Let me tell you about Adam Levine, the charismatic frontman of Maroon 5, and his incredible journey of love with Behati Prinsloo. Adam has always been known for his taste in stunning models, but when he met Behati, it was game over. The Namibian-born beauty, who became a Victoria's Secret Angel in 2009, completely stole his heart. They tied the knot in July 2014, and their love story is nothing short of a fairytale. So, let’s dive into the details of how this power couple came together and built their beautiful life.
How Did Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo Begin Their Love Story?
Behati Prinsloo’s rise to fame began in Cape Town, South Africa, where she was discovered as a teenager by a modeling scout. This discovery led her to a world of high fashion, where she graced the covers of top magazines and walked in countless runway shows. She quickly became a household name, walking in nine Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows starting in 2007. In 2009, she earned her coveted "Angel" wings, cementing her status as one of the industry's most sought-after models.

Adam and Behati’s love story began in 2012, just a month after Adam's split from his longtime girlfriend, fellow Victoria's Secret Angel, Anne Vyalitsyna. The couple had a brief breakup in May 2013, but it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to them. It made them realize how much they meant to each other. Behati shared with Net-a-Porter in 2019, “We broke up for two months, realized that it was the worst decision, then got back together, got engaged and got married. It was a wild ride!”
Behati also recalled their first meeting, after exchanging numerous emails about her possibly appearing in a Maroon 5 music video. She said, “He took me for dinner, and we talked for hours and had the best time. It was love at first sight. It was crazy.”
When they reunited in July 2013, Adam wasted no time proposing to Behati, and she joyfully accepted. However, the proposal was a nerve-wracking experience for Adam. He admitted on Live! With Kelly & Michael in 2014, “You still get down on that knee, and you get woozy, and you’re like, ‘I’m doing this, oh my God.’ You can’t be confident about it. I’m a confident person, but I got on that knee, and everything changed immediately. I lost my equilibrium. I had to get on the other one.”
Adam confessed that he lost his cool during the proposal, saying, “I had nothing. I usually have some charming thing to say. I remember one thing about it. I did say at one point, ‘Both knees! Look I got on both knees!’ And it didn’t sound charming at all.”

On July 19, 2014, Adam and Behati exchanged vows in a breathtaking outdoor ceremony in Los Cabos, Mexico, surrounded by 275 guests. Their love was further blessed when they announced they were expecting their first child just sixteen months later. Their daughter, Dusty Rose, was born on September 21, 2016, and she quickly gained a little sister, Gio Grace, born on February 15, 2018.
Behati opened up about her experience with motherhood, saying, “I’ve been modeling for 15 years and when I got pregnant, I didn’t want to do anything, I wanted to enjoy my time. I really liked being pregnant and not working. When I got pregnant the second time, I just did the same thing.”

She added, “After my first baby, I had a little postpartum depression, and it was difficult to get back into normal life, but after the second one, everything felt so much easier; it was easier for me to workout, breastfeeding was easier.” She also mentioned that no one pressured her to return to work, not even Victoria’s Secret, who she was under contract with at the time.
“I did the Victoria’s Secret Show eight months after I had Gio. I felt so empowered. I was like, ‘I can do this, I have two kids.’ It was a beautiful journey; I loved being pregnant and I enjoyed getting back to work,” she shared.
Behati also talked about her daughters’ unique personalities, saying, “My daughter Dusty is really funny and bossy. She’s a Virgo; she has such a personality. Gio is cuddly and sweet. I’m excited to see them a little older and really see their personalities develop because I think they’ll be very different.”
After almost a decade of marriage, Adam and Behati continue to find ways to keep their romance alive. “Adam and Behati love to mix it up. They’re into having date nights by themselves at their favorite restaurants, like Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills and Craig’s in West Hollywood. But they also enjoy their family nights at home with their girls, Gio Grace and Dusty Rose. Those nights are the ones they enjoy the most,” a source exclusively told Closer Weekly.
Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo Welcome Their Third Child
In September 2022, Adam and Behati announced they were expecting their third child. Behati shared photos of her growing baby bump on Instagram. This news came shortly before Adam addressed cheating allegations made by multiple women, including Instagram model Summer Stroh.
“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,” Adam wrote in a statement posted on Instagram. “In certain instances, it became inappropriate. I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family.”
He continued, “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.”
According to People, the couple welcomed their third child on January 30, 2023, adding another beautiful
