Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo: Unveiling the Extraordinary Journey of their Love

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo are a perfect couple from Victoria's Secret. However, their relationship faced its fair share of challenges. Levine, the lead singer of Maroon 5, started dating Prinsloo in May 2012. This came right after his breakup with another Victoria's Secret Angel, Anne Vyalitsyna. Despite a brief split in May 2013, Levine and Prinsloo couldn't resist their undeniable bond and got back together less than two months later.

In July 2014, we were the first to report that the couple had gotten married. Since then, Levine and Prinsloo have been blessed with two daughters, Dusty Rose and Gio Grace. Prinsloo revealed in an exclusive interview with Us in December 2018 that Levine is actually stricter than she had anticipated, and she considers herself lucky to have such a hands-on dad. Unfortunately, their relationship faced difficulties after the announcement in September 2022 that they were expecting their third child, when the singer was accused of having a year-long affair with an Instagram model.

Levine refuted the allegations at the time and issued a public apology for engaging in any form of flirtatious conversation with individuals other than his wife. Together with Prinsloo, they continued to progress in their relationship and eventually celebrated the birth of their third child in January 2023.
