Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine has publicly shared his admiration for his wife, Namibian model Behati Prinsloo. This followed her return to the runway at the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Sunday, October 18. Levine celebrated his wife’s participation in the high-profile event with an affectionate social media post, years after a major messaging scandal drew intense public scrutiny to their marriage.
Taking to Instagram, the 47-year-old singer posted a photograph of Prinsloo backstage in a dressing area. Alongside the image, Levine expressed his reaction to her look with a short caption, writing that he was “totally and completely and eternally blown away.”
In the photograph shared by the musician, Prinsloo is captured sitting in a backstage dressing room. The 38-year-old model wears a black sleeveless dress featuring delicate lace detailing and pairs it with a simple chain necklace and a small pendant. Her long, golden-brown hair falls loosely past her shoulders as she strikes a confident pose against a background filled with large lighted mirrors and makeup supplies.
Beyond his solo tribute post, Levine also shared a video capturing a family moment. The footage showed the Maroon 5 singer watching the livestreamed runway event alongside friends and family members, including the couple’s three children: daughters Dusty Rose, 10, Gio Grace, 8, and a three-year-old son whose name has not been publicly shared. The group could be seen cheering enthusiastically as Prinsloo walked the stage.
Looking Back at the 2022 Controversy
Prinsloo’s return to the Victoria’s Secret runway and Levine’s public show of support arrive four years after a tumultuous period in the couple’s relationship. In September 2022, the marriage faced severe public attention when Instagram model Sumner Stroh posted a video on TikTok claiming she had engaged in an affair-like dynamic with Levine for roughly a year.
At the time of the viral allegations, Prinsloo was pregnant with the couple’s third child. Stroh released screenshots of direct messages, alleging that Levine had reached out to ask if he could name his upcoming unborn child “Summer.” The disclosure sparked widespread online discussion and criticism regarding the musician’s conduct.
Shortly after the claims surfaced, Levine issued a public statement addressing the controversy on social media. While he explicitly denied having a physical affair, the singer admitted to crossing conversational boundaries.
“I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner,” Levine wrote in his 2022 statement. “I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period in my life… 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.”
Moving Forward Together
Despite the intense media storm surrounding the 2022 scandal, Levine and Prinsloo chose to remain together. Over the subsequent years, the couple has focused on family life and rebuilding their public image as a united front. Prinsloo frequently shares moments featuring her husband across her social media accounts, including tributes for Valentine’s Day and birthday celebrations earlier in the year.
While online commentators continue to debate the past events on social media platforms, Levine’s latest public message underscores a clear effort to champion his wife’s career milestones and celebrate her return to one of fashion’s most iconic stages.
