Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr has disclosed the playful message that ultimately led to her marriage with Snapchat co-founder and billionaire Evan Spiegel. The pair's love story began not with a grand gesture, but with a strategic text sent a full month after their first meeting.
The Louis Vuitton Meeting That Started It All
Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel were first introduced in 2014 at an exclusive Louis Vuitton event in Los Angeles. Seated together at the swanky dinner, the then 42-year-old former Victoria's Secret Angel reportedly told the tech entrepreneur, then 35, that her favourite piece of music was Spiegel im Spiegel by composer Arvo Pärt. The evening concluded with an exchange of contact details, but weeks passed without any communication from Spiegel.
According to a resurfaced interview, Kerr decided to take the initiative. Still recovering from her 2013 separation from actor Orlando Bloom, her husband of three years, she sent Spiegel a casual yet pointed message: 'Just wondering – did you ever listen to that song, Spiegel im Spiegel?' This simple text broke the ice and set their future in motion.
From Friendship to a Family of Five
Spiegel later admitted to the Wall Street Journal that his initial silence was due to insecurity; he never believed he 'ever had a chance' with the internationally renowned catwalk star. Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald after their romance became public, Kerr emphasised that they developed a strong friendship before dating. The couple eventually tied the knot in 2017 and now share three sons: Hart, seven, Myles, six, and Pierre, 19 months.
Miranda continues to maintain a harmonious relationship with her ex-husband, Orlando Bloom, with whom she co-parents their 14-year-old son, Flynn. In a recent interview on KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O Show, she confirmed her amicable dynamic with Bloom and his former partner, Katy Perry, stating they are 'one big, happy family' after celebrating their daughter Daisy's birthday together.
Miranda's Surprise Weather Presenting Gig
In a lighter recent development, Miranda Kerr surprised viewers last month by fulfilling a lifelong dream: presenting the weather on Los Angeles' Good Day LA. Introduced by meteorologist Maria Corbin via a breaking news alert, Kerr grinned broadly and announced herself in classic Aussie style: 'Miranda Kerr, from Down Under. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.'
She took to the role with ease, expertly informing Angelenos about a cold front and potential storm, advising them to 'get your jumper, as we say in Australia.' Corbin explained the segment was about fulfilling dreams, to which an excited Kerr replied, 'Yes, I have! Thank you for making my dream come true.'
The model's life today, marked by a successful marriage, blended family, and unexpected television appearances, shows how a single, well-timed text message can chart a course to lasting happiness.
