After love rat Adam Levine and wife Behati Prinsloo were pictured smiling on a beach were released, it seems that all is well after his cheating scandal erupted two weeks ago.

The forty-three-year-old Maroon 5 singer denied cheating on his pregnant wife, after model Sumner Stroh claimed that they had a year-long affair in a TikTok video. Following her admission, two other women came out with messages purportedly from Levine.

But could his conduct be down to science? An August study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior journal seems to think so. The authors concluded that infidelity may be contagious. That’s right,…

After love rat Adam Levine and wife Behati Prinsloo were pictured smiling on a beach were released, it seems that all is well after his cheating scandal erupted two weeks ago.

The forty-three-year-old Maroon 5 singer denied cheating on his pregnant wife, after model Sumner Stroh claimed that they had a year-long affair in a TikTok video. Following her admission, two other women came out with messages purportedly from Levine.

But could his conduct be down to science? An August study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior journal seems to think so. The authors concluded that infidelity may be contagious. That’s right, hanging out with sleazebags could make you one too.

The scientists credit “a peer environment that gives the impression that infidelity is acceptable” as a possible cause, “as knowing that others are having affairs may make people feel more comfortable when considering having affairs themselves.”

Could this be the case for Adam Levine? To find out, Cockburn is going to analyze the sexual habits of the singer’s homies

Jonah Hill

The two have been close since childhood, even carpooling to school together. Hill also officiated Levine’s wedding in 2014. Although Hill has no cheating scandals of his own to date, he was involved in the break-up of Rita Ora and Rob Kardashian after it came out that Hill and Ora spent a night together while she was in New York. Maybe this rendezvous was what drove Levine to cheat on his pregnant wife?

Blake Shelton

Blake and Adam had a very public bromance after working together for sixteen seasons of The Voice. While Shelton has been married to singer Gwen Stefani since 2021, her ex, Gavin Rossdale, alleges that Shelton was cheating on his ex-wife Miranda Lambert with Stefani. That affair, Rossdale alleges, is what destroyed his marriage and prompted the quickie divorce. A strong contender for why Levine did the deed.

Matthew Morrison

The Glee star is Levine’s long-time friend and is even signed to his record label. Although Morrison has been married for seven years, it didn’t stop him from engaging in an “inappropriate relationship with a female contestant” when he was a judge on So You Think You Can Dance. In fact, the relationship saw Morrison only appear in the audition stages before he was booted from the show for “inappropriately messaging” the young woman. Perhaps Levine was getting tips on how to DM-slide from his buddy.

***

Cockburn thinks that if Levine is really going to mend his relationship with model wife Behati, he could probably look at rolling with a new squad. Unless of course, you ignore the science and consider Levine solely responsible for his own actions…
