The lead singer of Maroon 5 Adam Levine, according to an Instagram model, had a year-long affair with her and afterwards requested if he might name his child with wife Behati Prinsloo after her.
In a TikTok video posted on Monday, Sumner Stroh, 23, detailed her claimed extramarital romance with the married pop-rock star.
She referred to Levine’s wife Behati, 34, who is now expecting the couple’s third child, and added, “Basically, I was having an affair with a guy who is married to Victoria’s Secret supermodel.”
I was inexperienced and young at the time. And to be quite honest, I feel taken advantage of. I was absolutely easily persuaded since I wasn’t as involved in the situation as I am today.
The stunning beauty posted photos of Levine’s Instagram conversations, in which he complimented her and said, “It is amazing how f***ing gorgeous you are.” Like my mind is blown.
He said, “You are fifty times sexier in person.”
Stroh, who has over 338,000 Instagram followers, said that she and Levine had been “seeing one other for almost a year” until they lost touch “over a period of months.”
She went on to say that the 43-year-old artist subsequently reentered her life this year when he messaged her once more to let her know that he and his wife of eight years were expecting another kid.
She was shocked when the musician, who had several tattoos, asked her if he could name the kid Sumner if it ended up being a male.
‘Okay, serious query. If I have another child, I really want to name him Sumner if he is a boy. Do you agree with that? A snapshot of the exchanges shows Levine to have said, “DEAD serious.”
Stroh said that after hearing the strange letter, she felt as if she were “in hell.”
“I mean, inadvertently, my morals were violated. In the now-viral TikTok video, she said, “I was totally deceived.”
Stroh said that when she told a friend about the relationship and shared the screenshots with that person, the friend threatened to make her tale public, which made Stroh determined to tell her story on her own.
I preferred to handle things in private. Since I plainly know the consequences of doing what I do, earning what I earn, and being an Instagram model, I have never wanted to come out.
I had carelessly provided some screenshots to some pals I believed to be trustworthy, and one of them tried to sell them to a tabloid.
So, I’m here,” she said.
Although Stroh did not provide a certain time frame for the affair, the claims surfaced only five days after Prinsloo announced her pregnancy in an Instagram post amid intense rumours.
The Namibian beauty was seen flaunting her growing baby bulge earlier this month while dining with Levine in Santa Barbara.
A little over a month after being seen in Maui for their ninth wedding anniversary, the couple was sighted together.
Before being married to Prinsloo in 2014, Levine was nearly as well-known for his long list of model girlfriends as he is for his music and sex appeal.
The pair looked to have one of the strongest marriages in entertainment until Sumner’s allegations, but cracks have been showing in recent weeks.
The couple’s 10-bedroom, 14-bathroom mansion in Pacific Palisades, California, valued at $51 million was sold in May.
The couple travelled to Maui, Hawaii, last month to celebrate their eighth wedding anniversary, but Levine was unable to be seen as Prinsloo was captured looking downcast and by herself on the beach.
Both parties have not recently shared a picture of the other on social media: Prinsloo last appeared on Levine’s page on February 25 in a picture for their tequila with the phrase “Let’s ride.”
