Kate Moss has called it quits with her boyfriend Nikolai Von Bismarck after 9 years of their romantic relationship. The 50-year-old supermodel and the 37-year-old Count couple seem to have grown apart and are ready to move on.

"Despite being 13 years her junior, Nikolai wants to enjoy a quieter life. He remains on his sober path and they just have increasingly different hobbies and wants," a source detailed to The Sun about the reason behind the split. "She felt they were going on different journeys in life. And, at 50, Kate feels fabulous and like she wants to get back out there and have some fun in time for Christmas."

The pair have been romantically involved for years, with the supermodel being friends with his mother, Countess Debonnaire von Bismarck. Before their relationship, the Count was rumored to have dated Princess Beatrice in the early 2000s.

News of the split comes after rumors about struggles in their relationship that started during the summer. Kate was also photographed holding hands with Bob Marley's 27-year-old grandson Skip in May. However, Kate and Nikolai were seen again at the Gucci Cruise 2025 Fashion Show days later, looking friendly and making headlines about the stability of their relationship.

Kate and Nikolai started their relationship in 2015 after she split from her now ex-husband Jamie Hince. During her interview with Harper's Bazaar, Kate shared some of her thoughts about love, as well as her family moments with her daughter, Lila Moss. 

"Being in love makes me feel beautiful. My daughter Lila inspires me to be the best person I can be," she said to the publication in 2022. "My favourite moments are when all the family are sitting down together having lunch on a sunny Sunday afternoon in the country."
