Adam Levine was no stranger to the world of A-list romance within the years earlier than he obtained with present spouse Behati Prinsloo.
Now, as that complete state of affairs goes up within the air amid Instagram influencer Sumner Stroh‘s shocking affair allegations against the Maroon 5 frontman, we figured it might be worth a look back to see Adam’s Cupid-related trajectory.

It all began manner again when within the bygone period of the late Nineties. Seems perpetually in the past, doesn’t it?! But from there to right here, the rock star has been all around the map.
Here’s how issues have gone down…
Jane Herman
Maroon 5 broke out in a REALLY huge manner in 2002 when their debut album Songs About Jane hit the airwaves. The album’s title wasn’t made up out of skinny air, both. There actually was a Jane! From 1997 to 2001, Levine dated his highschool sweetheart, Jane Herman, after which wrote a lot of the band’s preliminary launch about their time collectively.
Tracks like She Will Be Loved and Harder to Breathe are set to long-ago reminiscences of their younger love, and This Love was an ode to the day of the pair’s troublesome breakup in 2001. Levine didn’t speak a ton publicly about his time with Herman, however in 2004, he did uncover somewhat bit about their relationship.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, he defined some in regards to the muse behind his early work, saying:
“I saw this girl at a gas station, and I fell in love with her. I wrote a song about her and played it in the store where she worked. It was an awful song. But she found out about this relatively psychotic boy. She was my muse for years… And then it kind of faded away.”
Faded away??
As for Herman, she went on to jot down for Vogue. Not too shabby!! Today, she owns her personal vogue label — appropriately known as The Only Jane — and is married to filmmaker Marc Webb. They have two younger kids.
Jessica Simpson, Maria Sharapova, and More
Thanks to Songs About Jane, Maroon 5 was an in a single day success. With it, Levine obtained a LOT of consideration from high-profile ladies within the Hollywood sphere. In 2005, he was briefly linked to tennis star Maria Sharapova, and in 2006, he dated A-list singer Jessica Simpson.
Levine and the Newlyweds alum infamously (allegedly!) spent an evening collectively at a Hollywood hotspot that yr. The late-night rendezvous drew paparazzi consideration after Simpson was noticed leaving the lair in Levine’s t-shirt. Oh, the reminiscences!
Those romances have been fairly short-lived, although. Levine was simply coming into his rock star section, in spite of everything, and his dangerous boy fame was solely set to surge from there.
As if to cement that new dangerous boy vibe in stone, later in 2006, Levine allegedly broke issues off with Simpson in a textual content message. Ouch! (FWIW, Levine has since denied that report.)
Rebecca Ginos
After a while as a single man, Levine’s love life piqued our curiosity once more in 2007. That yr, he was linked to El Lay-based cocktail waitress Rebecca Ginos.
After courting for a bit, Levine went on Howard Stern‘s radio present and revealed to the shock jock how he met Ginos at her twenty first birthday celebration, and the 2 “had sex the first night we met.” Hmmm…
The Payphone singer spoke to Rolling Stone about this romance later in 2007, as properly. He instructed the magazine about the way it grew into “something amazing” after its apparently-passionate starting:
“We were casual at first and it turned into something amazing. She just wants to enjoy my company and love me. And I love her. It’s really simple and beautiful. When you’re younger, relationships thrive on drama. And if there’s no drama, you’re bored and it ends. I’m not into that anymore. I know more about myself, which prepares you to figure girls out.”
Possibly a really telling previous quote in mild of a few of Adam’s modern-day points. Just saying!!!
Cameron Diaz
Simpson and Sharapova weren’t the one huge stars to pop up early in Levine’s courting historical past. After splitting from Ginos, Adam was rapidly linked to actress Cameron Diaz.
The two have been first noticed on a lunch date collectively in 2009. Paparazzi photographs led to gossip weblog supposition, and the entire thing ballooned from there!
In reality, the pair went again to the exact same Hollywood hotspot the place Levine and Simpson had beforehand made their mark. Repeat alert!
And Adam had a trick up his sleeve the second time, too: he and the Charlie’s Angels star wore coordinated outfits in matching white tops and blue denims for the outing. Fun!!
The relationship didn’t final, however, hey, Cameron resides her finest life at this level. So she’s moved on, a minimum of!
The Model Era…
After parting from his temporary fling with Diaz, Levine opted to take the mannequin route for some time. German magnificence Janine Habeck and actress Arielle Vandenberg made the reduce for some time, then mannequin Angela Bellotte dated the singer extra severely for a time to ring out the last decade.
Levine truly shut down loads of rumors about his love life round that point, too. In 2012, he spoke to Details about his fame for lusting after beautiful girls, saying:
“There’s two kinds of men. There are men who are f**king misogynist pigs, and then there are men who just really love women, who think they’re the most amazing people in the world. And that’s me. Maybe the reason I was promiscuous, and wanted to sleep with a lot of them, is that I love them so much.”
Oof. Looking again now, that’s positively a super-cringe quote. Yeesh!! Hindsight is 20/20, we suppose…
More fashions got here round within the early 2010s — most notably a prolonged and extra severe romance with Russian-American magnificence Anne Vyalitsyna. The pair have been fairly dedicated for some time, and she or he even appeared in Maroon 5’s 2011 video Never Gonna Leave This Bed. Sadly, they cut up up in April 2012.
Vyalitsyna apparently had no onerous emotions in the direction of Adam afterwards, although gossip mags on the time alleged she was “blindsided” by the breakup. In a latest look on Fashion Police, she mirrored on having misplaced out on love with the longer term star of The Voice:
“I’m such a believer in love. I will love [Adam] forever. He is such a wonderful guy. But we didn’t work out. We still care about each other. He fell in love with someone else. I’m so happy for him.”
Along Comes The One… Sort Of!
By June 2012, just some months after splitting from Vyalitsyna, Adam and Behati have been noticed on a visit to Kauai, Hawaii. But it wasn’t clean crusing from there!
In reality, the pair — who have been reportedly launched by a mutual pal — first cut up up in January 2013. After that, Adam was linked to Gossip Girl star Amanda Setton. Months later, issues with Setton have been over, and Adam had reconciled with the Namibian-born catwalker.
But not lengthy after that, later in 2013, the duo cut up AGAIN! Adam briefly dated one other Victoria’s Secret mannequin within the interim: Danish magnificence Nina Agdal. They have been noticed vacationing collectively in Cabo San Lucas that summer time. Things didn’t final lengthy there, both, and shortly sufficient Adam was proper again with Prinsloo as soon as extra.
The relationship moved fairly rapidly from there: Adam and Behati introduced their engagement later in 2013, and so they obtained married in July 2014 — with actor Jonah Hill the officiant. How enjoyable should which were?!
Two years later, in September 2016, Adam and Behati welcomed their first little one, daughter Dusty Rose, and two years after that they adopted with a second daughter, Gio Grace.
Whew.
That was lots! And now, properly, right here we’re once more. More alleged courting drama — solely this time the stakes are clearly a lot larger, what with a spouse and two kids at house and a 3rd on the way in which.
So, how do you assume all of that is affecting his marriage? Well, on Tuesday, the 2 have been noticed smiling for the cameras, so for the meantime a minimum of, it appears he’s within the clear… for now…
