In 2022, Behati Prinsloo’s marriage became front page news thanks to Adam Levine’s DM drama. However, long before the scandal came to light, the now-married couple had a whirlwind courtship. As the model shared with Net-a-Porter, it began in 2012, when a friend introduced them via email. What started as a correspondence about Prinsloo possibly starring in a Maroon 5 video (she ultimately didn’t take the gig) turned into something more. She told the outlet, “It was such a natural correspondence that we kind of fell in love via email.”

According to People, Prinsloo and the “Girls Like You” singer made their first public debut as a couple in October 2012 when they attended GQ’s Gentleman’s Ball. However, they split by May 2013, with a source stating that Levine was dating Victoria’s Secret model Nina Agdal. However, it was a quick romance because Prinsloo and Levine were back on and engaged by July. She recalled to Net-a-Porter, “We broke up for two months, realized that it was the worst decision, then got back together, got engaged, and got married. It was a wild ride!”

The couple wed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in July of 2014, with actor Jonah Hill officiating. Although Prinsloo might not have accepted Levine’s first offer to be in a Maroon 5 music video in 2012, she was in the band’s 2014 video for “Animals,” where things got steamy between the love birds.
