Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo’s Romantic Histories Before Finding Each Other
Behati Prinsloo has kept her dating life quite private, and not much is known about her history. The only other celebrity she has been publicly linked to is Jamie Strachan, a fellow model. The two were linked for quite some time, from 2005 to 2012.
On the other hand, Adam Levine has been linked to several women throughout his career. Notably, almost every single woman he’s ever dated has been a model – his now-wife Behati Prinsloo included.

He has been linked to Jane Bishop (who notably inspired Maroon 5’s studio album Songs About Jane), Maria Sharapova, Rebecca Ginos, Janine Habeck, Arielle Vandenberg, Angela Belotte, Anne Vyalitsana, Amanda Setton, and Nina Agdal. However, once he met Behati Prinsloo, he was ready to settle down.
The Unconventional Meeting of Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo: A Tale of Music and Model
Since both Levine and Prinsloo made it to the top of their respective careers, it only seems fitting that work is what brought them together.
They were connected by a mutual friend who initially set them up so that Levine could hire Prinsloo to play a role in one of his upcoming music videos. The friend talked Behati Prinsloo up to Adam Levine, describing her as a tomboy who would be up for anything.

Although Behati Prinsloo didn’t appear in the initial music video as planned, she and Adam Levine kept in touch through email.
After sending messages back and forth for around a month, the two finally decided to meet in person when Behati Prinsloo was visiting Los Angeles.
They met at a boxing studio where Adam Levine was practicing, and apparently, their very first encounter (with the whole boxing studio’s eyes on them) was a little awkward.

However, after leaving the studio, the two went out to dinner, and any awkwardness went out the door. They sat and talked for hours, completely enamored with one another.
