While we doubt she married Evan Spiegel, the billionaire co-founder and CEO of the American social media company Snap Inc., for financial gain, many accused Miranda Kerr of being a gold digger after she started dating her wealthy now-husband.

They started dating in 2015 after meeting at a dinner for Louis Vuitton. The evening they met, Harper’s Bazaar then editor-in-chief Glenda Bailey said to Kerr, “I bet you two are going to get married.”

While promoting her KORA Organics skincare line on Jimmy Kimmel Live in February 2018, Miranda shared how she met her future husband during a work dinner. At the time of the interview, she was pregnant with their first child together.

“We were chatting about, ‘Oh my God, your construction, my construction,’” Kerr said about chatting with Spiegel about having both purchased properties around the same time in California.

“I was like, ‘What, he’s leaving?’” Kerr said when Spiegel left early to prepare for work. “He takes his work very seriously.”

Spiegel thought he “had no chance” with Kerr until the Australian model texted him out of the blue a month later. The couple got engaged in July 2016 and married in May 2017.

“He’s very excited,” Miranda told Jimmy about her son Flynn Christopher Bloom, whom she shares with Orlando Bloom.

“He’s so excited that Evan and I had been together for a while and he was like, ‘When are we going to have another baby brother or sister?’ And we were like, ‘Look, we’ve got to get married first.’”

“So the day after the wedding, he comes running in and he’s like, ‘Mommy, is it in there?’ I was like, ‘Honey, give it a minute,’” adding that Flynn “has a mischievous personality like me. He also has my little chin.”

The Australian model was also called a gold digger when dating Jho Low, a Malaysian businessman from whom she received $8 million in jewelry. Suspected of being the mastermind of the 1MDB fraud, he is now an international fugitive sought by the authorities in Malaysia, Singapore, and the United States.

In November 2015, Miranda Kerr was getting us all in the holiday spirit!

The Victoria’s Secret Angel helped raise the Swarovski Star to the top of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, a 78-foot-high Norway spruce, at the Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.

The then 32-year-old Australian model dared to brave the chilly NYC weather in a stomach-and-calf-baring ensemble.

Miranda wore a geometric-embroidered off-the-shoulder navy blue crop top and a matching figure-hugging cream midi skirt with a similar pattern, both from Peter Pilotto’s Spring 2016 collection.

As the face and new jewelry design collaborator of Swarovski, we weren’t surprised to see that Miranda styled her look with a necklace and bangles from the collection that she designed with the brand.

She wore her hair down in loose waves with a side part and completed her look with red lipstick, which perfectly matched her pumps.
