The singer and his wife, model Behati Prinsloo, are committed to “moving on from this matter” to focus on them being a “united family.”
The mother of two and Victoria Secrets’ model is adamant that she too will not speak on the scandal.
Levine told insiders at a Las Vegas fundraiser called The Event, run by his pal Shaquille O’Neal, that he will never discuss the claims from social star Sumner Stroh in public ever.
A production insider from the Las Vegas event said: “Adam and his team made it clear that he is done with this scandal.
“There will be no more comments or even reactions to the accusations. For him a line was drawn with his statement. Adam made it clear he will not talk about this again publicly ever. That is the end of the matter.
“It was made clear to us that his priority is moving on from this – and it is the same for Behati.
“She feels that their priority is their family and prepping for baby number three. “
SHOW OF SUPPORT
The source added: “Shaq was very supportive of Adam and backed him all the way. Even though it was his gala, he made time to speak alone with him in their dressing room.
“The discussion afterwards was that while Adam knew that he made a stupid, stupid mistake, he would not let his friend down for this charity performance.
“Whatever matters went on between the couple behind closed doors, they both felt it was important to make a public show of unity and support Shaq.

“It was clear Behati’s decision to travel to Vegas with her husband was their way of making a public statement, without words, that ‘we are together, strong and still in love’.
“They feel there is nothing more to deal with surrounding this.”
A Los Angeles TV consultant also revealed that Levine has been offered “several opportunities” by major news shows to tell his “side of the story.”
The insider, who works with major networks on brokering exclusive sit down interviews, divulged: “Adam has been asked on by all the major morning TV news shows as well as the prime time entertainment series. He feels no need to explain anything.”
Frontman Levine, 43, performed a 25 minute set with his band, with Prinsloo smiling and clapping in the stage wings, as headline act of the second annual fundraising gala and public concert The Event, at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
LOVED UP
Levine spent much of his performance walking over to the right hand side of the stage smiling and singing to pregnant Prinsloo.
The model, less than 10 metres from her husband, smiled, clapped and laughed during his set of hits.
During some moments Levine, wearing his wedding ring, seemed to focus more on his partner than on the huge audience packed for pal Shaquille O’Neal’s children foundation on October 1.
During the set, which began with Moves Like Jagger, Levine purposefully strode over to Behati’s side of the stage and glared adoringly at her
The mother of his two kids, wearing a black dress, smiled and giggled as he sang his hit Sunday Morning.
POOR JUDGEMENT
The This Love singer has denied having an affair, though he admitted to using “poor judgment” and that he “crossed the line during a regrettable period of my life.”
“In certain instances it became inappropriate; I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family,” he shared in a statement on September 20.
Instagram model Stroh publicly came out last month, alleging their affair lasted a year
Included in the videos were screenshots of their alleged conversation where Levine compliments her looks and asks if he could name his unborn child after her.
In the screenshots she posted, Levine allegedly says, “It is truly unreal how f**king hot you are like it blows my mind. ..You are 50 times hotter in person and so am I hahaha.”
She also claims that he later came back into her DMs asking if he had a baby boy, if he could name the child Sumner. “OK, serious question. I’m having another baby and if it’s [a] boy I really wanna name it Sumner. You OK with that? DEAD serious,” Levine allegedly asked.
Stroh addressed Levine’s relationship with Prinsloo and claimed that she was “under the impression their marriage was over.”
“I’m not the one who’s getting hurt here. It’s Behati and her children, and for that I am so, so sorry,”
Following Stroh’s claims, at least five more women went public with past interactions they’d allegedly had with Levine, primarily via Instagram DMs and texts. Many detailed “weird” messages, with comedian Maryka claiming Levine sent one to her that read, “I’m now obsessed with you.”
Levine, who is dad to daughters Dusty Rose, 6, and Gio Grace, 4, with pregnant Behati, maintained there “was nothing physical.”
