After three years of dating, Pirates of the Caribbean actor Orlando Bloom, 33, and Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr, 27, have gotten engaged. The couple began dating in 2007, when they were introduced through a mutual friend.

"I think Orlando is an incredible man and he’s a very genuine and authentic individual. I’m grateful that he’s in my life,” Kerr told Britain’s Hello! magazine earlier this year.

During a trip to Morocco last fall, Bloom spoke about managing their time together despite their hectic work schedules. "Miranda and I spend so much time apart; she’s working hard, I’m working hard, so we have to grab time together whenever we can," he told reporters. "A weekend here, a weekend there … We are just enjoying our time together now."

Kerr hasn’t been shy about sharing her future life plans, ones that include settling down and starting a family. "My ideal situation would be to live on a farm in a solar-powered house with a hammock and a vegetable patch," she told Page Six Magazine in 2008. "When this is all over, that’s where I’ll be. I’ve always wanted kids, so someday, eventually, yes, it will happen."

As of now, no date has been set for the vow swap, which will be the first for both of them. –ALEXA GREENBERG

    Also, does that make Miranda's new surname "Kerr Bloom"? Yikes.
