Adam Levine salutes wife Behati Prinsloo as Maroon 5 starts Las Vegas residency
Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine paid tribute to his Victoria's Secret model wife Behati Prinsloo and their children during the opening night of the band's Las Vegas residency.
The pop group kicked off an eight-show run spanning the next two weeks in Sin City at the Park MGM's Dolby Live Theater on Friday night. Maroon 5 will return to the Las Vegas venue in July and August for a further seven performances.
The show, named M5LV, saw the band play a number of their hit songs, such as This Love, Payphone, and Memories before finishing the two-hour performance with Sugar.
During the 20-song set list, Adam spoke about his adoration for his model wife and their family by saying that he "used to do this for myself and now I do this for them".
Levine and Prinsloo have been married since 2014 and share three children together - Dusty Rose, 6, Gio Grace, 4 and a two-month-old baby, which they welcomed in January.
Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo 'welcome their third baby together'In September, Instagram model Sumner Stroh, 23, claimed she had an 'affair' with Adam after he repeatedly sent her flirty messages among a string of allegations.
She seemed reluctant to name Adam at first, only saying that she was "having an affair with a man who was married to a Victoria's Secret model" before sharing what she claims are messages between them.
Stroh claims that she was "exploited" and "easily manipulated" by the singer, although examples of these allegations were not given by the model.
Adam strenuously denied that he had an affair, but admitted that he had "crossed the line" during the exchanges.
In a statement on Instagram Stories, he wrote: "I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner. I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period of my life.
"In certain instances, it became inappropriate; I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family.
"My wife and my family is all I care about in this world. To be this naive and stupid enough to risk the only thing that truly matters to me was the greatest mistake I could ever make.
"I will never make it again. I take full responsibility. We will get through it. And we will get through it together."
