Adam Levine left fans baffled during a rare outing with Behati Prinsloo after the couple walked the red carpet at the 12th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony in Santa Monica on April 18. The 47-year-old singer’s freshly clean-shaven look quickly became the focus, with social media users saying he looked unrecognizable.
One fan asked whether he had a face lift after video from the appearance spread online. Another wrote, “Are u sure that’s ADAM LEVINE?” while a third said, “He has definitely done something lol.” Others compared him to makeup artist Jeffree Star as the comments piled up around the sight of Levine’s new look.
The reaction lands against the backdrop of a scandal that has followed Levine since 2022. While Prinsloo was pregnant with the couple’s third child, he faced cheating allegations and later said he had not had an affair but had “crossed the line” during a regrettable period in his life. In September 2022, he posted that he had used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than his wife in “ANY kind of flirtatious manner.”
Levine and Prinsloo, who packed on the PDA during the red-carpet outing, appear to be moving on as a family. They share daughters Dusty Rose, 9, and Gio Grace, 8, along with a son born in January 2023. The public response to his appearance suggests that, for now, the sharper question is not whether the couple is still together, but why Levine’s face has become the latest part of the story.
