Maroon 5 front-runner Adam Levine made major headlines a few months ago. He was accused of cheating on his wife as screenshots emerged of his DMs with a model. He is not the first celebrity to be involved in such an issue. Drake, Justin Beiber, and even LeBron James have had their private chats leaked in the past.

Drake’s chats with media personality Mia Khalifa were revealed while Bieber apparently texted a gym employee. Back in 2016, King James sent out a text to a model. He was bashed online for indulging in such activities despite being married to Savannah Brinson. It caused a major stir with multiple angles coming out from both sides.

For instance, back in 2016, his DMs with Instagram model Rachel Bush were leaked. James wrote, “Hey what’s up!” on Instagram. His text came just before a 109-94 Cleveland Cavaliers win over the Atlanta Hawks.

Interestingly enough, Bush happened to attend the game and apparently, James had flown her out for Monday’s game. However, the model’s manager strictly denied such claims. According to her manager, Bush was in town in order to support her boyfriend who was a safety for the Cleveland Browns.

When did LeBron marry Savannah Brinson?

James’ wife, Savannah has been with him for a long time. The two started dating all the way back in high school and she was pregnant by the time James made his debut in the NBA.
