  • The influencer went viral for her affair claims – posted right after Levine’s wife, Victoria’s Secret model Behati Prinsloo, announced she was pregnant with their third child
  • Stroh posted screencaps of DMs appearing to show Levine considering naming his baby after her; besides modelling, Stroh also has a YouTube channel and is in fashion marketing

Sumner Stroh, a 23-year old influencer and Instagram model, went viral this week when she posted a TikTok saying she had a year-long affair with Maroon 5 musician Adam Levine.

The video, viewed 21 million times at the time of writing, was posted five days after Behati Prinsloo, Victoria’s Secret model and Levine’s wife of eight years, announced the pregnancy of their third child. (Levine and Prinsloo share daughters Gio Grace, four, and Dusty Rose, five, together.)

In it, Stroh said she “was having an affair with a man who is married to a Victoria’s Secret model”, and said she felt “manipulated”, adding: “At the time, you know, I was young, I was naive, and, I mean, quite frankly I feel exploited. I wasn’t in the scene like I am now. So I was definitely very easily manipulated.”

Stroh said Levine came back into her life months after they’d ended the affair with a June 1 Instagram DM that said he was considering naming his third child “Sumner”. A representative for Stroh previously shared a screen recording of the messages, verifying they were sent from Levine’s account to Stroh’s.

“OK serious question. I’m having another baby and if it’s [a] boy I really wanna name it Sumner. You OK with that? DEAD serious,” the message from The Voice judge read.

She told viewers she “knows the stereotypes” about Instagram models and said she initially planned to handle the matter privately, but shared screenshots “recklessly” with friends. One then attempted to sell the story to a tabloid, prompting Stroh to go public.
