Adam Levine and fiancée Behati Prinsloo certainly make for an attractive couple.
The Maroon 5 rocker and Voice coach popped the question to the 24-year-old Victoria’s Secret Angel over the weekend.
Anywho, just who is Ms. Prinsloo?
She’s a Preacher’s Kid: “I grew up in a small town in Namibia. My dad’s a minister and my mom runs a bed and breakfast,” she told Fashionsta.com. She describes herself in her Twitter bio as “a born South African, raised Namibian.”
She Didn’t Always Want to Model: In 2005, a then-16-year-old Behati was discovered by the daughter of Sarah Doukas, the scout who discovered Kate Moss, while on holiday in Cape Town, South Africa. In September of the same year, she made her runway debut at the spring Prada and Miu Miu shows in Milan and Paris. She told Fashion Television that the work found her, saying, “I never wanted to model.”
She acknowledges, too, that model life isn’t all glitz and glam. “Living in model flats scarred me for life,” she told Fashionista.com. “Girls are the dirtiest people ever. For the most part the flats would be empty. But then there would be older girls—and I was like 16—who would bring their boyfriends home which was strictly not allowed, and I would hear everything. Or I’d wake up in the morning and there would be like a man in his underwear on the couch. It was awful.”
