Red Flags In Behati Prinsloo And Adam Levine's Marriage From Our Matchmaker
With Adam Levine's dating history, no one would have ever thought he'd finally settle down — including himself. After getting married to model Behati Prinsloo in 2014, the Maroon 5 singer mused on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" (via the Daily Mail), "I never really thought I would adore it. It's so trippy. I'm a child. How did this happen?" The two have gone on to welcome three children: Dusty Rose, Gio Grace, and a son whose name hasn't yet been revealed. Still, all may not be golden for these lovebirds, as matchmaker and CEO of Exclusive Matchmaking Susan Trombetti sees a lot of red flags in Levine and Prinsloo's relationship.
One thing Trombetti thinks is problematic is Levine's alleged history of promiscuity. "I just can't get past his past behavior, but it is normalized when it comes to musicians and famous people, and almost expected," she exclusively tells Glam. Trombetti adds, "They have people approaching them and throwing themselves at them all the time. The temptation is real, and it's a bit normalized, which is a red flag in and of itself. Significant others in relationships, whether with someone famous or not, all feel the same emotions though: hurt, betrayal, deception, and humiliation." Although it hasn't been confirmed if Levine was physically unfaithful to Prinsloo, a rumor linking him to another model alleged that the former "The Voice" coach may have the personality traits of a cheater.
Adam Levine was in the middle of an alleged cheating scandal with Sumner Stroh
One of the dark sides of modeling is that fame isn't always easy to deal with, which is what Behati Prinsloo learned in 2022. As reported by ET, model Sumner Stroh shared in a now-deleted TikTok that she'd had a relationship with Adam Levine. According to Stroh, Levine sent her a text while Prinsloo was pregnant with her third baby that read, "Okay, 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." Stroh also alleged that the "Payphone" singer told her he was done with his marriage to Prinsloo. After the accusation, Levine shared on his Instagram Stories, "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."
Matchmaker Susan Trombetti sees this scandal as a huge red flag, exclusively telling Glam, "Adam lied in his communications when you heard what Stroh had to say. He led her to believe he and Behati were done. That's an entire other issue on top of cheating. It shows a lack of character and not just poor judgment." She continues, "Wanting to name his baby after her is so violating and disgusting. His wife might have gone along with that, never knowing, and it just crosses so many boundaries." According to Trombetti, if this did really happen, Levine's actions are an example of a narcissistic red flag to be on the lookout for in the dating world.
Adam Levine seems to love attention
Most rockstars love the limelight, which isn't surprising given that they regularly perform on stage in front of thousands of fans. However, Susan Trombetti thinks Adam Levine loves attention a bit too much, particularly from women. "The fact that he needs lots of attention and flirtation from the opposite sex is also ego-driven. The man must be so self-centered to even engage in behavior like that when he has a family, let alone a pregnant wife," she exclusively shares with Glam, referring to his alleged cheating scandal with Sumner Stroh.
Amid all the controversy, a source revealed to People in 2022 that Levine was allegedly talking to more than just Stroh. "He was messaging her, being flirtatious with three women. One of them — she specifically said they have a physical relationship, but he is completely denying that to friends," the insider said. Echoing Trombetti's sentiment about Levine, the source added, "Why would he do this? He liked the attention. He likes it more than most."
Behati Prinsloo seemingly let Adam Levine off the hook too soon
Just a few weeks after Adam Levine was accused of cheating, Behati Prinsloo was reportedly willing to move on from the scandal. "Adam and Behati are trying to put this mess behind them and focus on the more positive aspects of their life together. They feel extremely blessed to have this baby on the way," a source told Us Weekly in early October 2022. On the other hand, Susan Trombetti thinks Prinsloo is just sweeping Levine's indiscretions under the rug. "Behati almost appears to suppress her own emotions in her rush to forgive him. This is bad for her in this relationship," she exclusively tells Glam. "She is putting her feelings on the back burner, and it reeks of the wronged wife dutifully standing by her man when she is crumbling inside. We have seen it time and time again."
Prinsloo kept up appearances two weeks after welcoming her and Levine's third child by posting a picture of them enjoying a night out in February 2023. One follower advised the model, "If [you] don't love yourself enough to leave him, at least love your children enough. You don't 'win' anything by staying with him." Another predicted, "And the cycle started. Wait and see until he cheats on her again." So far, all has been quiet on that front, but there's no telling what the future holds.
Behati Prinsloo's body language toward Adam Levine says it all
It looks like there's some residual resentment coming from Behati Prinsloo after all. Vogue captured Prinsloo and Adam Levine posed together at the March 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars Party, but the singer didn't have "Moves Like Jagger." As he leaned in for a hug, Prinsloo laughed a "No!" and turned her body so that her back was to him. After the awkward dodge, Levine walked away so that she could pose on her own.
The following October, Prinsloo and Levine attended the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and stood on the red carpet together. In a video shared by Page Six, the Victoria's Secret model was seen again posing with her back to Levine, and this time, she frantically grabbed his hand as an apparent show of unison. Susan Trombetti's alarm bells ring at this gesture, and she exclusively tells us, "Her grabbing his hand aggressively during a red carpet moment is putting on a fake display of closeness for the outside world, which is always a red flag." She adds, "I would rather her treat him curtly, so people can see she is angry because she would be expressing her truth. Here, it's a facade." She and Levine may seem affectionate in public, but Prinsloo's hot-and-cold body language has us wondering what goes on behind closed doors!
