Model Behati Prinsloo and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine have reportedly welcomed their third child months after the couple weathered a scandal hinging on Levine’s social media activity.
People reported Monday that the new baby had arrived, but no further details were made available. Neither Prinsloo, 34, nor Levine, 43, has yet announced the baby news on their social media accounts.
The new arrival joins the couple’s other children, daughters Gio Grace, 4, and Dusty Rose.
Prinsloo, who wed the “Payphone” hitmaker in Mexico in July 2014, revealed in September that she was expecting again. A few days later, Levine was embroiled in a cheating scandal after Instagram model Sumner Stroh alleged on TikTok that she had had an affair with him but had ended things after about a year. Incidentally, she also revealed that their alleged direct messages discussed the name of his future child, and Levine asked if he could name the baby after her.
“The Voice” coach said in late September that he did not have an affair with Stroh but admitted that he “crossed the line” by having “flirtatious” exchanges with someone who was not his wife. And while social media lighted up with memes re-purposing his alleged DMs, more women came forward with alleged flirty messages from him.
Prinsloo, who rose to fame as Victoria’s Secret model, was reportedly “very upset” by the allegations but has appeared to stand by the musician. Alas, we’ll have to wait and see what the couple ultimately named baby No. 3.

LOS ANGELES — Britney Spears is still cranky about people calling the cops to check up on her — and now she’s directed her frustration toward actor Alyssa Milano, who tweeted more than six weeks ago, “Someone please go check on Britney Spears.”
“It saddens me to see things about me from people who don’t know me !!!,” the singer wrote late Tuesday on her Instagram stories, to which she added a photo of Milano’s Dec. 20 tweet. “This definitely feels like a form of bullying !!! Ladies, we are supposed to be rooting for one another not pulling one another down !!!”
Spears — who for a few days last week deactivated her Instagram account, as she’s done many times before — gently chided her fans after a number of them called Ventura County law enforcement the night of Jan. 24 to request a welfare check.
No such check was needed, according to the “I’m a Slave 4 U” singer, who wrote on Instagram after sheriffs left, “I love and adore my fans but this time things went a little too far and my privacy was invaded. The police never entered my home and when they came to my gate they quickly realized there was no issue and left immediately.”
She continued, “This felt like I was being gaslit and bullied once the incident made it to the news and being portrayed once again in a poor and unfair light by the media.” Then she asked fans to respect her privacy.
It’s unclear why Spears decided to focus on Milano’s tweet Tuesday night, or why Milano tweeted it. At the time, right before Christmas, some Very Online fans were again worried about Spears’ safety because they thought they saw her — in a since-deleted video — making a hand signal that means a person needs help.
The same day as the Milano tweet, Spears posted three videos shot in Mexico, where she had gone with hubby Sam Asghari for her 40th birthday on Dec. 2. TMZ reported fans were concerned because they thought she was posting “old” content from the birthday trip, and she had mentioned she was traveling to New York City, though there were no paparazzi photos showing her in the Big Apple.
But “sources close to the singer” told the outlet the couple was in Mexico again and that the content was new. Spears was doing a head fake telling fans she was New York City-bound, TMZ’s sources said.
Spears was under the watchful eyes of a conservatorship — which included intrusive and possibly illegal surveillance — from early 2008 until she was released from it, nearly 14 years later, in November 2021. Since fighting for her personal freedom from oversight, Spears has been subjected to continued oversight from fans concerned about her safety.

Ashton Kutcher isn't quite over ex-wife Demi Moore's memoir, "Inside Out," more than three years after its release.
In an interview with Esquire published Tuesday, he said he was “(expletive)" that Moore revealed details of their turbulent marriage after he worked to keep his personal life away from the public eye.
"I'd finally gotten to a place where the press had really laid off me and [wife] Mila [Kunis], and my life and my family," he said of the time when the memoir was released. "And then the next day, [the paparazzi] are at my kids' school."
Kutcher, 44, and Moore, 60, married in 2005 and divorced in 2013. In her memoir, Moore alleged that Kutcher encouraged the couple to have threesomes and break the "G.I. Jane" actor's sobriety.
After briefly touching on the memoir, which seemed to be a sore spot, Kutcher said, "I don't want to open anything up in that realm." He said he's still in contact with Moore's three daughters, whose father is actor Bruce Willis.
Kutcher also weighed in on the legal battles concerning his former "That '70s Show" co-star Danny Masterson. The latter actor has been accused of raping and assaulting three fellow members of the Church of Scientology at his Hollywood Hills home between 2001 and 2003.
Kutcher said he "[feels] for anybody who feels like they were violated in any way" but wants Masterson "to be found innocent of the charges brought against him."
He said he "can't know" what happened with his former co-star. "I'm not the judge. I'm not the jury. I'm not the D.A. I'm not the victim. And I'm not the accused. And so, in that case, I don't have a space to comment."
