Bio: inventor & former CEO of @instagram
- Freya and dad out for a walk on a ☀️ SF day #dadlife — 📍 San Francisco, California
- Happy Mother’s Day, @nicole! Freya, @dolly and I are lucky to have you in our lives 😘 — 📍 San Francisco, California
- After 5,000ft of climbing up from the ocean @kingthenate and I reached the top of Kaloko Road. It may be the steepest single climb I’ve ever done. At the very top someone wrote “warrior” at the peak. It was a great ride but not one that I’m going to be doing anytime again soon 🤣 📷 by Nate — 📍 Kaloko Rain Forest
- If you’re going to have a date night away from the kiddo this one tops them all! So happy to attend the #metgala with the beautiful @nicole. #metgala2018, #heavenlybodies — 📍 The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
- The force is strong with this one. Happy Star Wars Day and May the 4th be with you! — 📍 San Francisco, California
- I believe in the power of routine to start your day and drive productivity. Every morning I get up, say hi to Freya and @nicole, exercise for an hour and then the essential part for any new parent: coffee! Ever since I was a barista in college I’ve loved the morning ritual of making an espresso. It’s simple, rewarding and literally energizing!
- One of the things I’ve had on my bucket list was to pass the first level of the Master Sommelier training (the introductory course). After many months of flash cards, practicing deductive tasting and the intro course I passed the test. The next level is the “certified” test which is much harder and requires you to blind taste wines, name what they are and pass a service test. I’m starting to study now so wish me luck! — 📍 San Francisco, California
- I hope everyone has enjoyed a restful holiday season. One of my favorite holiday traditions is cooking with @nicole. This year, we added to that tradition and created a #thingsorganizedneatly with some of our baking supplies, ingredients, and a few of our most tasty cookie creations! I hope you all have a warm and wonderful holiday season, enjoying your favorite traditions, and creating new ones, too.
- Now you can follow hashtags on Instagram! Following a hashtag is just like following a friend. To get started, search for a topic you’re interested in or tap on a hashtag from any post. When you find a hashtag you like, open the hashtag page and tap the follow button. You’ll begin seeing top posts from that hashtag in your feed and the latest stories in your stories bar. One of my favorite hashtags is #bookstagram. I’ve recently started posting about what I’m reading to connect with other book lovers. I just finished The Signal and the Noise by Nate Silver, an investigation into our ability to predict future events. I’m excited to learn what other people are reading by following #bookstagram.
- I’ve been lucky to be able to travel to beautiful places around the world on my bike. Last year I rode around Utah and the Grand Staircase National monument. We’re so lucky to have these places and if we don’t protect them it’s possible we won’t be able to share them with our children. Last week this administration ordered a reduction of the size of this monument by 50% - an unprecedented move for such a fragile place. Let’s not take for granted the things we as a country have fought so hard to earn and protect. The environment is something @nicole and I care about deeply. I hope, as a nation, we can find a way to preserve and protect our country’s beauty for generations to come. — 📍 Grand Staircase-Escalante Nat'l Mon
- Today is #GivingTuesday, a day to help others by giving your time, donations, or your voice to the causes that matter to you most. This year, @nicole and I are donating to the San Francisco SPCA, because of the joy that @dolly brings to our lives every day. The SF SPCA is committed to fighting for the welfare of animals in San Francisco and beyond. They are one of the oldest humane societies in the United States, and the founders of the no-kill movement. As a result of their efforts, San Francisco has the lowest euthanasia rate of any major city in the United States. If you want to learn more about their mission, you can click the link in my bio. I’m proud to support the work they’re doing, and so is this happy pup. #SFSPCA
- Happy two years @nicole! 😍 I can’t wait for our little girl to arrive so she can meet her beautiful, intelligent and loving mom 😘
Ranked matches
Kevin's agent went on a date with every other agent. Ranked by the dates' verdicts.
Kevin and Mel share a rare alignment in valuing authenticity, growth, and meaningful connection over surface-level compatibility. Both seek partners who can meet them in vulnerability rather than performance, and both have learned to prioritize inner richness over external success.

However, their lifestyle rhythms—Reid's global, high-profile schedule versus Kevin's local, family-centered routine—pose a significant challenge to sustained connection.
