Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel has been married to supermodel Miranda Kerr since 2017 and the pair shares two children together. Let’s meet his spouse and kids.
Snapchat has been one of the go-to social media platforms over the years. Founded on September 16, 2011, the platform is a multimedia instant messaging app and service developed by Snap Inc., originally Snapchat Inc.
One of the principal features of Snapchat is that pictures and messages are usually only available for a short time before they become inaccessible to their recipients.
The founders of the Snapchat are Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown.
Under Evan Spiegel who currently serves as the company’s CEO, Snapchat has seen immense growth.
Since most of the photo apps at the time were advertising ways to make photos prettier or more stylized, they realised the need to do something different. “We wanted a place to share awkward selfies and funny photos with our friends.” Spiegel writes, in his first blog post about how Snapchat was founded.
Away from his works and busy schedules, Evan Spiegel is a husband and a father. His spouse is currently pregnant and expecting another child. Read on for more about his personal life.
Who is Evan Spiegel married to?
American businessman, co-founder and CEO of Snap Inc. Evan Spiegel’s wife is Miranda Kerr. They have been married for 6 years but have been together for close to a decade.
Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel started out as friends. During an interview with Vogue Australia in July 2022, the couple opened up about the first time they met. They had attended a Louis Vuitton dinner at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, where they were seated next to each other.
The pair developed a connection that eventually turned romantic.
Kerr had been separated from her ex-husband Bloom for over a year at the time and was in a stage where she “didn’t really believe in love anymore.” But after she and Spiegel hit it off as friends, their relationship naturally developed into more.
Spiegel proposed to Kerr in July 2016. The model shared the news on Instagram and wrote, “I said yes!!!” alongside a photo of her engagement ring, which was taken with a custom Snapchat filter that featured Bitmoji caricatures of the couple.
Less than a year later, on May 27, 2017, the couple tied the knot in a backyard ceremony at Spiegel’s home in Los Angeles. For the intimate ceremony, the pair recited personal vows in front of about 30 guests, who had been chauffeured to the estate.
Who is Miranda Kerr?
Miranda May Kerr is an Australian model and businesswoman who is regarded one of the highest-paid in the modeling industry. She is also known by many as the spouse of Snapchat CEO and founder, Evan Spiegel.
Kerr rose to prominence in 2007, as one of the Victoria’s Secret Angels. Kerr was the first Australian Victoria’s Secret model and also represented the Australian department store chain David Jones.
The Victoria’s Secret angel was once a Balenciaga exclusive model and has evolved into a spokeswoman, streetstyle superstar and skincare entrepeneur.
Miranda Kerr has established herself at the very forefront of the modelling world and branched out into business, creating a line of skincare products under her Kora Organics brand. Kerr shot to prominence when she was signed as the first Australian to become a Victoria’s Secret Angel; however, Kerr began modelling as a teenager aged 13.
Born in Sydney, Kerr grew up in a small town named Gunnedah in rural New South Wales. The model told The Daily Telegraph, her childhood was “very grounding… there wasn’t any pretentiousness and no one really cared what you were wearing. You could just be you.” Kerr’s first success in the modelling world was winning a nationwide competition put on by Dolly magazine in collaboration with Impulse fragrances. Kerr went on to build strong recognition in the Australian market due to her appearance in Billabong, Tigerlily and Roxy campaigns.
Kerr later moved to New York, where she signed with Next Model Management in 2004. She began her New York career by walking for commercial brands including Baby Phat, Lisa Ho, Levi’s and Rock & Republic. In addition, she appeared in American Elle and Harper’s Bazaar, as well as Australian Vogue. Kerr’s campaign breakthrough came when the model signed an exclusive and lucrative beauty contract with Maybelline New York.
She was signed to become a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2007, when she replaced Gisele Bündchen. Kerr was already confirmed to become the successor of Alessandra Ambrosio as the face of Pink in 2006. Kerr’s popularity continued to increase when she appeared in the Victoria’s Secret’s 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 televised runway shows, all of which aired in four continents.
In 2010, Balenciaga casting director Ashley Brokaw and Nicolas Ghesquière chose her to walk exclusively for the brand’s spring 2010 runway show. It was her first show, aside from Victoria’s Secret, since 2007. A season later, she walked for Prada for the Autumn/Winter 2010 collection in Milan, alongside fellow VS Angels Doutzen Kroes and Alessandra Ambrosio. Kerr appeared in campaigns for Prada and Jil Sander , and was shot by Steven Meisel for the cover of Italian Vogue for the magazine’s September issue. Kerr walked for Balenciaga again in 2011, appearing on the runway just two months after giving birth.
Kerr did not renew her Victoria’s Secret contract in 2010, citing her inability to commit to the time obligations required by the brand. She is continued to focus on independent modelling projects and Kora Organics, her skin care line founded in 2010.
In 2014, Kerr was the face of Swedish clothing brand H&M, and appeared on the covers of Vogue Italia, Japan, Taiwan, Australia. She appeared in Love’s annual advent calendar in 2015, and fronted Riccardo Tisci ‘s Spring/Summer Givenchy campaign in 2016.
How many children does Evan Spiegel have?
Snapchat’s Evan Spiegel is a father and expecting his third child sooner. He has 2 children – all sons.
The names of his kids are Hart Kerr Spiegel, and Myles Kerr Spiegel.
He shares all of his children with his wife Miranda Kerr.
Their son, Hart, was born on May 7, 2018, and was named after Spiegel’s great-grandfather.
“Words cannot explain how happy we are to welcome our beautiful son into our family. Miranda is doing well and Flynn is excited to be a big brother. Thank you for the kind words and wishes during this very special time,” the couple told PEOPLE in an exclusive statement.
Their second son, Myles Kerr Spiegel, was born on Oct. 5, 2019, just 17 months after they welcomed Hart.
Most recently, on Sept. 1, 2023, Kerr shared that they were pregnant with a third son. In Snapchat photos, she posed in a white crop top and jeans while embracing her baby bump. In a different picture, Kerr showed four pairs of white and yellow shoes lined up against a wall, with infant shoes as the last ones. “#boymom?,” she captioned it.
The couple also co-parent Kerr’s son Flynn with her ex-husband Orlando Bloom and his fiancée Katy Perry.
Spiegel told WSJ. Magazine in July 2020 that he admires the harmonious co-parenting relationship his wife and Bloom have built.
“What I saw from Miranda and Orlando was very different from what I experienced,” he said. “I am in no way a replacement for Flynn’s dad. I feel like [I’m part of] Team Flynn.”
He also told E! News in June 2018 that he shares a special bond with the model’s son. “We email. Very emoji-heavy. It’s good!” he said.
The entrepreneur also reflected on becoming a first-time dad. “It’s impossible to describe. It’s a life-transforming event,” he told the outlet. “Now I have a dad grilling set, which is a positive addition.”
Though the couple are busy with their family of five, Kerr told PEOPLE in February 2020 that she was open to having more children with encouragement from her husband.
“I love kids, and I feel so blessed to have three healthy ones,” she said. “I love being a mother of three boys. But I don’t know. I’m definitely loving where we’re at right now with the three of them. And I’m not sure if we will or won’t. I more so know that my husband definitely, probably, wants more, but I’m open.”
