Personal:
Prinsloo married Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine in Mexico on 19 July 2014. They have two daughters: Dusty Rose (born September 2016) and Gio Grace (born February 2018).
Prinsloo has embarked on a charitable trip to Haiti, following 2010's devastating earthquake that caused irreparable damage to the small nation. Partnering with LakayPam, an organization dedicated to helping children in developing nations meet their basic needs, she collected and delivered hundreds of letters of hope from all over the world and helped raise funds.
When she made the journey to Haiti, she was accompanied by a cameraman and his friend. The resulting short film, Letters to Haiti, debuted 7 December 2011, at Milk Gallery in New York.
She also supports organizations trying to protect the black rhinoceros, a critically endangered species native to Namibia and other countries in Southern Africa
