Maroon 5 member Adam Levine has just now opened about a hilarious anecdote about purchasing a pet for his then-girlfriend, Behati Prinsloo.
While appearing for an interview on Sean Evans’ Hot Ones podcast, he candidly recalled that he was pranked by his friend, Blake Shelton.
“My now-wife, then-brand-new girlfriend, she said she really wanted a teacup pig,” the Girls Like You singer began by saying.
Recalling the conversation with his friend, he continued, “And I didn’t know what that was, but of course the first person I would ask [would be Shelton]… So I asked Blake. I’m like, ‘What’s a teacup pig?’ He’s like, ‘I’ll get you a teacup pig. Yeah, give me five grand.’”
“We had to give it to a little girl on a farm. We’re like, ‘Send us pictures! We can’t wait to not be responsible for this animal anymore! Just show us pictures!’” Levine told the host.
“She sends us a picture like six months later and the pig is like 400 pounds. I’m like, ‘Dude, what if this animal had grown to be this big in my house?!’” the three-times Grammy winner added.
Revealing Shelton tricked him into spending $5000 on a small pig for his girlfriend, he continued, “I’m just like, ‘Blake, bro, $5,000 for a pig that wasn’t a micro pig?’”
“And he’s like, ‘You’re an idiot! There’s no such thing as f—ing teacup pigs, you dumbass!’ So that was a pretty good prank that he played on me,” the 46-year-old singer concluded.
For those unversed, Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo tied the knot in July 2014, and the couple shares three children.
