Kate Moss‘ lookalike brother Nick shared a 27th birthday tribute to half-sister Lottie on Instagram on Thursday – four months after Kate publicly buried the hatchet with the OnlyFans model.
But it turns out the picture was a throwback image from a family get togther back in May 2023 as he had previously shared a picture of himself from the same day – wearing the same clothes – with Kate.
No doubt things would have been a little awkward as two months before, Lottie had claimed Kate doesn’t reply to her texts.
And things weren’t looking much better in November 2023 when Lottie publicly stated that the two half sisters had never had a good relationship.
Nick proved he is on good terms with Lottie as he marked her birthday by sharing a sweet snap of the pair posing in the restaurant and wrote: ‘Happy birthday baby sister’, followed by three red heart emojis.
Nick had originally shared the photo of the pair along with a second snap of himself and Kate, he penned: ‘So grateful for a day with these beauties ❤️ #sisters’.
Kate Moss ‘ lookalike brother Nick has shared a heartfelt birthday tribute to half-sister Lottie Moss on Instagram on Thursday with this throwback snap- but it turns out Kate was there too!
Nick had originally shared the photo of him with Kate from the same day in May 2023 – two months after Lottie claimed Kate never replies to her texts – in November she insisted they didn’t have a good relationship
But in September 2024, they publicly healed their rift when this photo was posted on social media
Back in October, Kate made a point of posing alongside her younger sister Lottie in the photos taken at The Griffin pub in Sussex, in a sign that the two have finally ended their frosty three year feud; pictured L-R Nick, Lottie, their father Peter, 80, Kate’s daughter Lila, Kate
It seems things are finally looking up with the family as Kate made a very public statement that the rift had been healed by posing with Lottie for a social media snap.
Kate perched on the edge of a table during her father’s 80th birthday celebrations – when fans noticed another significant member of the party.
Supermodel Kate made a point of posing alongside her younger sister Lottie in the photos taken at The Griffin pub in Sussex, in a sign that the two have finally ended their frosty three-year feud.
It was a pivotal moment for the pair who have not been pictured together in years, with Lottie previously claiming Kate ‘doesn’t even reply to my texts’, despite once being so close that Lottie was a bridesmaid at Kate’s wedding and even moved into her sister’s Cotswolds mansion during the Covid pandemic.
However, tensions soon grew over Lottie’s wild ways that saw her regularly taking drugs five times a week, which was a huge red flag to Kate who had ditched her own partying days.
Kate’s love of boozing, which reportedly extended to flutes of prosecco at 8am and glasses of wine and vodka at lunch, saw friends coin her the nickname ‘The Tank’, but in recent years she’s embraced yoga, wellness and quiet nights in.
Their lifestyle clash came to a head between the pair during lockdown, when Kate invited Lottie to stay at her Cotswolds mansion.
An insider told Page Six: ‘Kate was frustrated because Lottie kept on wanting to drink and posting sexually provocative stuff on Instagram all the time.
‘It isn’t easy for Kate to be around people who are drinking, and she definitely won’t be around anyone who is using cocaine.’
Lottie’s mum Inger also shared a stunning picture of her daughter to mark her birthday, she wrote: ‘Happy birthday darling!’
Kate was famously dubbed ‘Cocaine Kate’ when she was photographed snorting the substance in 2005, while dating Pete Doherty, who has made no secret of his own past drug use and addiction to heroin.
When Lottie finally departed the Vogue cover star’s home ‘in a foul mood’, she reportedly left behind two bottles of her sister’s favourite bottle of wine which was interpreted as a ‘f**k you’ gesture.
The roots of the rift between the sisters seem to originate with the large age gap between them.
Lottie is the daughter of Kate’s father, travel agent Peter Moss, and his second wife, Norwegian Inger Solnordal, and was raised in Haywards Heath, West Sussex.
By the time she was born in 1998, Kate was already at the height of her fame as a catwalk model and had enjoyed a high profile romance with Johnny Depp.
Given her older sister’s profile, it was no surprise when Lottie followed in her footsteps and signed with Storm Management in 2014 and began a mainstream modelling career.
And Kate seemed to give Lottie’s career her seal of approval.
That same year, the pair were spotted side-by-side at fashion shows, including a Topshop runway show in 2014.
Meanwhile her first photoshoot was published in Teen Vogue, and she had her first full editorial not long afterwards in Dazed & Confused, a magazine which was co-founded by Kate’s ex-husband, Jefferson Hack.
Kate and Lottie were first pictured together as they reunited for their father’s 80th birthday, they were also joined by Nick, Nick’s girlfriend Tracy and Kate’s daughter Lila
At one point it seemed like Lottie was on course to reach supermodel status in her own right, with modelling gigs for Chanel and Sonia Rykiel, an ad campaign for Calvin Klein and a Vogue Paris cover.
Aged 18, she was invited to Cannes as a guest of Dior and Chopard, while completing her A-levels.
Despite public perception that her famous older sister must have boosted her career, Lottie later insisted the opposite was true.
Appearing on The Matt Haycox Show Podcast in November 2023, Lottie said she has never had a close-knit bond with Kate.
When questioned on if she asked her big sister for advice when she entered the world of modelling, the OnlyFans content creator confessed the two hadn’t even been close when she was a child.
‘No, we just never really spoke honestly. It’s always been that way, I never was sad about it really,’ she said.
‘You know obviously it’s not great to hear that someone doesn’t really care for a relationship with you… but you know we would see each other at Christmases and things like that and play family a little bit.’
Explaining her estranged relationship with her fashionista half-sister, Lottie revealed she had ‘never really known’ Kate, adding: ‘It wasn’t like I was losing someone.’
‘It was never really like she chose to leave, she’s 20 years older than me she’s got every right to live her own life, she doesn’t need to hang around with me.’
She doubled down on her claims in another interview, saying that people had a ‘common misconception’ of her as a ‘nepo baby‘ because of Kate.
‘How do I say to people that I don’t know her and that she doesn’t reply to my texts?’ she added.
‘I honestly think the whole “nepo baby” concept is so weird; there are so many people in the world that have had obvious advantages in their career because of who they know or who someone in their family is, not just famous people.’
In a self-penned essay, Lottie said while her sister provided her a useful stepping stone, she was determined to make her own money herself and used her earnings to pay for private schooling at St. Bede’s School in Redhill.
She wrote in Newsweek: ‘I think a common misconception is that because Kate, who is 24 years older than me, is rich and famous, so were my family. But obviously, that was her money and her fame, not ours.’
Lottie continued: ‘I knew that my sister Kate was famous and growing up, I idolized her, thinking she was the coolest. I never got much love or attention from her though, which has always upset me, especially because people have brought her up to me for as long as I can remember.’

Despite public perception that her famous older sister must have boosted her career, Lottie later insisted the opposite was true due to them not being close
Lottie launched her X-rated OnlyFans career. Prior to that, Lottie had been signed with Kate’s old modelling agency, but was swiftly removed from the agency’s website
The truth of the matter, however, seems to be a little more complicated that Lottie has made out.
According to a family member, the pair did once share a bond, which cooled along with Lottie’s public proclamations about their relationship.
‘There was a time when they were a lot closer,’ they told MailOnline.
But they insisted they don’t want to talk about the sisters’ feelings for each other in public – but should address any issues privately within the family.
Then, there was the controversial launch of her X-rated OnlyFans career, where she stripped naked for the subscription service, leaving behind her career in high fashion.
Lottie was swiftly removed from the Storm modelling agency website and admitted her family ‘was in turmoil over it’.
A family source claimed at the time, even Kate’s daughter Lila ‘wouldn’t have anything to do with Lottie’ due to her antics with the wrong crowd.
In early 2022, Lottie ended up in rehab after moving to America and she later revealed she had a ‘very bad’ cocaine addiction and used alcohol to mask her depression.
The OnlyFans star’s mother Inger and her best friend staged an intervention and encouraged Lottie to seek help for substance abuse issues at the rehab centre in Arizona.
She told Jamie Laing on his podcast last year: ‘I didn’t realise I had depression for a very long time. I just thought everyone felt this way… and I thought you just kind of get through it…
‘I couldn’t get out of bed in the morning. I quit modelling; I was doing some OnlyFans but not really. I didn’t recognise myself…
‘I always wanted to be the fun one, and then I got to the point that my mum and best friend came to me and said: “You need to get rehab because you are so depressed”.
Lottie said she never touched drugs or alcohol before becoming a catwalk star but later became hooked.

She also he never felt able to confide in her half sister Kate about her troubles, admitting the endless comparison with the supermodel was a constant burden during her career.
Lottie said: ‘I started quite early on with using drugs and alcohol as a crutch, as a coping mechanism, which there is not a lack of in the fashion industry.
‘There were people in positions of power that were giving me drugs and alcohol when I was very young and so it didn’t seem bad to me.’
She continued: ‘When you have people around you who are enabling you, I am talking at high fashion events and people are in a penthouse suite, and its people that are working for a brand that is very well known and they’re sat there doing drugs with you as a 19-year-old.
‘That is so weird to me now… that should never happen in any industry.
‘The fact that no one said, “maybe we shouldn’t be enabling our client to do drugs. We should want her to be on her A game and doing her best, wake up in the morning and do a gym class, instead it was lots of alcohol”, and it goes hand in hand.’
Lottie admits her drug taking became so regular she was using ‘five times a week,’ sparked by an unhappy relationship with an older man.
A year later, in 2023, Lottie appeared on the reality show Celebs Go Dating and enjoyed an on-screen romance with Love Island star Adam Collard.
Depsite reality TV and OnlyFans being a world away from the Chanel catwalk, Lottie insists she now achieves more job satisfaction from being a ‘content creator’.
‘People think I came into it because I was in this bad place in my life, and it was all going wrong, but it was the opposite,’ she insists.
‘Modelling stood for something I was not really a fan of and when I found Only Fans I met all these girls that were similar to me. I always wanted to be a bit more risqué and I always wanted to get my body out.’
It doubtful Kate will share the same opinion of her career, but – for now at least – it appears the two have agreed to differ.
