Maroon 5's Adam Levine and model Behati Prinsloo are at the top of their careers, they're totally
in love, and they share a beautiful family together.
But they also have a pretty odd relationship.
Here are some of the stranger facts about their marriage.
An awkward meet-cute
It was not love at first sight for this couple.
Levine and Prinsloo chatted online in 2012 before meeting in person on the set of Maroon
5's boxing-themed music video for "One More Night."
As Prinsloo explained to Access Hollywood Live in 2014, this first physical encounter
was painfully awkward.
As she put it,
"I walked through the door and was like, 'What am I doing here?'
And he had his gloves on and was like, 'This is awkward, hi!'"
But Levine and Prinsloo managed to move past their uncomfortable meet-cute, and then this
slow-burn romance quickly heated up.
They were caught kissing while vacationing in Hawaii shortly after, before making their
red carpet debut in October at the GQ Gentlemen's Ball in New York City.
A perplexing proposal
It's safe to say that Levine's marriage proposal didn't exactly go as planned.
The normally confident pop star was reportedly so anxious that his grand romantic gesture
became super awkward and confusing.
He explained how it went down during an appearance on Live with Kelly & Michael.
"And I got on that knee and everything changed immediately.
I lost my equilibrium, I was like, 'Oh my god.'
I had to get on the other one….
I did say at one point, 'Both knees.'
Like, 'Look, I got on both knees, so…'
And it didn't sound charming at all.
I was like, 'BOTH KNEES.'
She's like, 'What?'"
Despite the awkwardness, Prinsloo, of course, said yes.
As she told Access Hollywood, she liked that it wasn't too crazy, she appreciated that
Levine called her dad, and she actually thought that it was very romantic.
Calling all exes
Just ahead of the couple's big day, reports surfaced that Levine had reached out to all
of his exes because he wanted to kick off his marriage with a clean slate.
An insider told Us Weekly,
"He apologized for how he treated them."
While Levine may have intended for the alleged gesture to be noble, it apparently didn't
go over well with all of his former flames, as some reportedly weren't interested in making
amends with the singer.
As the world mulled over whether Levine's alleged phone calls were totally odd or super
sweet, the singer himself spoke out against the chatter during an appearance on The Howard
Stern Show.
He denied ever having made those calls, but then he grappled with how he actually felt
about the reported move.
He at first said that he thought it sounded like "a fantastic idea," but then he changed
his mind and decided that actually it sounded "selfish and arrogant."
Joined by Jonah
After a year-long engagement, Levine and Prinsloo tied the knot in July 2014 at Flora Farms
in Los Cabos, Mexico.
Their destination wedding was a massive, star-studded affair.
One of the more surprising elements about their big day was that is was officiated by
actor Jonah Hill, who Levine's apparently been friends with since childhood.
Of course, Hill wasn't the only celeb at the wedding.
The ceremony was reportedly attended by 300 guests, including Jason Segel, Erin Heatherton,
and Robert Downey Jr.
As for the music, the reception featured performances from Maroon 5, Sublime, Stevie Nicks, and
even Prinsloo herself.
Taking things to extremes
Levine and Prinsloo marked their marriage in an unconventional way: with tattoos.
Prinsloo considered getting a ring design, but she instead decided to get three dots
on her ring finger.
As she told Yahoo!
Style in 2014,
"It means being one with the earth.
And I just wanted it on my ring finger.
When I take it off, it's still there!"
For his part, Levine went a bit more extreme by getting "True Love" tattooed across his
knuckles.
The couple also got matching tattoos that say,
"you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool."
Prinsloo revealed to Entertainment Tonight that hers is on her side, and Levine's is
on his right bicep.
Let's just hope these two never get sick of their ink because tattoo removal can be one
long process!
Relationship goals
This married pair may have its fair share of quirks, but at the end of the day, Levine
and Prinsloo are still total #RelationshipGoals.
These two never take themselves too seriously and are known to share their funniest and
cutest moments on social media.
Some of our faves include the couple hilariously donning matching baby bumps and going all
out with '80s-themed Halloween costumes.
While there are some bizarre things about this marriage that have us worried about whether
or not it will last, there are also some odd details that are actually encouraging.
Every couple should be weird in their own way, and it looks like Levine and Prinsloo
have embraced being goofy together!
