During the mid-to-late 2000s, Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom weretheIt couple.

She was the first Australian to become a Victoria's Secret Angel, and he was Will Turner - the blacksmith-turned-pirate we all swooned over in the hit Disney franchisePirates of the Caribbean.

After three years of dating, the couple announced their engagement in June 2010. They married the following month and welcomed their son, Flynn, in January the following year.

But as you'd know, they didn't last - Kerr and Bloom separated and divorced in 2013, and have both formed new relationships and welcomed more children since.

Here's a look back at Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom's relationship, and what their lives look like now.

Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom's relationship.

Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom first crossed paths in 2007, when both of them were at the height of their success.

It was that year Kerr, 25, became a Victoria's Secret Angel, while Bloom, 31, was in the middle of promoting the third instalment ofPirates of the Caribbean.

The Gunnedah native said she was "reluctant" to go out with the actor.

"Not [reluctant] about him, but the idea of [him being a movie star]," the model toldSunday Night. "I think it was his persistence [that won me over]."

It wasn't until April 2008 that the couple went public, when they attended the Randwick Races in Sydney, Australia, a day after the actor met Kerr's parents.

From the early stages until the end, Kerr and Bloom were notoriously tight-lipped about their relationship, and dodged engagement rumours for years - even when Miranda was spotted with an impressive rock on her ring finger in 2009.

In June 2010, Bloom's rep finally admitted it – the world’s most genetically perfect couple were getting married.

Just a month after they confirmed their engagement, Kerr and Bloom married in an intimate ceremony. And the month after that, Kerr confirmed she was four months pregnant.

"I've always been open about wanting to be a mother one day," the model toldSydney Morning Herald, according to Racked. "And I've always thought Orlando would be a great dad."

At 24 weeks, she became the first model to appear on aVoguecover pregnant, posing forVogue Australia.

In January 2011, the Blooms welcomed their son, Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland Bloom.

The couple announced his birth via Kerr's blog: "He weighed 9lb 12 ounces (a very healthy and big baby boy).

"I gave birth to him naturally; without any pain medication and it was a long, arduous and difficult labour, but Orlando was with me the whole time supporting and guiding me through it. I could not have done it without him."

But their relationship was soon rocked by rumours, with tabloids suggesting cheating or a separation.

After attempting to silence those rumours by attending the 2013 Golden Globes together, the couple announced their split in October that year, and soon after, finalised their divorce.

"Despite this being the end of their marriage, they love, support and respect each other as both parents of their son and as family," their reps said in a statement.

Following her divorce, Kerr said she was in no way interested in dating again.

In fact, when speaking to ELLE, the supermodel admitted just how much the relationship ending affected her mental health.

"When Orlando and I separated, I actually fell into a really bad depression," she told the publication.

But it was only a year later she met her now-husband, CEO and co-founder of Snap (the parent company of Snapchat), Evan Spiegel.

The pair met in 2014 at a Louis Vuitton event at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where Kerr was sat next to the tech billionaire.

"I was going through quite a challenging stage. I didn’t really believe in love anymore," Kerr recalled to Vogue Australia in July. "I felt a little bit overwhelmed with what had happened."

"He was so patient with me," she continued. "Our relationship evolved slowly. And we established a nice friendship before we became boyfriend and girlfriend. I never even thought that this kind of love was possible."

In July 2016, Spiegel and Kerr got engaged.

Kerr made the announcement in an Instagram post using Bitmojis, a company Snap bought for $144 million AUD. And the following year in May, the couple tied the knot.

The wedding was an "intimate affair" with 45 guests in attendance.

According to a source: "All guests arrived in black limos and vans with tinted windows. The guests were picked up at secret checkpoints and driven to the home."

In May 2018, the couple welcomed a baby boy, Hart, named after Spiegel's grandfather, and in October 2019, they welcomed another boy, Myles.

These days, Kerr and Spiegel live between their reported $144 million AUD mansion in LA and their
