Kate Moss Splits From Younger Boyfriend: A New Chapter at 50?

It seems even supermodels aren’t immune to relationship changes! The iconic Kate Moss, now 50, has reportedly parted ways with her boyfriend of several years, Nikolai von Bismarck, who is 37. According to insiders, the couple has moved out of the London home they shared, citing their differing approaches to life as the primary reason for the split. Let’s delve into the details of this surprising breakup.

Different Paths Lead to a Split

A source close to the couple revealed that while they remain on good terms, “they’ve been in contact for months, and finally, Kate felt it was time to move on and call it a day.” The source added, “She feels they’re on different journeys in life. And, at 50, Kate feels great and wants to get back out there and have fun in time for Christmas.” It seems that Kate is embracing this new chapter with a sense of freedom and a desire for more excitement.

A Shift in Lifestyle

Despite being 13 years younger, Nikolai reportedly prefers a more low-key lifestyle. The source noted, “Nikolai is still on his path of sobriety, and they just had increasingly different interests and desires.” This difference in lifestyle preferences seems to have been a key factor in the couple’s decision to split. The contrast between Kate’s desire to embrace her 50s with a sense of revelry and Nikolai’s preference for a quieter life ultimately proved too significant to ignore.

Kate’s Past Relationships

Kate has one daughter, 22-year-old Lila Moss, with ex-partner Jefferson Hack.  Kate began dating Nikolai in 2015 after her split from musician Jamie Hince. Having known each other for years— years—Nikolai’s mother, Countess Debonnaire von Bismarck, is a friend of the supermodel—their relationship took a romantic turn.

In 2022, Kate shared with Harper’s Bazaar, “Being in love makes me feel beautiful. My daughter, Lila, inspires me to be the best person I can be. My favourite moments are when my family is all together for Sunday lunch in the countryside.” These comments highlight the importance of family and connection in Kate’s life, which may have contributed to her feeling that the relationship with Nikolai had run its course.

Rumors of Trouble and Reunion

Throughout the summer, there were whispers that Kate and Nikolai’s relationship was facing some challenges. There were even photos of Kate holding hands with Skip, the 27-year-old grandson of reggae legend Bob Marley, in May. However, after these photos surfaced, Kate and Nikolai were seen having a very affectionate reunion at the Gucci Cruise 2025 Fashion Show just days later. This suggests that the couple was attempting to navigate their difficulties, but ultimately the differences were too much.

Kate famously gave up alcohol in 2017, transitioning to a diet that included juice cleanses and Pilates. She even launched her own line of tea and skincare products through her wellness and beauty brand, Cosmos. But after turning 50 this year, she has seemingly reintroduced some social evenings into her wellness routine, signalling a return to her more outgoing lifestyle.

To celebrate her milestone birthday, Kate threw a party in her classic style, with dancing until 2 AM, a makeshift catwalk, and a group of 30 of her closest friends, including A-listers and top names in fashion. This celebration of her 50th birthday seemed to be a sign of a new beginning for Kate, who appears to be embracing this new phase of her life with renewed energy and a sense of fun.

Embracing New Connections

Since her birthday, Kate has been seen dancing up a storm at a Stevie Nicks concert and enjoying quality time with her sister, Lottie, 26, by taking to the streets together. These moments suggest that Kate is not only enjoying her renewed sense of freedom but also reconnecting with important figures in her life.

Nikolai’s Different Path

It’s worth noting that Nikolai, who has been sober since 2017, has reportedly stated he “doesn’t like being the center of attention.” This highlights their fundamental differences and perhaps the reason why they ultimately grew apart. The last time the couple were seen together publicly was back in June of this year, attending a Dior show at Paris Fashion Week.

A History of Heartbreak

Kate has famously weathered heartbreak before. Her relationship with Johnny Depp, her marriage to Jamie Hince, and her tumultuous relationship with Pete Doherty all ended in heartbreak.

Despite having gone through 40 boyfriends by the time she turned 40, Nikolai was by her side for nearly a decade.

Co-Parenting with Jefferson Hack

Jefferson and Kate dated from 2001 to 2004 and welcomed their daughter Lila in 2002. They remain close, and Hack has previously been photographed smiling alongside Kate and Nikolai.

The author and journalist recently shared that maintaining a good relationship with the mother of his child was one of his proudest achievements, offering a rare insight into their modern family dynamic.

Jefferson said, “The thing I’m most proud of is my relationship with Lila Grace and her mother.”

They have successfully prioritized their daughter as single parents and extremely influential figures, despite Jefferson admitting that his daughter thinks the couple were “very uncool”.

Kate Moss‘s split from Nikolai von Bismarck signals yet another chapter in the life of this iconic figure. While their differing paths led them to part ways, it seems that Kate is ready to embrace her new reality, and, at 50 years old, she’s doing it with style and a sense of renewed independence. As she continues to move forward, we can only wonder what the next chapter holds for the supermodel.
