Celebrities are no strangers to baby-name drama. Most commonly it involves choosing a name someone else has already used, but Adam Levine is alleged to have taken the awkwardness of reusing a name to a whole new level. According to a TikTok posted by Instagram model Sumner Stroh, Levine recently DM’d her to ask if he could name his new baby “Sumner” after her. The awkward part: Stroh alleges Levine cheated with her.
In the video, Stroh claims that she had an affair with “a man who’s married to a Victoria’s Secret model,” whom she later names as Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine, who is married and shares two children with Behati Prinsloo. Stroh alleges that when the affair began, she was “young,” “naïve” and “easily manipulated,” adding, “quite frankly, I feel exploited.” Stroh is currently 23; Levine is 43. She goes on to share what appear to be screenshots from Levine, which she says he sent her a few months after they stopped seeing each other. “Ok serious question. I’m having another baby and if it’s a boy I really wanna name it Sumner. You okay with that? DEAD serious,” he appears to have written, followed by a single shrugging emoji.

The purported DMs raise a number of questions, including: Is this truly how famous men behave? Levine has not yet commented on the video or alleged affair, though he and Prinsloo did recently announce they’re expecting their third child. Sounds like they may want to brainstorm a few alternative names.
