Is Kate pregnant? - Oct 23 2006
Supermodel Kate Moss is rumoured to be pregnant with lover Pete Doherty’s baby.

Pete’s uncle, Phil Michels, has claimed the couple are expecting their first baby together and says they are thrilled at the news.

"I have spoken to Pete twice about the baby and he has confirmed that Kate is pregnant," he told the Sunday Mirror.

He claimed the Babyshambles rocker called him from Italy, where he was touring, to say the 32-year-old model had had a scan.

"They are both delighted and Pete sounded really excited," he added.

Phil says the loved-up couple are now planning to tie the knot.

"That is why they want to get married. Pete told me they want a baby together to cement their marriage," he said.

"I am made up for them. They’re so happy, they love each other. I can’t wait for the wedding - we are just waiting for a date."

Catwalk queen Kate has a four-year-old daughter, Lila Grace, from her relationship with publisher Jefferson Hack.

Pete, 27, has a son, Estile, three, from his romance with DJ Lisa Moorish.

Kate lays down the law? - Oct 16, 2020
It seems supermodel Kate Moss has devised a list of six rules for her lover Pete Doherty to obey.

’Kate’s Commandments’ include stopping his drug-taking, spending two hours a day writing music and poetry, eating properly, getting rid of his "loser friends", no flirting with groupies and calling her three times a day, reports The Daily Star.

The 32-year-old has apparently said that if the Babyshambles crooner doesn’t stick to them, their planned nuptials will be off.

A friend told the tabloid: "Pete is prone to going AWOL. She has warned Pete that if he doesn’t stick to the rules their wedding will be off."

A pal of the 27-year-old rocker added that the couple had a blazing row after Pete was seen flirting after a gig a Brixton Academy.

He said: "They were screaming at each other the whole night. Kate knows he loves her but he’s a free spirit and there’s no holding him down. He hates it when she’s jealous."
