Kate celebrates Lila’s 19th... but where’s Nikolai?

KATE MOSS’S daughter Lila celebrated her 19th birthday at a spectacular Disney-themed party last week, with my exclusive pictures showing how she channelled the spirit of Tinker Bell.

But there was a notable omission from the many party snaps I’ve seen: her ‘stepfather’, Count Nikolai von Bismarck, who is said to be incredibly close to the teenager.

Nor was Kate’s boyfriend present when Lila took to the catwalk at London fashion week on Tuesday. While mum was on the front row proudly watching, her 34-year-old partner was absent.

Kate, 46, was instead accompanied by Vogue editor Edward Enninful and Jordan Barrett, a 24year-old male model who has been Kate’s constant companion in recent months and appears to have replaced Nikolai as the supermodel’s number one wingman. Kate was a ring bearer at Jordan’s wedding to fellow male model Fernando Casablancas in Ibiza last month – where she resumed her party-loving ways after years of laying low.

Nikolai, who is staunchly sober and credited with encouraging Kate’s recent penchant for Netflix and early nights, was apparently nowhere to be seen. As I revealed last week, friends have been wondering if Kate may be tempted back into her wilder ways now that lockdown is over. One friend has suggested that Nikolai may be, at least temporarily, off the scene.

Meanwhile, Kate was in good spirits at her only daughter’s g birth

She smiled adoringly as she pre- esented Lila with an ornate, three- etier pastel blue cake, carried into o the room by a man dressed as s Winnie The Pooh’s pal Tigger.

The teenager’s choice of outfit t was appropriate, given she has been nicknamed ‘Tinkers’. And d because Count Nikolai appears to be a Lost Boy... y
