Model Sumner Stroh claims she had an affair with married Maroon 5 star Adam Levine, who asked that his baby be named after her
An Instagram model claims she had a year-long affair with Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine – and he even asked for his baby to be named after her.
Levine, 43, denied having had a physical affair but admitted he “crossed the line” after Sumner revealed flirtatious messages to Stroh, 23.

It comes just days after Levine and his Victoria’s Secret angel wife Behati Prinsloo, 34, announced she is pregnant with their third child.
Sumner made her allegations in a TikTok confession video that was viewed more than 15 million times in 24 hours.
The Texas beauty captioned the video, “I’m embarrassed that I was with a man with this complete lack of remorse and respect.”
She said: “Basically, I was having an affair with a man who is married to a Victoria’s Secret supermodel.
“I was young and naive then. And I mean, honestly, I feel taken advantage of.
“I wasn’t in the scene like I am now, so I was definitely easy to manipulate.
Sumner also shared screenshots of what appeared to be direct messages from the married rocker’s official Instagram account, which has 15 million followers.
He reportedly told her: “It’s really unreal how freaking hot you are. As if it would blow my mind.

“You are 50 times hotter in person.”
Sumner claims they saw each other “for about a year,” though she didn’t give dates.
He reportedly got back in touch via Instagram DMs recently to ask a question that she says left her horrified.
Levine asked, “Okay, serious question. I’m having another baby and if it is one [a] Boy, I really want to call it Sumner.
“Are you okay with that? DEATH serious.”
Sumner said the news made her feel, “I must be in hell at this point.”
She added: “I mean my morals have been unknowingly compromised. I was completely manipulated.”
The model said she reluctantly spoke up to avoid letting the story surface elsewhere.
She claimed she shared the screenshots privately with a friend who threatened to make them public.
Sumner, who also has a racy OnlyFans account, said: “I wanted to keep this private.
“I never wanted to come forward because I obviously know the implications of doing what I do, making money like I do, and being an Instagram model.”
“Biggest Mistake”
The Sun was unable to independently verify the messages to confirm their authenticity.
But Levine appeared to confirm he sent them to TMZ in a statement today.
He said: “I have used poor judgment when speaking to anyone other than my wife for ANY type of flirtation. I didn’t have an affair, yet I crossed a line at an unfortunate time in my life.
“In certain cases it became inappropriate. I have addressed this and taken proactive steps to resolve this with my family.”
And he added: “My wife and my family are all I care about in this world.
“Being naïve and stupid enough to risk the only thing that really matters to me was the biggest mistake I could ever make.
“I will never make it again. I take full responsibility. We will get through it and we will get through it together.”
Levine – a judge on The Voice in the US – began dating Namibian beauty Behati in 2012.
They married in 2014 and have two daughters, Dusty Rose, five, and Gio Grace, four.
In May of this year, they sold their sprawling ten-bed LA mansion for $51 million, about $6 million below the asking price.
Four years after buying it from former A-lister owners Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner in 2018, they’re still making $19 million in profits.
