Model standing by her man

-

SHE hasn’t marooned their marriage. Model Behati Prinsloo was spotted backstage at Maroon 5 rocker Adam Levine’s latest live gig with his band in Las Vegas Saturday night, Page Six has learned.

The show marked Levine’s first public appearance since he was accused of cheating on his pregnant wife Prinsloo, and sending flirty messages to multiple women via Instagram.

Levine took the stage at the MGM Grand Hotel as part of a Shaquille O’Neal charity gala, where celeb guests included former NFL pro Rob Gronkowski and model Camille Kostek, YouTube sensation Logan Paul and classic rapper Flavor Flav.

Levine has denied any affair, but did post a recent statement online saying: “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 of my life.”

O’Neal, who praised Levine amid the scandal, publicly supported the embattled singer while speaking at the event.

“Adam is a friend of mine from [a long] time ago. I always say to myself, you know, I cannot be a hypocrite,” explained the NBA great, who was married to Shaunie Henderson from 2002 to 2011. “Now, I wasn’t the greatest husband in the world, so just because I have a large platform right now doesn’t give me the right to bash other people. He’s great, he’s doing something for the children, he’s always been like that. I’m happy for him. And I wish him luck.”

The former Laker was seemingly referencin­g recent claims made by a model who — along with several other women — accused Levine of sending inappropri­ate and flirty DMs over Instagram, reports The Post’s Emily Selleck.

Levine and Prinsloo have two young daughters and are expecting a third child. Reps have not commented, but the couple has seemingly been putting on a united front publicly.
