According to billboard.com, Maroon 5 singer, Adam Levine issued a statement on Tuesday September 20th, denying an alleged affair with Instagram model Summer Stroh, 23 years old. The influencer posted a message on her Instagram Story that many took as a response to the musician. Stroh stated, “Someone get this man a dictionary,” she wrote in the now-deleted post along with a bikini clip, not referring to Levine by name.
Levine posted his own message on his Instagram Stories stating, “A lot is being said about me right now and I want to clear the air, I used poor judgement in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner.” Levine is married to Victoria’s Secret model Behati Prinsloo, who he shares two young daughters with and is currently expecting a third child. He continued stating, “I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period in my life. In certain instances it became inappropriate; I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family.”
On Monday, Stroh stated that she had been involved with a man “who is married to a Victoria’s Secret model” when she was younger. “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,” she said before explicitly naming Levine in a TikTok that featured what appeared to be flirtatious texts between them as the background. She went on to say that they saw each other for a year and that in June, Levine asked if it would be OK to name his baby “Sumner” if it’s a boy, even saying Levine gave her the impression that his marriage to Prinsloo “was over.”
In another video, Stroh attempted to kill the tabloid story apologizing to the people involved and claiming that Levine told her his marriage was over. Levine and Prinsloo have been married since 2014 and share daughters Dusty Rose, 5, and Gio Grace, 4,. Levine continued to state that, “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.”
