Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo, who tied the knot in 2014, share three children. Their third child and only son arrived in January 2023, joining their daughters, Dusty Rose, 8, and Gio Grace, 6. Levine and Prinsloo have long expressed their desire for a large family. Levine humorously mentioned back in 2014 that he wished for “100 kids.”
In a November 2021 conversation with Entertainment Tonight, Prinsloo shared her thoughts on having more children. “Who knows what the future holds?” she said. “We want a big family, and we’re leaving it up to fate. Whatever happens, happens.”
Levine humorously embraced fatherhood, often sharing stories about the chaos of raising kids, even trying to convince Prinsloo to buy a minivan
Despite allegations of infidelity against Levine in September 2022, a close source revealed to PEOPLE that the couple remained focused on parenting. “Their priority is to be the best parents they can be. Though she’s upset, she is prioritizing her children,” the source noted.
Levine later spoke with Ryan Seacrest about the joys of fatherhood, expressing his love for the chaos of raising three kids. “I embrace the madness,” he said, mentioning that he’s also trying to persuade Prinsloo to invest in a minivan. “A minivan can be a cool, fun ride if you make it your own.”
The family’s everyday life was featured in Maroon 5’s music video for “Middle Ground,” released in May 2023, where Prinsloo, Dusty, and Gio made appearances in the backyard.
Here’s a closer look at the couple’s three children, from birthday celebrations to memorable social media moments.
Dusty Rose, 8
Levine and Prinsloo first announced they were expecting in March 2016, and their daughter, Dusty Rose, arrived on Sept. 21, 2016, in California. Before becoming a father, Levine joked about the unpredictability of parenthood with Kelly Ripa, saying, “We’re just going to dive right in and figure it out along the way.”
Soon after Dusty’s birth, Levine told Ryan Seacrest that being a dad had already been an eye-opener, sharing, “I don’t know much yet, but it’s beautiful how instincts take over.” For Dusty’s first birthday, they celebrated with a unicorn-themed party, complete with balloon animals and a rainbow tutu for their little girl.
Dusty has appeared occasionally on social media, with her face typically blurred or turned away. She even made a brief appearance in the 2018 music video for Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You.”
Dusty’s adoration for her younger sister, Gio, has always been clear. Levine once shared with Ellen DeGeneres how Dusty was always excited to see her baby sister, shouting “Gio!” every morning.
However, Dusty isn’t a big fan of her dad’s singing. Levine once humorously recounted how his attempts to serenade her were met with requests to stop, making him rethink performing for his daughter.
Gio Grace, 6
Prinsloo announced her second pregnancy on Sept. 13, 2017, sharing a baby bump photo captioned “ROUND 2.” Gio Grace was born on Feb. 15, 2018. Her social media debut came shortly after, with Prinsloo posting a picture of her tiny feet. “She’s got her dad’s toes,” she captioned.
Gio’s first birthday in 2019 was a festive occasion, featuring a Moana-themed party filled with balloons, desserts, and a rainbow cake. Unlike her older sister, Gio has a strong affinity for music. Levine described Gio as the “talent” in the family, while Dusty took on the role of “manager.”
After stepping down from The Voice in 2019, Levine expressed his joy at being a stay-at-home dad, reveling in the time he got to spend with his two daughters.
He noted how much he adored them and valued the time they had together. Gio’s 5th birthday in February 2023 was celebrated with a snowy party, complete with snow tubing and a rainbow cake, as shared by Prinsloo on Instagram.
Levine and Prinsloo’s Son, 1
In January 2023, news broke that Levine and Prinsloo had welcomed their third child, a son. Prinsloo later shared the first glimpse of her son in March 2023, posting a picture of his tiny feet.
Their family’s expansion was first confirmed in September 2022, when Prinsloo was seen with a baby bump in Santa Barbara, California. While keeping their baby news under wraps, the model revealed more details during a conversation with Entertainment Tonight in November 2021, sharing how she initially found the idea of more kids daunting but still dreamed of having a big family.
Prinsloo posted a photo of her growing belly on Sept. 15, showing off her third pregnancy in a casual window selfie.
An insider told PEOPLE that before the arrival of their son, the couple was dedicated to family time. “Adam has been very focused on his family after the drama last fall,” the source added, noting how Dusty and Gio were excited about their baby brother.
In November 2023, Prinsloo revealed on The Mother Daze podcast that their third child is a boy, discussing her intense birth experience. Recalling a photo taken just before her son’s birth, she reflected on the surreal moments leading up to his arrival.
