Lottie Moss has opened up about the strained relationship she shares with supermodel sister Kate Moss - and says the pair have never been close.
The 25-year-old OnlyFans star tried her luck at modelling herself after being plucked out from the shadow of her sister after acting as a bridesmaid at 49-year-old Kate’s wedding in 2011. The younger Moss sister was swiftly snapped up by a modelling agency and secured campaigns for major brands including Calvin Klein and Dolce and Gabbana.
Lottie later quit professional modelling in 2021 and took control of her own image by launching an OnlyFans account - and is now turning her attention to becoming a reality star as a contestant on Celebs Go Dating. And while Lottie admits being the younger sibling of Kate helped her get a foot in the world of modelling and into the celebrity spotlight, she claims she has never been that close with her older sister.
The TV star - who shares her father Pete Moss with her supermodel sister - told Fabulous magazine: “Me and my sister have never been close. There is a big age gap. I didn’t grow up with my sister giving us money. We had a tiny two-bedroom house. My parents were bankrupt. I paid for my private school myself with the money I made modelling.”

There is a 24 year age gap between Lottie and Kate Moss (Diet Coke)Lottie does, however, insist she harbours no bitterness towards her sibling. She said: “My sister has obviously struggled with things herself. She’s allowed to have that. She doesn’t have to want to have a relationship with me. When I was younger, I couldn’t understand it. I thought: ‘Why is someone in my family not wanting a relationship with me? I don’t get it.’

"But now I’ve learned, especially speaking to other friends who don’t speak to their mum or dad, that family is complicated. Just because she’s a really high-end model, it doesn’t mean that it’s any different in our family. We just don’t see eye to eye on many things. I love her. She’s my sister, but we’re just not close. It is what it is.”
Lottie will be seen in E4’s Celebs Go Dating from next week where she hopes to find love in front of cameras. While promoting the show this past week, she said: “I am nervous, but I am looking forward to people seeing my real personality. I am hoping the agents can find me someone I can settle down with.”
Celebs Go Dating will air every weeknight from Sunday 20th August at 9pm on E4, airing every Sunday to Thursday for four weeks.
