Even though this report seems to have originated in The Daily Mail, many other sources are running with it, so I think it’s true – Kate Moss is engaged! Her boyfriend of more than two years, Jamie Hince, is said to have popped the question over the holidays in Mustique. Apparently, they are already living together, and Jamie wanted to take the next step, so he picked out a nice ring and “surprised” Kate by flying to her on holiday and proposing on her birthday. Which sounds really nice, actually. No snark.
So far, her love life has brought her mostly heartache and headlines. But Kate Moss may finally be heading for domestic bliss after her boyfriend, Kills guitarist Jamie Hince, proposed.
Hince, 40, flew out to meet Miss Moss last week while she was working in Mustique and proposed on Saturday, her 36th birthday, using a diamond ring chosen with the help of her boss and friend, Topshop tycoon Philip Green.
The couple have had a fiery romance since meeting in September 2007, just three months after Miss Moss finished a turbulent two-year relationship with Pete Doherty. They were introduced by mutual friend Sadie Frost backstage at a Kills gig.
Today, the couple flew back to London and seemed very loved up as they kissed while they waited for their luggage before grabbing a coffee and heading to their car.
A friend said of the proposal: ‘Kate was stunned, Jamie called her up and told her not to come home. He said he was flying out to Mustique. He had carefully picked a ring and chose her birthday to propose. It was the first time they had been alone together in quite a while and it was extremely emotional. Kate and Jamie are in a very good place, they already live together and this is the next step to settling down for good.’
Despite a string of rows, friends say that Hince has been a stabilizing influence for Miss Moss. He is said to get on well with Lila Grace, her eight-year-old daughter by ex-boyfriend Jefferson Hack.
The big love of Miss Moss’s life is still said to be actor Johnny Depp, with whom she split in 1998 following a four-year romance.
Depp, who has two children with partner Vanessa Paradis, is later alleged to have said: ‘I don’t think I was very good for her. So what we did was right – we walked away from each other.’

Congratulations to the happy couple. It’s interesting to me that they’re making such a point out of Jamie getting along with Kate’s daughter Lila – from what I’ve read, Kate’s mom does much of Lila’s childrearing. I guess it could be worse – Lila could be around for her mom’s alleged coke binges. What am I saying? Kate doesn’t do that anymore, right? Right?!?
By the way, some people are making fun of Jamie, claiming that he’s too ugly for Kate or something like that. I don’t see what the big deal is. Yeah, he’s not Johnny Depp, but Jamie is far from hideous. He has an interesting, strangely attractive face. And he does seem like a pretty solid guy, so in that sense, he’s probably really good for her. Considering her last boyfriend was Pete Doherty, I mean, come on! This guy is a Godsend.

Which one is Kate Moss?
He’s not that attractive, but unless she’s had her makeup and hair done by someone and had the help of a little Photoshop, she’s no beauty either anymore. That’s a hard-looking 36.
But eh, congrats. There’ve been a ton of celeb engagements, weddings and babies born in the last couple of months it seems. More than usual.
This is sad, but the first thing I thought reading the headline is “Kate Moss is ONLY 36?” I would have thought she was almost 10 yrs older than that.
@ Padiddle, I was thinking the same thing…she’s only 36?!
Oh, not at all, I think he’s a knockout.
I had the same exact thought….”whoa- she’s only 36??”
I hope it works out for her.
She needs to do something. With the life she’s led, she won’t be able to model much longer.
i like kate moss – don’t ask me why.
A big congrats to you girl.
Why is she so pretty then? Or was? I don’t get it. She looks fine, but not the worlds finest.
Hmmm. 36? I’m sure when I was in my late 20’s she was a good 3 or 4 years older than me. I’m 37 now…
The things that is crazy is that she has a thing for troubled artist. Johnny Depp was a wild one when they dated, and then the musicians Pete (who we all know about) and Jamie (who I don’t know alot about but strikes me as an enabler to her behavior, seen alot of photos of her carry her out of clubs and events). The only relationship that you did not really hear about was her relationship with Heck (Lila’s father), he seemed to mellow her, wait, now I see why they broke up.
