Kate Moss and Count Nikolai von Bismarck have fuelled rumours they might be back together after they were spotted strolling around the streets of Milan with big smiles on their faces.
The 49-year-old supermodel and the 36-year-old aristocratic British photographer have had something of an on-off romance since 2015 - with reports emerging in recent weeks that they have split. But now the couple could be all smiles again as they certainly looked happy to be in each others’ company in Milan on Wednesday.
The duo - who are both in the Italian fashion capital for Milan Fashion Week - were spotted as they headed to the Fendi women's Spring Summer 2024 fashion show. In what was a rare sighting of the duo together - with some reports suggesting they’ve not been spotted in public as a couple since September last year - they looked relaxed in each others’ company.
Kate donned some dark shades and was wrapped up in a black, detective-style Mac, while Nikolai wore a long, beige coat, simple blue shirt, and dark trousers. He too wore sunglasses and carried a bottle of water as they cut through the streets.

Initial reports suggested Nikolai was Kate’s lodger in her North London home, but it was later apparent the pair were dating.

They split in 2016 due to his “party lifestyle” but reconciled the same year. But since September 2022 the status of the romance has been unclear. Just last week, there was speculation that the relationship was long over as Nikolai was spotted partying at the Vogue World after party in London while Kate was nowhere to be seen.
Kate had previously gushed about her romance with the Count and how he slotted into her family - which includes 20-year-old daughter Lila who Kate shares with ex-boyfriend Jefferson Hack, 52. She told Vanity Fair in January last year: “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 all the family are sitting down together having lunch on a sunny Sunday afternoon in the country.”
Rumours had swirled in November 2020 that Count Nikolai had got down on one knee to propose to Kate after she was spotted with a vintage emerald and diamond ring on her finger - but she shot down speculation. She told The Telegraph: “Oh, no, I'm not engaged. It's more like, I'm in a relationship, I'm committed.”
