Instagram model claims she had an affair with married Adam Levin

An Instagram model has claimed she had an affair with Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, months before he allegedly informed her that he was expecting another baby with wife Behati Prinsloo. 

Sumner Stroh, 23, took to TikTok on Monday to reveal details of her alleged illicit relationship with the married pop rock singer. 

The glamorous brunette, who is now based in Los Angeles after studying at the University of Texas, shared screenshots of their flirty exchanges on Instagram, including one bizarre message where Levine, 43, asked if he could name his new baby after her.

‘Essentially, I was having an affair with a man who is married to a Victoria’s Secret supermodel,’ she said, referring to Levine’s wife Behati, 34, who is now pregnant with the couple’s third child. 

‘At the time, I was young and naïve. And I mean, quite frankly, I feel exploited. I wasn’t in the scene like I am now, so I was definitely easily manipulated.’

The glamorous Instagram model spoke out just five days after Levine's wife, supermodel Behati Prinsloo confirmed she is pregnant with the couple's third child. She is seen showing off her baby bump in Santa Barbara earlier this month

Prior to Sumner's revelations, the couple, who founded tequila brand Calirosa in 2021, had appeared to have one of the strongest marriages in showbusiness. They are pictured at the Calirosa launch party in November 2021 - two months after Levine's rendezvous with Sumner

Stroh pointed to one Instagram DM between the pair, in which Levine writes: ‘It is unreal how f***ing hot you are. Like it blows my mind.’ 

‘You are 50 times hotter in person,’ he adds.   

According to Stroh, who has over 338,000 followers on Instagram, she and Levine were ‘seeing each other for about a year’, until the two lost contact ‘over a period of months.’  

However, the 43-year-old musician would later get back in touch this year to share the news that he was expecting another child with his wife of eight years, she claimed. 

And to her astonishment, the heavily tattooed singer asked if he could name the child Sumner if it turned out to be a boy – a request that Stroh said left her horrified. 

‘Ok serious question. I’m having another baby and if it’s [a] boy I really wanna name it Sumner. You ok with that? DEAD serious,’ Levine said, according to a screenshot of the messages.  

Stroh said she felt like she was ‘in hell,’ upon reading the odd message. 

‘I mean my morals were unknowingly compromised. I was completely manipulated,’ she said in the TikTok video that has since gone viral.

Stroh added that she never wanted to to address the situation in such a public manner and was aware of the consequences of being ‘tied to a story like this.’ 

She said it was only after her friend whom she had confided in about the affair, and to whom she had sent the screenshots, threatened to take her story public – that was she left determined to tell her story herself. 

‘I wanted to handle this privately. I never wanted to come forward because obviously I know the implications that come with doing what I do, making money the way I do, and being an Instagram model,’ she explained. 

‘I had sent some screenshots recklessly to a few friends I thought I trusted and one of them had attempted to sell to a tabloid…So here I am.’ 

Stroh did not specify the exact timeline of the affair, however, the allegations have emerged just five days after Prinsloo confirmed her pregnancy on Instagram post amid heavy speculation. 

Earlier this month, Prinsloo and Levine were snapped having lunch together in Santa Barbara, where the soon-to-be mother-of-three had her burgeoning baby bump on full display. 

The Namibian model is believed to have already been expecting in July, when she was spotted sunbathing in Maui, Hawaii, where she and Levine were celebrating their eighth wedding anniversary. 

Levine, however, was nowhere to be seen in the photos, while Prinsloo was photographed glum-faced and alone on the beach. 

Levine was once almost as famous for his string of model girlfriends as he is for his music and sex appeal before tying the knot with Prinsloo in 2014. 

Until he married Prinsloo in a romantic ceremony in Cabo San Lucas in July 2014, Levine had been the ultimate playboy with a dating career that included Victoria’s Secret models Anne Vyalitsana and Nina Agdal, as well as a rumored fling with Jessica Simpson.

According to Sumner, Levine revealed he is expecting his third child with Prinsloo early next year
