And there were those who criticized his past comments, “Nope. Can’t stand Adam he trash talked [sic] this show. Why would you give him a chair? Will sit this one out. Can’t stand John either.”

Even with the criticism, Levine has people rooting for him after being a coach on the hit show from season one to season 16. He later revealed on “The Ellen Show” that he left “The Voice” to focus on his family. The coach is married to Behati Prinsloo and they have three kids, two girls and a boy.
However, he was grateful for the chance to step back and enjoy this new chapter without the constant work demands.

Previously, only three of his children had been on the chair, so he was thrilled to have all of them together for the first time. The family was all smiles as Legend penned, “My first 4-baby chair pic! Back at The Voice taping Season 27!”
