Adam Levine is officially returning to The Voice, six years after he departed the show in 2019, and Billboard caught up with the season 27 judges ahead of the premiere.
“It used to get so ugly. You guys don’t even know. We used to scream over each other,” Levine playfully told his fellow coaches — John Legend, Michael Bublé and newcomer Kelsea Ballerini. “I have realized through this process, which has become therapy of some sort, that I was in such a chaotic environment. Me and Blake [Shelton] were slinging hate at each other. Everyone’s yelling and screaming. It was so different. I wouldn’t be able to stomach or handle that at this point. This is the perfect place, I’m in the right place. This is a safe space.

“He brings up Blake at least once a day,” Ballerini joked, referencing the well-known “bromance” between Levine and Shelton, who were both OG coaches on The Voice when it premiered in 2011. Shelton ultimately left the show in 2023, narrowly missing his reunion with the Maroon 5 frontman.
Elsewhere in the conversation, the coaches rejoiced over the addition of Ballerini, who arrives as a first-time coach but previously served as season 16 battle advisor and filled in as coach during season 20, both instances for Team Kelly Clarkson.
The Voice season 27 premieres Monday, Feb. 3 on NBC. Watch Billboard‘s chat with the coaches above.
Adam Levine recently made his highly-anticipated return to “The Voice” after a two-season hiatus, and he wasted no time in addressing the dynamic between him and his longtime frenemy, Blake Shelton.
During the season premiere, Levine joked about the prior “chaotic environment” that existed between him and Shelton, poking fun at their infamous on-screen banter and rivalry.
“It’s good to be back, but I have to say, it’s nice to have a break from the chaotic environment that was constantly being around Blake,” Levine quipped, eliciting laughter from the audience.
The two coaches have a history of playful teasing and friendly competition on the show, with Shelton often making fun of Levine’s fashion choices and Levine firing back with witty comebacks.
Despite their antics, it’s clear that Levine and Shelton have a deep bond and mutual respect for each other, making their dynamic a fan-favorite aspect of the show.
As Levine settles back into his red chair, fans can expect more hilarious moments and entertaining interactions between the two coaches as they navigate another season of “The Voice.”

Still, that won’t prevent the Maroon 5 frontman from making some jokes at Shelton’s expense.
“The best part about being back with The Voice Family is that I don’t have to deal with Blake Shelton,” Levine, 45, quips while chatting with PEOPLE in this week’s issue about his return to the NBC hit series. “I just don’t like him. So, it’s been great not having to be around him. He’s a bad friend…”
“I’m just kidding,” he clarifies. “Of course, I love Blake. And I had to open with a Blake joke because he’s not on the show anymore, yet they still continue.”
Levine and Shelton, 48, were among the four original coaches when The Voice premiered in 2011. The Maroon 5 frontman remained on the show until 2019 when he left after 16 seasons, and Shelton followed a few years later in May 2023 after 23 seasons. During their tenure on the show together, the two became close friends while also poking fun at one another with playful insults and jokes.

Now, Levine is back for season 27 — and he tells PEOPLE he’s been welcomed into the fold again with open arms.
“It’s really great to be back, because I had plenty of time to not be on the show, and to do my thing, and to not have that define me, for lack of a better way of saying it,” he explains. “It was nice to go and just be with my family, and go tour, and do music, and do what I was originally in my mind intended to do: make music and play music.”
“But it’s so nice because now here I am, and it’s totally enjoyable because I’ve had that time,” he continues. “It was such a whirlwind when it started, that all of a sudden it was eight years in and it was just nice to be able to take a break. So, coming back has been fantastic. The family has embraced me with loving arms… A lot of the same people that are working on the set that I’ve missed, and seeing their faces, and doing the work. And it’s been really fun.”

For the upcoming season, Levine will be joined by fellow coaches Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé and John Legend. But, he says, none of them can replace Shelton and the frenemy banter they displayed each week.
“No. No, no, definitely not. There’s no replacing [Shelton],” he says. “The thing that happened with Blake and I, it was so organic, and it was based on our friendship.”

“Because nobody really realizes that we were thrown into this thing that wasn’t a thing yet. Our friendship was based on this not knowing what the hell was happening, and being silly, and stupid with each other,” he explains.
“And that became something that people love to watch. It was very organic, and very unplanned and spontaneous. And all of a sudden we realized people loved watching us talk s— to each other. So, we thought to ourselves, ‘Let’s just do it. And hey, is there such thing as too far?’ And he’s like, ‘No.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, probably not. Let’s just go at it.’ And we just had fun with it.”
As for what he’s bringing into season 27, Levine says he has a renewed idea of his purpose on the show.
“I don’t really see it as a competition anymore, and I know they’re not going to like that, but that’s not what it is. It’s an opportunity for us to share our experiences with the people on the show. And it always has been that,” he shares. “I mean, you definitely get competitive that those juices flow for sure. But I don’t see it as a competition and I don’t think that I can bring anything other than what I have just from life and a career. And I think that’s really valuable for the people on the show that are needing that experience, or that push that help. And that’s what I think we’re there for.”
“I’ve never liked to think of it in terms of a competition, because it’s kind of a ridiculous concept,” he adds. “It’s music, and we’re all supposed to help each other out, and get each other’s backs, and make each other better. So, that’s kind of what it’s really about. The competition, you get lit up by that part of it, especially in the beginning. The blind auditions are very competitive because you really want these really talented singers on the team, and then after that it becomes about something more.”
Season 27 of The Voice premieres Monday, Feb. 3 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.

Supermodel Behati Prinsloo doesn’t often give a personal look at her family life with Adam Levine, but she decided that the holiday season was the perfect time for an update. The 36-year-old fashionista shared a carousel of snapshots that included some sweet moments with the Maroon 5 frontman two years after his cheating allegations.
The first image showed Prinsloo locked in an embrace with Levine whose face was not showing, but his neck tattoos were fully on display. The photo gave the update that curious fans wanted to know about — their marriage is strong and thriving! There was also a candid of the duo engaged in a side hug as Levine nestled into her shoulder and she shared a big smile with the camera lens.

The rare look at their marriage comes over two years after the couple weathered Levine’s “inappropriate” messages with women outside his marriage. The scandal began after Instagram model Sumner Stroh shared her story on TikTok in September 2022. “Essentially, I was having an affair with a man who’s married to a Victoria’s Secret model,” she said in the clip, referring to Prinsloo. “At the time, you know, I was young. I was naïve and, quite frankly, I feel exploited.”
Stroh claimed that she was seeing Levine for “about a year” and shared their private messages during that time. While Prinsloo was expecting their third child, the 45-year-old singer reportedly asked Stroh if they could name the child after her if it was a boy. “My morals were unknowingly compromised. I was completely manipulated,” she added. Stroh also noted in a second video that Levine led her to believe he was separated from Prinsloo while their affair was going on.
In a statement to ABC News in 2002, Levine insisted that he “did not have an affair” with Stroh, but he wasn’t completely innocent either. “A lot is being said about me right now and I want to clear the air,” he wrote. “I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner. I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period in my life.”
“In certain instances, it became inappropriate,” Levine added. “I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family.” The Victoria’s Secret model’s holiday post on Instagram confirmed that the couple is back on track and the issues that plagued them two years ago are firmly in the past.
