Model Behati Prinsloo, 26, and singer Adam Levine, 36, are reportedly expecting their first child, according to US Weekly.
On March 9, Levine was reportedly looking to take a hiatus from The Voicevictoria to “work on starting his family” with Prinsloo, according to Life&Style magazine. The couple — who married on July 19, 2014 — started dating in 2012. They have both been vocal about their desire to start a family.
Earlier in the week, Prinsloo appeared at a Victoria’s Secret Swim Catalog event to promote the company’s new swimwear line. While she hid her shape with a white shirt, a slight baby bump could be seen.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. Prinsloo Is Reportedly ‘Three to Four Months Along’
Multiple sources of US Weekly stated that Behati “is three to four months along in her pregnancy” and they know the baby’s sex. Amid the news, Levine is said to be “over the moon” at the thought of being a father, the site reported.
Prinsloo — who isn’t showing obvious pregnancy signs thus far — spoke to Entertainment Tonight on March 9 about how she stays fit.
“The secret is you have to keep it up all year. You can’t just be like, ‘Oh, it’s summer, I’m going to do a few things here and there.”
2. Levine Stated He Was Ready to Start a Family a Month After Their Wedding
One month after Prinsloo and Levine tied the knot in Los Cabos, Mexico, Levine told On Air With Ryan Seacrest that they were going to start a family.
“We’re definitely going to do it.”
During a February 10 Entertainment Tonight joint interview with his Voice co-host — Christina Aguilera — Levine wasn’t exactly rushing to have children.
“Oh dude soon. I don’t know Christina. We’re looking at the next year. We have some time.”
He then told Aguilera — who has two children of her own — that “next spring” was when they’d start trying.
3. Parenthood Has Been ‘A Longtime Dream’ for Prinsloo
Becoming a mother has been “a longtime dream” for Behati as told Net-A-Porter that she had “definite” intentions of building a family with Levine.
While Levine and Prinsloo’s travel schedules sometimes have them far apart from each other, she stated that they still remain on the same page. Prinsloo spoke to The Lowdown’s Diana Madison about it.
Just not overthinking it. We call each other every night and we FaceTime… that’s such a huge thing. I think that’s helped everyone in the world.
4. Levine Wants Several Children
Levine had no qualms about wanting to have a large family, as he told Ryan Seacrest during his 2014 On Air With Ryan Seacrest radio interview.
“I want to have 100 kids. I want to have more kids than would be socially responsible.”
During his Entertainment Tonight joint interview, Levine set his sights a significant amount lower.
“[I want] like, 17. Is that reasonable? I love kids so much though. I love seeing kids on the set too.”
Prinsloo’s comments to Obsev earlier this week at the above-mentioned Victoria Secret event, seemingly echoed Levine’s.
“Since [I] was a little girl, I’ve always wanted a family, a big family. I’m an only child so I wanted like 10 kids… for sure.”
5. They Were Reportedly Trying for ‘A Long Time
On March 9, Hollywood Life reported that Levine and Prinsloo were “dying to start growing their beautiful family.” The site stated that the husband and wife had been working on it for “a long time” with no luck.
A Hollywood Life source stated the following in regards to a baby:
Adam and Behati have been disappointed lately that she is not yet pregnant. They have been married a year and a half and she has been off birth control for a long time.
The site reported that the couple even went to see a doctor to see ifn there would be anything they could do to get pregnant.
They have visited doctors and are doing all the right things to facilitate a baby, but nothing. They are trying to be patient and let nature do it’s thing.
