The supermodel confirmed the news on Instagram [2] with an adorable photo of the two, writing, "I love you more than I have words to express. Josh, you're my best friend and my soulmate. I can't wait for forever together. Yes a million times over 💍." So, who exactly is Josh Kushner? We're breaking it down in 3, 2, 1.

  3. Josh was born and raised in New Jersey but decided to make Massachusetts his home when he went to Harvard for undergrad and business school.
  4. Even though he's very close to his brother, Josh is "a lifelong Democrat" and didn't vote for Trump in the 2016 presidential elections, his spokesman told Esquire [6] in 2016.
  5. Although it's not clear how Karlie and Josh met, the two were first spotted together [7] at a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show afterparty in 2012 — the same year they reportedly started dating.
