s body language speaks volumes in this image. Her entire body is leaning in towards Rich,” Donaldson says.

Because Adele crosses her legs in Rich’s direction and tilts her upper-body toward him, Donaldson knows Adele’s attention is fully on him.

“Rich, in return, leans into her, too,” she adds. This is “love bug” body language, explains Donaldson. They’re carving out an intimate moment for themselves, despite the crowd and all the eyes on them. They’re proud of their love and think it deserves to be showcased.

“Adele is clearly fully enjoying a moment with Rich,” says Donaldson. “She looks back and her face is fully engaged in a genuine smile.”

By lowering her mask for a moment, Donaldson says, Adele is removing the barriers between them so she can connect with him—even if it’s brief.

This may seem casual, but Donaldson says there’s actually a lot going on here.

At first, Adele’s legs angled away from Rich isn’t a great sign, but she’s clearly focused on the basketball game they’re watching and her knee position proves that.

Still, she and Rich lean into each other and Rich’s knee is pointed toward Adele. Even when they’re attention is on other things, subconsciously, they remain bonded, says Donaldson.
