I love him a lot.” Asked if she always had her eye on Nick, she said, “Always, always.”

Which is great. Listen, I don’t see him for months at a time. So when I’m with him, I stare at him. You know? I watch my boyfriend while he’s asleep.”

Model and singer Nick Kamen died on 4 May 2021 at the age of 59 after a long illness. Following the news of his death, Nick Kamen’s ex-girlfriend Amanda de Cadenet, paid tribute to him in an Instagram post alongside a photo of him and her daughter Atlanta de Cadenet Taylor. She wrote:

“So many feelings hearing that you are gone. This is a first for me. When an ex boyfriend dies. Feels odd posting anything on social media. You weren’t even on this stuff. I have so many photos I have taken of you, but this is one of the sweetest and reminds me of how much you loved @atlantabean. It’s from 1998.

“Reading all the tributes to you, people sharing how kind you were, how talented and yes incredibly handsome. I think you would like most, but you would not like that the loudest take away was that you were in an Levi’s ad and worked with Madonna.

“So, I’m going to make sure we don’t forget that any notoriety you gained, was something you never embraced. It almost embarrassed you.

“My experience of you, and the years we were together was that you spent much of your time making art, cooking,traveling, and chanting. Your practice was the most important thing in your life, and I know that your last breath would’ve been Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. Hope you are with Barry and your Mum.”
