Not ‘what lovers do’.
Adam Levine previously admitted to cheating before meeting and marrying his now-wife, Behati Prinsloo.
“Instinctively, monogamy is not in our genetic makeup,” the singer told Cosmopolitan in a 2009 interview. “People cheat. I cheated. And you know what? There’s nothing worse than feeling like you’re doing it.”
The 43-year-old “Memories” singer shared the same feelings of remorse on Tuesday after admitting he “crossed the line” by flirting with Instagram model Sumner Stroh.
He said in an Instagram statement: “I used poor judgment to talk to anyone other than my wife in ANY flirtatious way. I haven’t had an affair, yet I crossed the line at a deplorable period of my life. ”
The father-to-be of three admitted that “it became inappropriate in certain cases”, adding that he “has addressed that and taken proactive steps to work with my family to remedy this”.
“My wife and my family is all I care about in this world,” he said, claiming he and the Victoria’s Secret model are working to “get through it together.”
On Monday, Stroh took to social media to claim that Levine had “manipulated” her into having an affair.
“At the time, I was young, naive and frankly, I feel exploited,” the 23-year-old said in the TikTok video, which had more than 17 million views.
The Instagram model later claimed to Vidak For Congress that the couple had a “physical” relationship that started after she “graduated from college in 2021.”

Although Stroh said she hadn’t spoken to Levine in “months,” he is said to have contacted her in June to ask if he could name his unborn child after her.
“He said, ‘Okay, serious question. I’m having another baby and if so [a] Boy, I really want to call it Sumner. Do you think that’s okay? DEAD seriously,” Stroh read in the video as he showed a screenshot of the alleged message.
However, Stroh isn’t the only woman to come forward with receipts.
Model Alyson Rosef and comedian Maryka made their own TikTok videos on Tuesday with alleged screenshots of their conversations with Levine.
In a now-deleted video, Rosef showed one of the messages Levine allegedly sent her that read, “I shouldn’t be talking to you, you know. [that] However ?”
Rosef claimed to have “many more” posts from the Grammy-winning singer, but “didn’t feel like posting everything” due to their inappropriate context.
Before Maryka became involved with the singer, Maryka Levine is said to have asked about his marriage to Prinsloo after he sent her a flirty message.
“Dude, didn’t you just get married?” Maryka asked, to which he supposedly replied, “Yeah, but it’s a little complicated. Things get tough and the vid thing didn’t help. I might get away.”
Levine and Prinsloo were first romantically involved in 2011 before getting married in 2014. The couple share daughters Dusty Rose, 5, and Gio Grace, 4.
Vidak For Congress has reached out to both Rosef and Maryka for comment.
