Supermodel Behati Prinsloo has raised eyebrows after posing a nude picture of husband Adam Levine's and their 14-month-old daughter Dusty Rose on Instagram.

"Same butt different," she captioned the cheeky snap, which showed the father-daughter duo holding hands with their backs to the camera and peach emoji covering their behinds.

It didn't take long for critics to express their concerns in the comment section.

"This is not right he is but naked in front of his daughter #alittleweird," one person said while another added: "This is strange and low key disturbing."

A third accused her of "glorifying the nudity of a child"

However, scores of her 5.2 million followers soon flocked to her defence. "When they start noticing their bodies it's time to not be naked around them they will notice yours & then you get questions. They just babies they don't know what anything is until they are taught!"

Another fan urged fellow followers to take their kinds out of the gutter. "The problem is what you are thinking of when you see this photo. Only that. If you think that, pedophilia is in you. That is sick."

A third pointed out the innocent and revealed that she had the "same picture of my husband and son (without the peaches)"

The Victoria's Secret model announced in September that they were expecting baby number two when she shared a photo of her baby bump on Instagram with the caption "Round 2".

Levine was given the honour of revealing that the sex of their unborn child, which he did on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday (7 November). He told the host: "It's a girl. I'm having another girl."
