Accepting tech mogul’s proposal just a snap(chat) for Miranda Kerr

Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr will tie the knot with Snapchat co-founder and chief executive Evan Spiegel.

The world’s youngest self-made billionaire Evan Spiegel and supermodel Miranda Kerr are to marry.

Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr will tie the knot with Snapchat co-founder and chief executive Evan Spiegel, after she posted an Instagram photo declaring “I said yes”.

Mr Spiegel, who built Snapchat for a class project while he was a student at Stanford University, met Kerr at a Louis Vuitton dinner in New York in 2014.

They began dating in June last year.

The two bought a $US12 million mansion — formerly owned by Harrison Ford — in LA’s ritzy Brentwood last year.

In true tech mogul fashion, the couple added a cartoon version of themselves to the Instagram announcement using Bitmoji — an app Snapchat bought this year for about $US100 million ($133.5m).

Last month, Kerr posted a message on Instagram to wish Mr Spiegel a happy 26th birthday, writing “I feel so incredibly blessed to have you as my partner”.

“He’s 25, but acts like he’s 50,” Kerr said in an interview with The Edit.

“He’s not out partying. He goes to work in (LA’s) Venice. He comes home. We don’t go out. We’d rather be at home and have dinner, go to bed early.”

Mr Spiegel has grown up quickly, having landed in hot water in 2014 when Valleywag released a set of emails he had written during his college career.

As a member of Stanford’s infamous Kappa Sigma chapter, he would brag to his friends via email about his sexual exploits.

He later apologised, writing: “I’m obviously mortified and embarrassed that my idiotic emails during my fraternity days were made public. I have no excuse.

“I’m sorry I wrote them at the time and I was a jerk to have written them. They in no way reflect who I am today or my views towards women.”

Kerr, 33, was previously married to actor Orlando Bloom, from 2010 until 2013, and they have one child, Flynn.

She was linked to billionaire James Packer before dating Mr Spiegel, who is described as the world’s youngest self-made billionaire, with a net worth of about $US2.1 billion.
