Early Life
Kathrine “Kate” Ann Moss was born in Croydon, England on the 16th of January, 1974. Moss is the daughter of Linda Rosina and Peter Edward Moss. She has a younger brother named Nick and a half-sister named Lottie. Moss’ parents divorced when she was at the age of 13 and she attended Riddlesdown High School in Purley. She pursued her career as a model after she was discovered in 1988 and started to work with brands such as Levi, Calvin Klein, and H&M.
Personal Life
Moss has had multiple relationships. Between 1994 and 1998, she was in relationships with actor Johnny Depp, Pete Doherty between 2005 and 2007, a German aristocrat and photographer Count Nikolai von Bismarck, and Dazed & Confused editor Jefferson Hack, with whom she has a daughter, Lila Grace Moss-Hack. Moss wedded Jamie Hince, guitarist for The Kills, in 2011. They divorced in 2016 and settled out of court. Moss formerly lived in London before relocating to the Cotswolds.

Relationships
For many years during the 2000s, Kate was in a relationship with Jefferson Hack, the editor of “Dazed & Confused” magazine. During their time together, the two had one child.

Controversy
Kate’s career has not been free of controversy. In 2005, British tabloids ran a series of photos that showed Kate using cocaine with rocker Pete Doherty. In the immediate aftermath, Moss lost several high-profile endorsement deals, including lucrative contracts that she had signed with H&M and Chanel. The H&M contract alone was allegedly worth more than 4 million pounds. Burberry also dropped Moss. Although this was a major blow, the scandal didn’t really affect Moss’ career in the long-run. In fact, her earnings actually increased in the years following. In the year after the scandal, Moss earned $5 million. In 2006, she earned $8 million. When 2007 rolled around, she was pulling in over $9 million in annual earnings. Those three years were some of her best-ever, financially speaking.
