The supermodel and the billionaire (ELIOT PRESS/bauergriffinonline.c)
Naomi Campbell and Vladimir Doronin put their five-year relationship on a break because the Russian billionaire is “too swept up in the celebrity lifestyle” that the supermodel is part of, a source tells Page Six.
Naomi counts stars like Leo DiCaprio and Diddy as part of her social circle, but unlike Vlad, she views partying with her celeb friends as work, not as play, says the source.
Page Six revealed that the two were on the rocks earlier this week. An insider told us, “In many ways their relationship is like a business arrangement. Naomi brings glamour to his hotels and properties, and he treats her extremely well. But they spend a lot of time apart due to work commitments.”
The couple were last seen together on the beach in Miami in March. Doronin, 50, was noticeably not with Campbell, 42, as she attended numerous Oscar parties in Hollywood in February.
A source told us, “Naomi and Vlad have broken up, and he’s been out partying in New York.” A spy added that Doronin was recently spotted at the Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel, flirting with a blonde.
Campbell’s career, meanwhile, has skyrocketed with her TV show “The Face” and she also appears in a sizzling shoot on the cover of this month’s Vogue Brazil.
Doronin, who has been building a futuristic mansion for Campbell in Moscow, is expected to be among the guests at her 43rd birthday bash May 22, which is reportedly taking place in Ibiza.
Despite his long relationship with Campbell, Doronin has not divorced his wife, Ekaterina, even though they are believed to have separated in about 1998. Prior to their split, Ekaterina was married to the property mogul for 24 years, and they have a teenage daughter, Katia.
