The "Nerve-Wracking" Step Adam Levine Took Before Proposing to Wife Behati Prinsloo
The Voice Coach had to ask someone else first!
Like many people, Adam Levine knew that if he wanted his partner's hand in marriage, he had to go through their father first.
The Maroon 5 frontman — and current Coach on The Voice — has been happily married for more than a decade to Behati Prinsloo, but there was a "nerve-wracking" moment that he had to endure before the wedding could even take place. During a 2014 appearance on On Air with Ryan Seacrest (as reported by E! News, Levine revealed that he had to ask Prinsloo's father for permission to marry her.)
"I don't want to talk about it – you know how I am — but yes, of course I did," Levine told Seacrest about asking Prinsloo's dad for his blessing. "I had to. And it was extremely nerve-wracking."
For someone as cool, calm, and collected as the rocker, it's endearing for fans to discover that even Levine gets intimidated occasionally!
Spoiler alert: Prinsloo's father approved. On July 19, 2014, the two were married in a gorgeous destination ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The couple went on to have three even more gorgeous children together — Dusty, Gio, and a son — and the rest is history.

These days, Levine juggles being an amazing father and touring the world (sometimes adorably combining those two things), all while attempting to steer Team Adam to success in Season 27 of The Voice!
He's a busy man to say the least, and the 45-year-old rocker wouldn't be where he is today if he didn't ask his future wife's father the most important question of his life.
Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo went into business together in 2021
Levine and Prinsloo, like many great couples, are so in sync that they even went into business together! The couple are co-founders of the spirits company Calirosa Tequila, which began in 2021 and is based in Los Angeles, California.
In a November 2021 interview with ET, Prinslo discussed their decision to start a spirits brand.
"It's honestly been really fun for us," Prinsloo explained. "I think we've always wanted to do something together, and this is such a perfect thing where we have this kind of creative outlet and creative control over things, and also learning so much about a new business that we didn't know about. There's kinks that we have to figure out and things that we don't know, and we are just trying to stay really true to who we are and what we want the brand to be."
