Behati Prinsloo, a lingerie model, has been one of the main faces of Victoria’s Secret and its spinoff brand, Pink, since 2009, and she has become an international sensation. She then met Adam Levine, frontman of the band Maroon 5, and has been in a decade-long relationship with him.
According to Prinsloo on ‘Watch What Happens Live’, Levine first made contact with her through a friend while he was seeking a model for one of his music videos. Even though she was unable to accept the position, she and Levine continued to correspond via email for “weeks and weeks,” and while she was in Los Angeles, they finally went on a date.

Who Is Behati Prinsloo?
In what was then South West Africa, Prinsloo was born in Grootfontein, Namibia. Prior to her birth, her father had a job contract in South Africa; nevertheless, when she was three years old, her family returned to Namibia. She is the only child of church minister father Boet Prinsloo. Magda (née Rossouw), her mother, owns and operates a bed and breakfast. She was schooled in English but comes from an Afrikaner household and spoke Afrikaans as a child. After Grade 9, she quit attending Grootfontein Secondary School to pursue a modeling career. Her modeling career began when she was discovered while vacationing in Cape Town with her grandparents. “We went to the grocery store after church and this guy came up to me and asked if I was a model and wrote his number on a piece of paper…,” she revealed.
Along with Elsa Hosk, Josephine Skriver, and Sara Sampaio, Prinsloo, 30, is a model for the lingerie brand. According to Insider, she initially walked the VS catwalk in 2007 and was awarded the coveted Angel title in 2009, two years later. Due to her pregnancy, she missed the runway extravaganza in 2016 and 2017, but she returned in 2018. Adam is frequently spotted in the front row supporting Behati while she performs. Prinsloo has also walked the runways of upscale fashion. She has walked in fashion week shows for brands like Alexander Wang, Versace, Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang, and others in addition to Victoria’s Secret.

Everything About Behati And Adam Levine’s Relationship
A month after splitting from fellow Victoria’s Secret Angel Anne Vyalitsyna, the Maroon 5 frontman started dating Prinsloo in May 2012. Even though the artist and the Namibian model momentarily split up in May 2013, they couldn’t help but feel a connection, and less than two months later they started dating again. Many of the couple’s fans were shocked when they announced their engagement in July 2013, as they were unaware that they were reuniting. A source disclosed to US Weekly, “After Adam broke up with Behati, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. He realized he really loved her and wanted to be with her.” They tied the knot in a private ceremony in Los Cabos in July 2014 and welcomed two daughters together: Dusty Rose Levine in September 2016 and Geo Grace Levine in February 2018.
The Maroon 5 frontman, 43, and Victoria’s Secret model are expecting their third baby together, PEOPLE confirmed. Levine and Prinsloo went out to eat on Monday in Santa Barbara, where the mother-to-be flaunted her baby bulge in a silk flowery outfit. Prinsloo had discussed the idea of growing their current family of four when speaking with Entertainment Tonight in November. “You know what, never say never. We want a big family, who knows?” Prinsloo told ET. “We’re leaving it up to fate and just what happens. What will happen, will happen. So there are no limits to it.”
