Adam Levine Praises Wife Behati Prinsloo's Victoria's Secret Return Years After Sexting Scandal

Adam Levine publicly lauded his wife, model Behati Prinsloo, for her appearance at a recent Victoria's Secret Fashion Show event, four years after a public sexting scandal strained their marriage. Prinsloo was among several former Victoria's Secret Angels who participated in the runway show, which was livestreamed on YouTube.

While not in attendance, Levine shared a photo of Prinsloo getting ready backstage on social media, captioning it with "totally and completely and eternally blown away." He also posted a video of himself with their three children—daughters Dusty Rose and Gio Grace, and their youngest son—watching the show and cheering for Prinsloo.

The couple, married since 2014, navigated a significant marital challenge in 2022 when Levine admitted to sending flirty messages to Instagram model Sumner Stroh. Stroh had shared alleged intimate exchanges with Levine on TikTok, claiming he had indicated his marriage was troubled and, after Prinsloo announced her pregnancy with their third child, allegedly told Stroh he wanted to name their unborn baby after her. Levine denied having an affair but acknowledged crossing a line, stating he used poor judgment and had taken steps to address the situation with his family.

In a statement at the time, Levine expressed deep regret, calling the incident his "greatest mistake" and emphasizing his family as his sole priority. He vowed never to repeat such actions. Despite the public controversy, the couple has seemingly reconciled. Prinsloo has continued to post about Levine on social media, including affectionate tributes on Valentine's Day and his birthday.

However, public reaction remains mixed. Comments on Levine's recent posts are reportedly limited, while Prinsloo's comments sections are open and often feature user advice for her to leave him. Representatives for both Levine and Prinsloo did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
