10. Love Connection

So how does a pop band lead singer and a Victoria’s Secret model strike up a love connection? Easy, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Adam Levine and Maroon 5 were one of the performers at the 2011 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show where Levine was first reportedly introduced to Prinsloo, but at the time he was still dating model Anne Vyalitsyna, known as Anne V.

9. Past Loves

Speaking of Anne V, she was Levine’s first major model hook-up! The two met in early 2010 at a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue release party where Maroon 5 was performing, and shortly after began dating. They dated until 2012 when Anne V announced their breakup to People magazine stating, “Adam and I have decided to separate in an amicable and supportive manner. We still love and respect each other as friends. I wish him all the best.” She reportedly didn’t even consult him before making the announcement and broke his heart, but this also means she was the one who introduced him to Prinsloo the year before at the V.S. Fashion Show. As for herself, Prinsloo dated British model Jamie Strachan from 2005 to 2012 before they called it quits.

8. Red Carpet Official

Two months after his “heartbreaking” split from Anne V., Levine was spotted kissing Prinsloo in Hawaii in June 2012 and it seemed that, despite a crushing break-up, it didn’t take much for Levine to fall for another model. Sources quickly said that the while Anne V was dating Adam, “Behati always had a crush on [him]. And she was a little jealous of Anne.” Four months later, in October, Levine and Prinsloo made the relationship red carpet official by attending the GQ Gentlemen’s Ball in NYC together.

7. The Break-Up

After many more months of a developing relationship, things seemed to be going well, that is until Levine shocked everyone when he was caught kissing Sports Illustrated model Nina Agdal in May 2013 while the pair were vacationing in Mexico. At first rumors of cheating surfaced, but it was soon revealed that Levine and Prinsloo had broken up; however, there was no reason given, with one insider stating, “Behati was in and out, but they finally ended it. It wasn’t an abrupt ending.”

6. Engagement

If their abrupt break-up and Levine’s very quick new relationship wasn’t surprising enough, it was more surprising when only two months after he was spotted with Agdal, Levine and Prinsloo were not even back together, but they were engaged! It was reported that, after Mexico, Levine had never talked to Agdal again, but did text her to tell her about his engagement. A year later, the singer opened up about the magic moment in which he asked Prinsloo to marry him while on Live With Kelly & Michael. When asked if he thought there was any doubt she would say “yes,” Levine said, “Man, you know, it doesn’t matter how certain you think you are man, you still get on that knee, and everything turns. You get woozy and you’re like, ‘I’m doing this. Oh my god.’ And like, you can’t be confident about it. I’m confident, but I mean I got on that knee and everything changed immediately. I lost my equilibrium, I had to get on the other knee. I remember one thing I did say, I was like, ‘Both knees, look I got on both knees.’ It didn’t sound charming at all.” Luckily he was charming and confident enough because Prinsloo said yes!

Shortly after their surprise engagement announcement, Levine appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno where he was asked about his new engagement, and his changing views on marriage because of Behati. “Famous last words, ‘I’ll never get married.’ I still don’t necessarily think you have to get married unless you meet someone that makes you want to marry them. And then you marry them and it’s wonderful.”
