Adds Shelton, 42, “I am. I’m like a big jungle gym to kids.”
Levine’s daughters with wifeBehati Prinsloo—Gio Grace, 1, andDusty Rose, 2 — are familiar faces behind the scenes of NBC’s hit show.
“If I’m in the room, [kids] are on my arms. They’re hanging off my legs and punching my stomach because it jiggles,” says Shelton. “It’s entertaining to them. You can always find the kids in the room if I’m there.”
