Who is Adam Levine's wife Behati Prinsloo and how did they meet?

Adam Levine and wife Behati Prinsloo have been together for around a decade, having tied the knot in 2014 and since welcoming two children, with their third baby on the way.

The singer, 43, and the model, 34, however have attracted headlines this month after influencer Sumner Stroh, 23, alleged that she had an affair with Adam for about a year.

He has denied having an affair but said he "crossed a line," admitting to using "poor judgement" in speaking to anyone other than his wife in "any kind of flirtatious manner".

The Maroon 5 frontman said he takes "full responsibility" and has taken "proactive steps to remedy this" with his family - who he said are "all [he cares] about in this world."

An interview from 2009 has since resurfaced in which Adam said that "instinctively, monogamy is not in our genetic makeup" and admitted to having previously cheated.

The Mirror approached Adam's reps for comment.

The situation has drawn attention to his wife Behati - who he married in 2014 - though fans may not be familiar with her. Here's a look at her career and how they first met.

Adam and Behati are said to have been first introduced through a mutual friend, exchanging emails initially before meeting in person and developing their relationship.

She said on Watch What Happens Live in 2018: "He got my information through a mutual friend. He was trying to get a girl for a music video. I couldn't do it but we started emailing.

"It was like weeks and weeks, and then finally I went to L.A. for a job and we met. We felt that we knew each other. [...] It was kinda love at first sight," she further told Andy Cohen.

They're said to have temporarily broken up after they began dating. Behati suggested to PORTER Edit magazine that it made them realise that they wanted to be together.

"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!," she told the outlet in 2019.

Their marriage and family

The couple tied the knot in 2014, and welcomed their first child Dusty Rose, now six, two years later. Their second daughter, Gio Grace, now four, was then born in 2018.
