Miranda Kerr’s family: her dreams of having three boys came true
''The kids are my number one love.''
By Faye Couros
Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr’s greatest love is her family, and even though she lives a swanky life in Malibu, all she wants is to be with her boys at the end of the day.
In September 2023, the mum-of-three announced that she is expecting her fourth son!
The 40-year-old became a mum for the first time on January 6, 2011, when she and her former husband Orlando Bloom welcomed their only child together, Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland Bloom.

When the couple split up a couple of years later, Miranda found herself navigating life as a single mother, and she shared with Marie Claire how that time in her life bonded her with Flynn.
“We created a little vegetable patch together, and we’d watch the vegetables grow,” she said. “It’s a very tranquil place, and very calming. Flynn is a very sweet boy, and he loves being in nature. It’s very good for his spirits.”
She has famously forged a loving co-parent dynamic with Orlando, who has since had a daughter – Daisy – with Katy Perry.
“We’re just really lucky,” said Miranda about their blended family. “We all like each other’s company.”
Miranda’s oasis with Flynn grew in 2015 when she started dating the CEO and co-founder of Snapchat, Evan Spiegel.
They quickly became a serious couple, and a year later, they were engaged.
In 2016 they tied the knot in an outdoor ceremony, and Miranda stunned in a custom Dior wedding dress designed by the brand’s creative director, Maria Grazia Chiuri.
The couple enjoyed life as a family of three for a couple of years before the Kora Organics founder gave birth to her first son with Evan. Hart was born on March 7, 2018
They wasted no time with baby number three because 10 months later she was pregnant with Myles, who arrived in 2019.
Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel tied the know in 2016.
During a chat with E News, Miranda didn’t hide the struggle of two children under two, at the time.
“It’s definitely a juggling act,” she said. “When most people text me, they’re like ‘How are you?’ I send them the juggling emoji because that’s how I feel, especially with my two youngest ones, a 1-year-old and a 2-year-old, and I’m still breastfeeding my 1-year-old.”
Even though being a mum is hard work, the former Victoria’s Secret angel couldn’t be more smitten living the life she always dreamed of, especially being a mother of boys.
“I love kids, and I feel so blessed to have three healthy ones. I love being a mother of three boys,” she told People.
But when asked if she would have more children, she was unsure, “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.”
In 2020, Evan told WSJ that he would never pretend or try to be Flynn’s father but that he feels like he is part of “team Flynn”, which sounds like the perfect approach to co-parenting.

Never one to share snaps of her sons, the mum of three pays little tributes to her sweet tribe by acknowledging their birthdays, like this post from January 2023, for Flynn’s 12th birthday: “Happy Birthday my darling Flynn 🎂💕🌻 (Which painting do you think Flynn did for his birthday art class?)”
“Happy 5th birthday to our darling Hart!”
Miranda continues to celebrate her sons’ birthdays by making cakes that showcase what the boys love. A year might have passed by but it’s clear that Hart’s love of Lego is going strong!
Along two photos of Hart’s birthday balloons and his colourful party cake, the model-entrepreneur posted a loving tribute to her third baby.
“Happy 5th birthday to our darling Hart. We are so proud of what a kind and smart boy you are. We can’t wait to see all the wonderful things you will discover and learn this year. Love you with all our hearts 💕🌈🎂”
The celeb couple recently celebrated eight years together, with Miranda writing a loving caption: “💕Mom & Dad 💕
Can’t believe it’s 8yrs tomorrow since we first met. Feels like I’ve known you my whole life and yet every day is more magical than the next. 🌈😍🦋”
Miranda showed off the impressive cake her youngest son, Myles, had for his birthday in October 2022. “Happy 3rd Birthday to our little darling Myles 🎂💕🌈 We love you more than words can express! 🤗” she captioned the snap.
In January 2023, Miranda walked the red carpet with Katy Perry at the G’Day USA Arts Gala in LA. Posing for photographs together on the carpet, the pair also united inside the event where Perry awarded Kerr with the Excellence in Arts award.
For Flynn’s 11th birthday, Miranda paid tribute to her son by penning on Instagram, “Happy 11th Birthday to my little sunshine Flynn! ☀️ You have filled my heart with joy from the very moment you were born. I’m so proud of how kind, creative and thoughtful you are. You inspire me every day 🎂💖🌈.”
To celebrate the birthday of Hart, who was born in March 2018, the proud mama shared a colourful Lego cake, and posted: “Happy 4th Birthday to our darling son Hart 🎂 You are our sunshine ☀️ Love you with all my heart ❤️”
Miranda always works to keep her sons out of the camera lens but the KORA founder posts about the pleasure they find in each others’ company. Sharing a video of a monster truck and sweet snap of her and hubby, Miranda wrote: “Such a fun and playful weekend with our boys 🌈🐻🛻”
Miranda married Evan in 2019 and her ex-husband Orlando Bloom has been in a relationship with Katy Perry since 2016, but the ex-partners continue to happily co-parent their son Flynn.
Miranda told the Ladies First with Laura Brown podcast:
“It’s incredible that [Orlando and I] have been able to find other partners who work really well with us, … Evan and Orlando really get along just as well as Katy and I, so it’s such a blessing, and it doesn’t need to be any other way. It can be harmonious and you can be super kind.”
