Adam Levine appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and he revealed that he misses being a part of NBC’s singing competition, where he served as a coach.
He told DeGeneres. “I really do miss it,”
“I love the people that I met and worked with, and you all obviously know how I feel about [fellow coach] Blake [Shelton].… I do miss it but I don’t miss how much I had to work. I was constantly working for so many years — very lucky, very fortunate, very blessed and all that — but to just be able to stop in this moment to spend time with my new young family and just have the greatest time ever. ”
The 40-year-old is the father of two girls, Dusty Rose, 3, and Gio Grace, 1, with wife Behati Prinsloo. He announced his departure from The Voice after eight years and 16 seasons as a coach.
He talked about being a full-time parent and said, “Now I’m a stay-at-home dad. I just stay at home and do very little.”
“I’m obsessed with them,” Levine told DeGeneres of his children.
“I know that’s a good thing, because they’re my children … that’s why I don’t do much, because I love hanging [out with them]. I genuinely adore them in a way that I never knew I could adore any little person.”
“You’d think that [Dusty would] like when I sang to her, but she just doesn’t like it that much,” Levine said, smiling. “I wish I was lying.”
He recalled an experience of playing guitar for his older child and just when he thought he was getting somewhere (“I was, like, auditioning for my daughter, which is ridiculous,” Levine joked), Dusty leaned over to touch the guitar and told him, ” ‘Put that down.’’
“I was like, ‘ “Put that down”?’ Cool. Sweet.’ It was the most humbling thing that’s ever happened,” he added. “I don’t know if I have the courage to confront her again and perform music in front of her.”
“Gio loves music,” said Levine. “But yeah, Dusty’s the manager, you know? Gio’s the talent, Dusty’s the manager.”
