Must read

Kate Moss looked chic in a cream dress as she enjoyed a stroll and some ice cream in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, in the South of France on Sunday.

The pair have been very good friends for years and Bobby is even godfather to Lila Grace – Kate’s model daughter.

Kate looked lovely in her cream dress which had a sweeping neckline and was accessorised with a pearl necklace and dangly earrings.

She completed her outfit with dark shades and wore her long blonde tresses in loose waves over her shoulders.

Meanwhile Primal Scream rocker Bobby, 52, wore a white T-shirt and khaki shorts as he caught up with his friend.

They looked relaxed in each other’s company and chatted away after a tumultuous few weeks for Kate amid speculation about her love life.

Snaps recently emerged of Kate holding hands with the reggae star grandson of Bob Marley, 27, in Turkey – while she is still known to be in a relationship with partner Count Nikolai von Bismarck.

A day after the pair’s frosty display on the front row at a star-studded Gucci show raised eyebrows further.

Despite their tense display, friends close to Kate then brushed off any split concerns, insisting their ‘bohemian’ relationship has consistently been ‘on and off.’

At the Gucci show a stony-faced Count Nikolai, 37, was impassive as he sat next to the Kate – who then turned her back on him to speak to others on the front row at the Gucci fashion show instead.

And after the show she was seen leaving arm-in-arm with a beaming male companion.

Despite apparent tension between Kate and Count Nikolai, and lingering rumours about their romance, those who know the couple insist her decision to hold hands with Skip Marley, 27, may not be the death knell for their relationship.

‘They are constantly on and off – but both are very bohemian about hook ups’, an insider with knowledge of her relationship with Nikolai told MailOnline recently.

For the past eight years Kate has been dating Count Nikolai – an aristocrat who shares her bohemian outlook and was once tipped to marry one of Prince Andrew’s children.

But pictures of the her holding hands with the reggae star grandson of Bob Marley in Turkey a few weekends ago set tongues wagging that all is not well with their eight-year relationship.

Bu someone close to Kate’s circle said: ‘She’s a passionate person – and she is still incredibly flirtatious with people. Whether it is Nikolai, or whoever she is with, they just have to accept it and get on with it or they’ll go mad’.

Kate Moss famously had gone through 40 boyfriends by the time she was 40, but as she turned 50 in January, Nikolai has been by her side for most of the past decade.

Those close to her have brushed off what happened in Turkey last weekend.

Last summer he was seen heading to a hotel with French-American model Camille Rowe, however, he was central to Kate’s 50th birthday celebrations in January.

But the recent fashion show appearance, their first together for four months, will mean rumours about their relationship won’t go away.

He did not appear to be present during her recent trip to Turkey, during which she became so excited at a performance by Skip Marley that she ran on stage and had to be ushered away by guards.

Slip, the 27-year-old grandson of late reggae superstar Bob Marley, did not appear to be too perturbed by her passionate enthusiasm as he was later seen holding hands with Kate. 

‘Kate ran on stage as she loved it so much,’ a spectator told the Mail’s Richard Eden. ‘She was escorted off the stage by security. I don’t know whether there’s a ‘thing’ [between the pair] but she’s a fan for sure. It was all very sweet and non-confrontational.’

Marley was performing at the launch of cultural festival Med Bodrum at the Turkish holiday resort’s Macakizi hotel, where the model is known to have stayed in the past.
