In 2019, Levine said on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" that after leaving "The Voice," he was spending "time with my new young family and just (having) the greatest time ever," adding, "Now I'm just, like, a stay-at-home dad. I just stay home and do very little. It's great."

The following year, he suggested it was unlikely he would return to "The Voice," as when a fan on Instagram asked him to come back, he replied, "No thank you."
