Just who IS Jessica Stam? A well-connected Victoria's Secret model who has walked the runway with Kate Moss... Meet the model who 'put on a cosy display' with Jamie Hince
- Model, 29, was spotted tenderly stroking Jamie Hince's cheek at gig
- 'Stam' hails from Ontario, and grew up on a farm with seven brothers
- Walked runway with Kate Moss and has Marc Jacobs bag named after her
She was pictured looking cosy with Jamie Hince at a gig in the wake of his rumoured split from Kate Moss - and it seems that Jessica Stam and the supermodel have a lot in common.
The rocker appeared on very good terms with the Canadian lingerie model, who leaned in for a hug and was spotted tenderly stroking his cheek in the aftermath of Jamie's band The Kills' sell-out concert at the El Rey Theatre this week.
The 46-year-old guitarist can be seen cuddling the 29-year-old beauty - who is 12 years younger than Kate - outside the Kibitz Room bar in West Hollywood in new images obtained by The Sun.
So where did Jessica come from and what's her story? FEMAIL takes a look at the lingerie model and fashion designer's impressive catwalk career.

Jessica Stam, who was seen at Jamie Hince's gig, is a well-connected Victoria's Secret model with an impressive catwalk career
According to her website, Jessica, who is known by her friends as 'Stam', hails from Kincardine, Ontario, and grew up on a farm with seven brothers.
The blonde beauty was scouted at an amusement park and signed by a local agency. It wasn't, however, until she was shot by iconic snapper Steven Meisel, who captured her for two Italian Vogue covers in the famed September issue, that she really hit the big time.
Clearly a fan of the model's look, he went on to shoot her again - this time as the face of Valentino back in 2003.

Turn heads in a Roberto Cavalli gown
We just sat here for 10 minutes wondering what it must be like to be Leo's flavor of the month. And then our dream came crashing down when we realized we weren't tall blonde and leggy.
Definitely one of the perks to being Leo's squeeze is the opportunity to wear gorgeous runway pieces, like this lilac beauty from Roberto Cavalli's spring collection.
This violet lace gown with flank cutouts and a gorgeous drop waist skirt is as lovely as the first lilac bloom in spring.
The drop waist lengthens, Kelly's already lean body and we love how she just let the dress stand for itself. She kept her hair natural and her makeup simple.
Okay- so now for the bad news. This dress was a runway exclusive piece which means we won't be able to get our hands on it for ourselves. But fear not dear Fashion Finder friends, we've got some great options in store for you below. Our favorite is the gorgeous, delicate lace number by Self Portrait. Take a look!
She may not be as iconic as Kate Moss but Jessica has had her fair share of big moments - including appearing on the cover of Italian Vogue six times and having her very own bag named after her by Marc Jacobs for SS 06.
In fact, the duo even walked the runway together and shot a campaign together. According to The Mirror, Jessica and Kate walked in the Louis Vuitton Fall 2011 show at Paris Fashion Week and starred in a Robert Cavalli campaign in 2007, along with Kate's ex Pete Doherty.
Other coups include modelling for Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana, Dior, Prada, and Bulgari and starring as the face of DKNY’s fragrance Delicious Night.
Proving that she's both beauty and brains, Jessica also hosts Yahoo’s fashion show, The Thread, and does plenty of charity work with orphans.
The multi-talented beauty also branched out into designing in 2010 by creating capsule collections for Rag & Bone and Rachel Roy.

A source told The Sun's Rhodri Phillips: ‘Jessica made straight for him and they appeared to be very close and friendly. They were very flirty with each other, very cuddly.
‘Kate will be devastated to see Jamie moving on with a younger version of herself.’
The Sun also reported that when the bar shut at 2am, Jessica left in a car while Jamie was driven back to his hotel.
MailOnline has contacted both Jamie and Jessica’s representatives for comment.
