Miranda Kerr has announced that she is engaged to Snapchat founder Evan Spiegel.

The Australian model, 33, revealed the news on her Instagram account on Wednesday, sharing a picture of her diamond engagement ring.

Kerr, who was previously married to British actor Orlando Bloom, simply captioned the picture: “I said yes!!”

A spokesperson for the tech businessman, 26, told MailOnline: “They are extremely happy.”

The couple met back in 2014 during a dinner for Louis Vuitton in New York and stepped out together as a couple for the first time in June last year.

Speaking about introducing Spiegel to son Flynn, Kerr recently said: “We were really good friends for a long time before we started dating.

“[My ex and I decided] that we had to know the person for six months and feel good about them [before introducing them to Flynn].

“Evan met Flynn, so yeah, things are going well. Orlando thinks he's great. We're just a modern family now!”

The former Victoria’s Secret star started dating ex-husband Bloom back in 2007 and the pair announced their engagement in 2010.

The pair wed the following month and Kerr gave birth to son Flynn on January 6 2011.
