Adam Levine has responded to claims that he had an extramarital relationship while still legally wed to Behati Prinsloo.
“A lot is being said about me right now and I want to clear the air,” the Maroon 5 frontman wrote in an Instagram Story posted Tuesday. “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 in my life.”
He goes on … “In certain instances it became inappropriate. I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family.”
And he says … “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.”
On September 19, the “Sugar” rapper, 43, made waves when the influencer posted charges about their alleged liaison on TikTok. “Essentially, I was having an affair with a man who’s married to a Victoria’s Secret model,” Stroh began. “At the time, I was young, I was naïve and quite frankly I feel exploited. I wasn’t in the scene like I am now, so I was definitely easily manipulated.”
After telling Page Six that the relationship began “last year,” Stroh later in the TikTok video posted a picture of what looked to be a DM chat with Levine on the screen behind her.
“Maroon 5 is practically elevator music at this point, so I’m sure you know who Adam Levine is,” Stroh, 23, continued. “Adam and I were seeing each other for about a year.”Stroh further alleged that after she stopped talking to Levine, he “came back into my life” by sliding into her DMs on June 1. In his alleged message to Stroh, the Grammy winner wrote, “OK serious question. I’m having another baby and if it’s [a] boy I really wanna name it Sumner. You ok with that? DEAD serious.”
In 2014, Prinsloo and Levine became spouses. They have two daughters together, Gio Grace, 4, and Dusty Rose, 5. The couple’s third child together is due soon, according to a PEOPLE report from earlier this month.
