Kate Moss split from her toyboy lover "to have some fun" after hitting 50.
RadarOnline.com can reveal the British supermodel has been "on and off" with aristocrat boyfriend Count Nikolai von Bismarck, 37, during the nine years they've dated.
Moss turned 50 earlier this year and is intent on having fun while von Bismarck prefers the quiet life.
But Moss felt the time was right to move away from the relationship to focus on enjoying life, while the teetotal photographer prefers to stay out of the limelight and concentrate on his very different interests.
A source said: "Kate and Nikolai have been on and off for months, and eventually Kate felt the time was right to move on and cut ties.
"She felt they were going on different journeys in life. And, at 50, Kate feels fabulous and like she wants to get back out there and have some fun in time for Christmas.
Von Bismarck is teetotal and Moss gave up drinking shortly after they started dating, but she still craves a fun time.
"Despite being 13 years her junior, Nikolai wants to enjoy a quieter life. He remains on his sober path and they just have increasingly different hobbies and wants.
"Her pals have been rallying around her, and are super supportive.
"Obviously it's a bit awkward because they move in similar social circles and he is the son of her great family friend Debbie von Bismarck.
"But she and von Bismarck remain on friendly terms, and are both adamant there won't be any tension or hostility."
Moss has moved out of the London home she shares with von Bismarck, who has been linked to an ex of Harry Styles.
Moss reportedly moved out of the London home the pair share.
They were family friends for four years before getting together in 2015.
Harrow-educated von Bismarck was rumoured to have dated Princess Beatrice.
He is a great-great-grandson of 19th-century German Chancellor Otto, Prince of Bismarck.
Giant World War Two battleship The Bismarck was named after him. It was sunk by the Royal Navy off France in 1941.
Von Bismarck went sober in 2017 and Moss gave up booze a year later.
Two years ago she launched her own wellness range Cosmoss.
In January they celebrated Moss's 50th in Paris despite previous reports they were no longer dating.
In recent months, Moss has been seen enjoying nights out while von Bismarck has said he enjoys "being out of the limelight".
In May, it was revealed that Moss had struck up a close friendship with singer Skip Marley, grandson of late reggae legend Bob.
The pair were snapped holding hands after a performance at the MedBodrum festival in Turkey.
