Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Oct 16, 2015 4:53 PM UTC  by [Olivia B. Waxman](https://time.com/author/olivia-b-waxman/)  ## Olivia B. Waxman Staff Writer Oct 16, 2015 4:53 PM UTC Earlier this month, a [video went viral](http://time.com/4059245/little-girl-heartbroken-adam-levine-married/) showing a little girl in the backseat of the car sobbing when she found out that Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine was married. (His wife is model Behati Prinsloo.) In a new clip from _The Ellen DeGeneres Show_, the recording artist brought a pink rose, got down on the floor, and beckoned to the three-year-old girl named Mila. The star picks her up and gives her a hug, but the little girl seems overwhelmed at the prospect of meeting her crush. We can only imagine being on live TV can naturally have that effect on love. Sitting next to Mia and her mother on the couch, Levine told the host that everyone has been sending him the viral video. When he said “even my wife,” he turned to the girl and joked, “Sorry! Earmuffs!” ### Artists Who Have Never Won A Grammy  Queen John Rodgers—Redferns/Getty Images  Jackson 5 Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images  Spice Girls Ray Burmiston—Photoshot/Getty Images  GLENDALE, AZ - FEBRUARY 01: Recording artist Katy Perry performs onstage during the Pepsi Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show at University of Phoenix Stadium on February 1, 2015 in Glendale, Arizona.
