Adam Levine’s Wife Was Born and Raised In South Africa But Is Originally From Grootfontein, Namibia
Although she now lives in the United States with her husband, Behati Prinsloo is not originally from the North American nation. She was born and raised in Africa, precisely in Grootfontein, Namibia, which was part of South Africa when she was born. The 35 years has no siblings as she is the only child of her parents. She came from a family with high Christian values. While her mother Magda Prinsloo (nee Rossouw) ran a small lodging establishment, her father Boet Prinsloo is a church minister, a pastor of the Episcopal Faith Church of Namibia (EFN) in Grootfontein.
So, even though Behati is now a citizen of the United States of America by the virtue of her marriage to Adam Levine, she is from Namibia and spent most of her early life in the Southern African country. Yet, she has European roots. Behati speaks Afrikaans, the native language of Afrikaners. Her family belongs to this South African ethnic group who are descendants of European (mostly Dutch) settlers in the region back in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Behati hasn’t forsaken her roots despite the fact that she has not lived in Africa since she was in 9th Grade. Namibia remains her home as her parents continue to live there and she does visit them every now and then.
Behati Prinsloo Is a Model and It Is The Source of Her $9 Million Net Worth
Behati Prinsloo has been modeling since 2006. She was in Grade 9 at Grootfontein Secondary School when she left to pursue a career in modeling. Being a pastor’s daughter with no prior modeling experience, her parents were worried but didn’t stop her from going after what she wanted. She was discovered sometime around 2005 while she was on holiday in Cape Town, South Africa, with her grandmother. As the story goes, she was spotted by an agent of Storm Agency, South Africa, as she walked into a grocery store.
She began her career as a Prada and Miu Miu Exclusive model in 2006 before landing gigs for other ad campaigns. In the years that followed, she was featured in various magazines and got to walk in fashion shows for numerous popular brands; from Michael Kors to Ralph Lauren, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, and their likes. She was a Pink contract model in 2008 before she became a Victoria’s Secret Angel the following year. Notably, she consecutively walked in nine Victoria’s Secret Fashion Shows from 2007 to 2015.
From ad campaigns to walking in fashion shows, her career has taken her to countries around Europe and across the world. She has also spread her wings to become a designer. Among other things, she recently designed a fashion and accessories collection for Juicy Couture. Behati has appeared in various music videos, series, and films like Taylor Swift: The 1989 World Tour Live, Hawaii Five-0, and The City. Through all of this, she has accumulated quite an enormous wealth estimated at $9 million which seems insignificant compared to her husband’s $120 million.
