Modeling runs in the Moss family — bothKate Mossand her younger sister, Lottie Moss, have made names for themselves in the high-fashion industry.

Kate was born in 1974 to Linda Shepherd and Peter Moss and rose to fame on catwalks and magazine covers in the ’90s. Kate’s parents divorced when she was 14, according to a 1994Spininterview, and Peter went on to welcome Lottie with model Inger Moss in 1998.

Lottie wrote that she was “privileged being related to a huge model,” and added that she understood “its not fair that people who come from famous families are getting a leg up because of that.” But, ultimately she added, “Life isn’t fair — if you put your mind to something you can accomplish anything!”

So, who is Kate Moss’ sister? Here’s everything to know about Lottie Moss and her relationship with the British model.

She and Kate have a 24-year age gap

While they may share the same father, the sisters didn’t spend much time together growing up.

By the time Lottie was born, Kate was a household name nearing the height of her modeling career. The younger Moss toldThe Sunin 2023 that because of their 24-year age gap, she and Kate had struggled to have a strong relationship.

“I love her. She’s my sister, but we’re just not close,” Lottie said.

While speaking toVoguein 2015, Lottie reminisced about playing a classic childhood game with her older sister when she was younger. “My first memory of my sister is that she’d always dress me up in her clothes, and when I was really young she’d always put huge fur on me and these glittery things,” Lottie said.

In 2011, Kate married Jamie Hince, from the indie-rock band The Kills. She had 12 flower-crowned bridesmaids, including her 8-year-old daughter, Lila Grace, and her 13-year-old sister. When photographs of the wedding were publicized, her dad got a scouting call from Sarah Doukas — the same agent who discovered Kate decades earlier.

“He was the one who was there with Kate when she was scouted in the airport at 14,” Lottie toldYou Magazinein 2019. “So Sarah was, like, ‘Honestly, Peter, you should just box up your genes and give them to us.' ”

In 2017, Lottie spoke toW Magazineabout how “funny” her discovery was: “My mom was like, ‘Your sister is going to be so pissed. No one noticed her, everyone was like, ‘Who’s that?’ ”

She’s a model

Lottie began modeling as a teen. Shelanded her first gigforTeen Vogueat 16 and went on to pose for Calvin Klein. She landed her first cover, forVogueParis, when she was 18.

Although she has had success in front of the camera, Lottie has since said how “detrimental” it was being in the public eye at that age.

In a 2022 essay forGlamour UK, she wrote, “When I started out, I was always just ‘Kate Moss’s sister.’ That was really hard for me growing up, especially not being that close with my sister (we still don’t really have a relationship now, which is something I never really speak about)."

She continued, “It’s hard when you have someone ‘close’ to you doing the exact same job as you, who’s already very prominent in the industry, but not having any advice or guidance.”

In December 2022, Lottietattooed the word “lover”on her left cheek. She wrote in herGlamour UKessay that the ink was an expression of her post-rehab journey of self-discovery.

Nearly a year before getting the tattoo, in February 2022, Lottieannounced that she was in rehab, though she did not share what she was being treated for. In November of that year, she said onJamie Laing’sPrivate Partspodcastthat going to the treatment facility was “the best thing ever.”

“[I’m] learning to love myself again while finally being free from my former life,” she wrote forGlamour UK. “That’s why I decided to get my face tattoo; the word ‘lover’ under my eye. Yes, it was impulsive, but after years of being so controlled, it was my way of expressing that I am free.”

Kate’s daughter Lila is five years younger than Lottie, which the model has said helped them to bond. Lottie toldYou Magazinein 2019 that she views Lila more as “a little sister” than a niece and that they used to play together when they were younger.

Lottie also stayed with Lila and Kate at their Gloucestershire mansion during the COVID-19 lockdown. “Me and [Lila] got closer,” she toldThe Sunin 2023. “But she lives in New York now [where she is a model], she lives her own life. We text sometimes and I see her out and about. I don’t give her advice. I think my sister can give her modeling advice!”

She experienced backlash after starting an OnlyFans account

Despite that, Lottie added that she felt like a part of a community on OnlyFans and that it put her in the “best place” she’d ever been mentally.

“The modelling industry is so glamourised and OnlyFans is so villainised, yet OnlyFans is the only place I’ve felt this empowered and safe," she wrote.

She hosts a podcast

Lottie launched her podcast,Dream On, in August 2024.

The model added: “I’ll also have a segment called Bedtime Stories where I’ll be hearing from you guys and giving you some much needed advice.”

In August 2023, Lottie toldThe Sunthat she and Kate are not as close as people may think.

“She doesn’t have to want to have a relationship with me,” Lottie said. “When I was younger, I couldn’t understand 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," Lottie continued. “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.”

She was hospitalized after using Ozempic

During a September 2024 episode of her podcast,Dream On, Lottie shared that she washospitalized after using Ozempic.

“I definitely tried it. It was the worst decision I ever made. I would rather die at any day than take that again,” she said, explaining that the drug made her “nauseous” and dehydrated to the point where she had a seizure.

Lottie continued: “It’s so not worth it. It’s for diabetes, it’s not for weight loss. Be happy you have a body that functions and works instead of putting it through something like that.”
