Hollywood's biggest night wouldn't be Hollywood's biggest night without a little bit of scandal. (Fortunately, this one has nothing to do with Vanderpump Rules.) Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo made their first public appearance together since the Maroon 5 lead singer was accused of having an affair in September 2022, and since the couple welcomed their third child in January. Levine, who seems to be making amends with his wife of nine years, made a triumphant return to Prinsloo's Instagram feed in February.

Levine and Prinsloo attended the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party on Sunday, March 12, along with pretty much every famous person. Levine's buzzed hair was bleached and he wore a black suit with a black V-neck tee underneath. Prinsloo wore a floor-length fitted black sequined dress with green dangly earrings and a sultry winged eyeliner.

In case you need a refresh: Back in September 2022, Sumner Stroh, a self-described Instagram model, revealed an alleged affair with Adam Levine on TikTok. Stroh also alleged that Levine told her he had plans to name his third child with Prinsloo after her. 

Levine admitted to sharing DMs with Stroh but denied following through with any physical affair. “I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner,” the singer said in a statement at the time, per TMZ. “I did not have an affair. Nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period of my life. In certain instances it became inappropriate. I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family. 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.”
