Adam Levine has spoken out.
“A lot is being said about me right now and I want to clear the air,” the Maroon 5 singer writes in a lengthy Instagram story.
He’s addressing the rumors that he had an affair with the Instagram model, Sumner Stroh, who went public with their relationship on TikTok on Monday (Sept. 19). In a viral video, she alleged that she and Levine had a year-long affair and that she was under the impression that he was ending things with his wife, Behati Prinsloo.
“I wasn’t in the scene like I am now. I was definitely very easily manipulated,” Stroh shared.

Her video blew up, garnering over 16 million views, although Levine denies ever having an affair with Stroh.
He continues in his statement, “I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner. I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period in my life.”
He then says he’s addressed his wrongdoings and is taking “proactive” steps to fix things with his family.
The “Memories” singer and the Victoria Secret angel have been together for ten years, married for eight. They share two children together, Dusty Rose Levine (5) and Gio Grace Levine (4), and recently announced a third child was on the way.

“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,” Levines statement continues.
“I will never make it again. I take full responsibility. We will get through it. And we will get through it together.”
Despite his public apology, Stroh doesn’t seem to buy his denial of an affair.
Shortly after his statement, she posted to her story writing, “someone get this man a dictionary.”
