The Kills rocker Jamie Hince and Kate split earlier this month and despite his initial reluctance, the guitarist is prepared to start a family with the British beauty to win her back.
A source close to the 39-year-old musician said: “Jamie is upset that Kate is being painted as this party animal who ruined their relationship with her wild ways. The reality is far from that.
“In fact, they split over her desire to start trying for a baby. Jamie told her he didn’t want to commit to that while things were going so well with his band and he was away on tour so much. But she argued that could remain the case for years and she didn’t want to wait that long.
“He is ready to back down over the baby issue to save his relationship. He’s sure they can get things back on track.”
Jamie and Kate, 34, who began dating last July, are now set for showdown talks when he returns from a US tour in two weeks.
The source added to Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Jamie misses her and has been struggling with the thought of being apart from her for good.”
Kate already has a five-year-old daughter, Lila Grace, with ex-boyfriend Jefferson Hack.

SHE’S the model of the moment, but Catherine McNeil was a notable absence from Milan Fashion Week after she was struck down by a mystery illness.
The Aussie beauty was forced to pull out of the penultimate fashion event because she was unwell, her agent confirmed yesterday.
While she is recuperating in Europe, it is not yet known whether she will be better in time to take part in the next round of catwalk shows, which begin in France this week.
“She’s just got a recurring sickness,” her local agent Kathy Ward, from Chic Model Management, told Confidential.
“It’s nothing too bad but she does get this problem every so often. She might be at Paris (for Fashion Week) - we’re not sure.” While she would not be drawn on the exact nature of the illness, Ward said McNeil’s hectic schedule may have played a part.
“She works every day,” she said.
“There’s big demands on these girls. During the show season they work from seven in the morning until two in the morning.”
Earlier this month McNeil, who grew up in Queensland, opened the Diane von Furstenberg show at New York Fashion Week.
She also appeared on the pages of September’s American Vogue and stars on the cover of the November issue of Australian Vogue.
At the tender age of 19, the New York-based model has already featured in a Versace campaign with Kate Moss and modelled for Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga.

Supermodel HEIDI KLUM’s hit reality TV fashion design contest PROJECT RUNWAY has been dealt a severe blow as it plans for a new season - a New York judge has blocked the show’s move to America’s Lifetime network.
The judge has issued a preliminary ruling against the Weinstein Company, which owns Lifetime, to prevent network bosses airing the sixth season of the programme.
Production of the new season is already underway and Lindsay Lohan has filmed her stint as a guest judge in the series opener, which was expected to air on Lifetime in January (09) after the network picked up the show from NBC Universal-owned Bravo.
A statement from NBC reads, “The overwhelming evidence demonstrated that The Weinstein Company violated NBC Universal’s right of first refusal to future cycles of Project Runway. After hearing all of the evidence, the court issued an order prohibiting The Weinstein Company from taking the show or any spin-off to Lifetime.”
A spokeswoman for the Weinstein Co. says, “It’s unfortunate that the people hurt most by this ongoing dispute are the loyal fans of Project Runway. In the meantime, Lifetime will pursue all measures to uphold its valid and binding agreement reached with The Weinstein Co.”
According to the spokeswoman, production on the sixth season will continue, while network bosses continue their legal battle, which is expected to return to court in November (08).

Kate Moss is reportedly set to turn to music when she retires from modelling.
The supermodel has revealed she plans to quit the catwalk before she turns 35 and concentrate on a music career instead.
“She has told everyone she won’t carry on modeling after she turns 35 … song writing and being a singer will slowly take over,” a source reveals to ace showbiz.
Kate is no stranger to music and co-wrote songs for the Babyshambles ‘Shotters Nation’ album while dating frontman Pete Doherty.
Kate has also reportedly written material with her latest ex-boyfriend The Kills’ guitarist Jamie Hince before they broke up.
“Kate says, ‘It’s all about Lila. She knows which songs are good and which are rubbish so I go by her,’” the source explained.

Our friends at Kempt spotted Dasha Zhukova, Russian oligarch / Luxist mascot Roman Abramovich’s gorgeous 27-year-old girlfriend, partying with supermodels and movie stars at an A-list art gallery opening in Moscow the other night. Zhukova (right) rubbed elbows with the likes of Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova (left), sexy star of several ad campaigns, at the opening for megabucks art dealer Larry Gagosian in a former chocolate factory. As we reported recently, Abramovich has bankrolled a new Moscow art gallery for Zhukova, which will mount a major Francis Bacon exhibition in 2010. At the Gagosian show, works by the likes of Jeff Koons and Vuitton collaborator Takashi Murakami were on display.

True party-girl
Kate Moss decided one of the best ways to get over her ex would be to leap into the arms of another guy… and snog his face off.
Just a week after splitting from Jamie Hince, I saw the man-eating model lock lips with a dark, bearded bloke in a private corner of new Mayfair
nightclub Vendome.
My mouth was hanging open as newly blonde Kate, with her back against a wall, snuggled up and snogged the rugged chap. Her friends asked me what I was staring at, but I was building up a picture of him in my memory so I could later identify him as Vivienne Westwood’s co-designer Christopher Di Pietro.
Come on Kate, if you’re going to snog a guy in public then you have to expect me to track him down.
Di Pietro designs Westwood’s Red Label collection and organised the fashion week show where 34-year-old Kate was crying the day she split from The Kills guitarist Hince.
And on Thursday night, the fuzz-faced one couldn’t keep his eyes off Moss as they started their night at an Agent Provocateur fragrance launch at London club Dolce.
Fuelled by champagne and vodka, they moved on to a British Film Industry party thrown by Kate’s pal Jude Law and that’s where I saw them kiss.
One of Moss’s mates said: “Kate is single, so she can do what she wants.”
Last week, she had a bit of fun when a nightclub dancer gyrated in her lap at Bungalow 8.

IT takes some woman to overshadow Elle Macpherson, but Queen Rania of Jordan managed to do just that during a UN push to end global poverty this week.
The Body was at the side of the Middle Eastern royal, as well as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, adding her celebrity name to a campaign to halve the number of people suffering in the world by 2015.
Dressed in jeans, a campaign T-shirt and feather jacket, the Aussie supermodel was out-styled by the diplomatically designer-clad Queen Rania.
But it wasn’t a parade of fashion but fashionable types that helped raise the profile of the worthy cause, with Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am belting out a song he penned called In My Name.
Pledging their names to the wall opposite the UN headquarters in New York were Aussie singers John Butler and Missy Higgins.

American actor George Clooney is said to be smitten with his ex-girlfriend, English supermodel Lisa Snowdon, after watching her perform on Strictly Come Dancing.
The two have been good friends ever since they split up a long time ago, but it seems that the Tango Snowdon performed is pulling Clooney back to her.
Clooney, who has been single ever since splitting up with Sarah Larson in May, has gone so far as to send Snowdon flowers, cards and texts.
Prior to the show starting, George sent Lisa a ”good luck” text”. It was the first time they”d had any contact for some time. Lisa was pretty amazed but assumed that would be the last of it, the Mirror quoted a source as saying.
Instead, after the show George sent her another text, this one was along the lines of ”Wow! the source stated.
Rumours are rife that the 47-year-old actor might even turn up to watch his ex perform.
Tomorrow Lisa and Brendan Cole are dancing the salsa and all eyes will be on them - including George’’s, the source said.
He has promised to send a bouquet to her dressing room and the talk backstage is he may make a surprise appearance in London in the coming weeks.
Now that he’’s single, gossip is spreading like wildfire that he wants to woo Lisa back.
Obviously everyone is desperate for Lisa to stay in the competition - if only for a glimpse of George! the source added.

HEARTBREAK makes messes of us all – even Kate Moss.
Granted, she’s the prettiest tired and emotional woman we’ve ever seen.
But the 34-year-old is clearly feeling the pain over her split from Jamie Hince, 39.
So much so that we hear the devastated supermodel is desperate to work through their problems and reunite with The Kills rocker as soon as possible.
But that’s not too easy at the moment, with the Atlantic Ocean acting as a bastard, watery barrier as Jamie tours in the US.
And with him in LA, which is eight hours behind us, the time difference isn’t helping.
Out on Thursday night in London, poor old Kate hasn’t quite been capable of lucid conversation.
Our source on the sauce, told us: “Kate was drinking to try to blot out the heartbreak and take her mind off missing Jamie.
“She ended up getting herself into a right state – very publicly, too.”
Our mole added: “Kate tried to call Jamie. They’ve spoken a few times and agreed to meet and work things out when he gets home – but this time she couldn’t get hold of him.
“The time difference is a nightmare but it still devastated Kate. She clearly loves him enough to make it work.”
Our hearts truly go out to the poor lamb.
