This saga started after Sumner, who has 420k followers on Instagram, took to TikTok to expose her alleged ‘affair’ with Adam Levine—who is married to model Behati Prinsloo and set to welcome his third child with her.

In the video, Sumner said: "Essentially, I was having an affair with a man who is married to a Victoria’s Secret model. At the time, I was young, I was naive. Quite frankly, I feel exploited. I wasn’t in the scene like I am now, so I was definitely very easily manipulated.”

What has Adam Levine said about the allegations? 

Taking to Instagram, Adam shared a statement addressing the claims, which read: “A lot is being said about me right now and I want to clear the air. I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious matter."

He then stated: "I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period in my life. In certain instances, it became inappropriate; I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family," 

Before adding, "My wife and my family is all I care about in this world. To be this naive and stupid enough to risk the only thing that truly matters to me was the greatest mistake I could ever make. I will never make it again. I take full responsibility. We will get through it. And we will get through it together.”
