Childhood and youth of Adam Levine
Adam Noah Levine was born on March 18, 1979 in Los Angeles, California to a Jewish family. Having become a celebrity, the singer said that he was grateful to his parents for always giving him the right to choose.
The boy's mother was once a well-known lawyer. Fred Levin (the head of the family) served as a basketball coach. He managed to instill Adam's love for the game.
When the boy was 7 years old, his parents divorced. It was difficult for the boy to realize the fact that from now on mom and dad will live separately. But thanks to the wisdom of his parents, Adam had a warm relationship with his father. He didn't feel his absence at all. He still played basketball with his father. In addition, the new families of the parents gave Adam half-sisters and a brother.
