Anne V and Adam Levine arrives at The 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards at Staples Center on February 12, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.

Adam Levine is, well, in misery.

After his Sports Illustrated swimsuit model girlfriend of two years, Anne Vyalitsyna, dumped him, she announced it to the world April 2 without giving him a heads-up.

"It was a cheap shot," a pal tells the new issue of Us Weekly (out now). "Anne didn't want it to look like he broke up with her."

The Maroon 5 frontman and Voice mentor, 33 — who was home in L.A. when Vyalitsyna broke up with him from NYC — "was blindsided," says a Levine pal. "Adam's heartbroken. He wasn't even fully sure they were really broken up."

Though Levine didn't predict a split, friends of the couple saw it coming. "Anne said he didn't pay her enough attention," a friend of the model, 26, tells Us.

Another gripe: Levine wasn't planning to propose anytime soon. "As a woman, you get to a point where you want to get married," an insider explains. "Adam wasn't ready to take that step."
