Snap CEO Evan Spiegel and Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr are very influential people, and together they make up one of the world’s most well-known power couples.

While Kerr, 37, is a big name in the beauty and modeling industry, the 30-year-old Spiegel is the CEO of social-media company Snap.

The two started dating in 2015. A whirlwind romance followed, which led to their engagement in 2016. They got married the following year, and welcomed their first child, a boy named Hart, in May 2018 and baby No. 2, a boy named Myles, last October.

Kerr was married to Orlando Bloom until 2013, and they share a 9-year-old son, Flynn. Spiegel had to wait at least six months to meet him, per Kerr and Bloom's rules, but "things are going well," Kerr said. "We're just a modern family now."

While their relationship is mostly private, the duo makes some high-profile appearances, like a May 2016 dinner at the White House with President Barack Obama.

Despite her active presence on Facebook-owned Instagram, Kerr has said she "cannot STAND Facebook," and has been "appalled" at the features it has copied from Snapchat. "Can they not be innovative?" she said. "Do they have to steal all of my partner's ideas?"

However, that hasn't stopped Kerr from being critical of Snapchat when she think it's necessary. After the infamous Snapchat redesign rolled out in early 2018, Kerr reportedly hated the new look and asked Spiegel, "What are you doing?"

When Spiegel isn't running Snap, Kerr says her husband loves to come home and relax with his family. "He acts like he's 50. He's not out partying," Kerr once said. "He goes to work in Venice [Beach, in LA]. He comes home. We don't go out. We'd rather be at home and have dinner, go to bed early."

Kerr revealed in an interview in September a bit about how the couple prioritizes health and wellness. Kerr said she mops the floors of the couple's home with hot water and eucalyptus oil, and turns off almost all of the home's electricity at night — which she likened to "going camping."

Kerr also shared that she has a radiation-blocking sticker on the back of her phone, a nod to a controversial theory that cell phones emit harmful rays that could cause cancer and make people sick. Spiegel later revealed he doesn't have the same sticker on his own phone.

Spiegel said the couple imposes a limit on screen time for Kerr's eldest son, Flynn. He is allowed only 1.5 hours of screen time per week, a rule inspired by Spiegel's own parents not allowing him to watch TV until he was nearly a teenager. But as a result of the coronavirus, Flynn's "screen-time restrictions are out the window," Spiegel told WSJ Magazine.
