Maroon 5's Adam Levine's 9-year marriage - sweet romance to 'crossing the line'
Popular band Maroon 5 will take over the Dolby Live at Park MGM for the last time on Sunday. They started their Vegas residency back in March.
As the band's iconic string of performances come to an end, we take a look at lead singer, Adam Levine's relationship with his wife, Behati Prinsloo. Adam has been married to the model since 2014.
After almost a decade together, the pair have had two beautiful children together - Dusty Rose, six and Gio Grace, five and a third unnamed child who was born earlier this year.
Behati and Adam met way back in 2013 after he split from fellow Victoria’s Secret Angel Anne Vyalitsyna one month prior. After a rocky start and an eventual split, the model and singer couldn't deny their connection and rekindled their relationship less than two months later.
Then in July 2014, it was revealed that the pair had tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in a tent at Flora Farms in Los Cabos, Mexico. The lavish wedding was attended by 300 guests including Jonah Hill, Jason Segel, Erin Heatherton and Candice Swanepoel. Behati and Adam took to South Africa for their honeymoon before welcoming their first daughter two years later.
Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo 'welcome their third baby together'Dusty Rose was born in September 2016 and Gio Grace in February 2018.
In 2018, Behati told US Weekly that Adam is a "strict" parent, but is "very hands-on" with his kids. She said: "He’s actually stricter than me and I thought I was going to be the strict one. He’s a very hands-on dad. It’s awesome. I’m lucky.”
In September 2022, the couple announced they were expecting their third child. Adam and Behati had previously been open about the possibility of adding to their family of four and in November 2021, the model spoke to Entertainment Tonight and said: "We always knew we wanted a second one. So I think for me in those two years, when I had two babies under the age of 2, I was just like, 'Don't even think about it!' But I do also want five kids, but don't even think about it."
She continued: "You know what, never say never. We want a big family, who knows? We're leaving it up to fate and just what happens. What will happen, will happen. So there's no limits to it. I think it's just kind of where we are in our life. And with COVID too, I was just seeing [Dusty and Gio] together, I'm like, 'Maybe we should have a third just to have more kids,' because it was so sweet to see [them together]. But then I don't know. Never say never."
However, the news was soon overshadowed by claims that Adam was involved in an affair with an Instagram model and was accused of 'wanting to name' his unborn child after her. Instagram influencer Sumner Stroh, 23, went viral on TikTok with allegations about the married singer.
23-year-old Sumner 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 has since shared a statement on his Instagram Stories, in which he denies having an affair but admits to "crossing the line". 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 naïve 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."
