Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine on 20 September denied having an affair with Instagram model Sumner Stroh, but admitted he "crossed the line," using "poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner."

US media quoted Stroh saying she was "tricked into having an affair with the singer … saying it happened at a point when she was young and naive — adding she now feels exploited."

On TikTok she showed
screenshots of Levine messaging her, in one instance: "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."
