Take, for example, Behati Prinsloo and Adam Levine. Both Behati and Adam are accomplished on their own. Behati is an incredibly popular Victoria’s Secret model, and Adam is very well-known as the vocalist of Maroon 5.

Let’s take a look at Behati and Adam’s careers, relationships, and net worth.

Behati Prinsloo: From South African Roots to International Fashion Icon

Behati, born and raised in the South African city of Vanderbijlpark, rose to fame in the early 2000s when a modeling agency in Cape Town discovered her at 16.

Behati has publicly detailed the start of her career.

“I was in Cape Town on vacation with my grandmother and grandfather,” she said. “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 and my grandfather was like, this is so shady. So we went home and told my parents about it and never did anything.”

“And then the next time I was in Cape Town, Noelle [Doukas, daughter of Sarah Doukas, founder of Storm] came up to me and asked me to come into the agency,” she added. “So I finally went in and signed with Sarah right there. I spent the summer in Cape Town and it went really well so they shipped me off to London.”

Shortly after her discovery, lingerie retailer Victoria’s Secret signed Behati on to act as the face of their teen-oriented “Pink” clothing line.

Behati progressed her career as a model and has since walked runways representing designers such as Prada, Chanel, Fendi, Nine West, and even Vogue.

Behati frequently gives interviews and has remained at the forefront of fashion media thanks to her quirky, eccentric, and down-to-earth personality. Her high-profile relationship with Adam Levine also adds to her notoriety.

Adam Levine: Charting the Course of Maroon 5’s Frontman

Adam has been a part of Maroon 5 since the band began in 1994. The two began playing music shortly after Adam was introduced to Ryan Dusick at 15. They soon expanded their band, first known as “Kara’s Flowers,” to include friends Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden, and James Valentine.

The five-man group was discovered while playing at a Malibu beach party and signed to a record label shortly afterward.

Since its formation, the band has endured ups and downs. The band changed its name, Ryan quit, new members joined, and — at one point — Maroon 5 almost broke up.

However, Adam Levine and his unique vocals have been a consistent part of the band since it started. As one of the most recognizable members of Maroon 5, Adam has a significantly higher net worth than the remainder of his bandmates.

While Adam continues to rake in money due, in part, to sold-out Maroon 5 concerts around the globe, the singer has expanded his net worth thanks in part to numerous projects and partnerships outside of his band.

Adam signed on as a spokesman for Yves Saint Laurent and founded Calirosa Tequila, his own liquor company.

The entrepreneur is also one of the longest-tenured mentors on NBC’s “The Voice,” a reality show that aims to launch unknown musicians to fame. Coincidentally, “The Voice” also led to a rise in popularity for Maroon 5.

“I think when the band made [first album Songs About Jane] and had that all going on in the early 2000s, I think I was really young and also, it was a different time,” he told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in 2019. “Then being on The Voice and stuff really changed that even more. It kind of launched me into the bizarre territory of being, I guess for lack of a better phrase, a household name.”

Behati and Adam met over email when the Maroon 5 frontman was scouting actresses for a music video he was working on.

While Behati didn’t end up working on the video, the two stayed in touch via email before eventually meeting in person. After a brief break-up, the two married.

Behati and Adam reside in Los Angeles with their daughters Dusty Rose and Gio Grace. They welcomed their third child — and first son — in January 2023.

Lily, on the other hand, stuck to her signature boho look.

The then 30-year-old model sported an Isabel Marant denim jacket over a black tank top tucked into a pair of J Brand leather skinny pants.

Lily’s accessories — a pair of hoop earrings, an embroidered Isabel Marant canvas belt, a Saint Laurent studded bag, and a pair of tan suede boots — amped up the bohemian vibe of the look.

She shielded her eyes hidden behind a pair of Ray-Ban “Clubmaster” sunnies and kept the rest of her look simple by wearing her hair up into a neat bun and sporting neutral makeup.
