Adam Levine and Amy Vachal did not escape being dragged into rumors after they were paired as contestant and mentor on "The Voice." But amid the gossip, the season 9 semi-finalist revealed the Maroon 5 front man was just like a brother to her as she gushed about him after her exit.

In a clip on the "The Voice" YouTube channel after her exit on the show last week, Vachal spoke about how lucky she felt to have been a part of Team Adam.

"I'm still pinching myself about getting to work with Adam," she shared. "He's been just such a good musical hero of mine for such a long time. He's is hands down one of the most brilliant minds that I have ever met."

"One of the biggest things I learned from him is the importance of being passionate about what you want," she added.

Although Amy Vachal as well as Adam Levine have yet to address the rumors that have dragged their names together, the season 9 semi-finalist somehow indirectly clarified the rumors, insisting that the Maroon 5 front man felt like family.

"I really do feel like he's become like a brother to me," Vachal pointed out. "You know, I find myself right now just still wanting to be more like him in a lot of ways."

The "sexual tension" rumors involving the season 9 semi-finalist and her mentor surfaced just prior to her exit on "The Voice."

As reported by OK! magazine, the pair apparently became cold with one another after usually being close as seen on several episodes of the show.

"No one can figure out if they've had an argument or if he's trying to skirt some sexual tension," an insider revealed to the source above.

A report on Gossip Cop reiterated though that the "sexual tension" rumors between Adam Levine and Amy Vachal were not true. The report also said that the said rumors did not in any part become the reason for the season 9 semi-finalist's exit from the show.
