Princess Mary’s nephew Count Nikolai sparks rumours he has split from girlfriend Benedikte Thoustrup – after they haven’t been photographed together in a month

Princess Mary’s nephew Count Nikolai of Denmark is rumoured to have split with his long-term girlfriend Benedikte Thoustrup.

Nikolai, 25, and his Danish partner Benedikte, 24, have not shared to social media any photos of them together since August.

This shock move comes after they previously shared galleries of loved-up snaps which captured them attending many exclusive events together.

Neither have made any official announcement confirming a split, after not being seen together publicly for one of the longest periods since they began dating in 2018.

Benedikte, who is the founder of Danish hair beauty company BénéSoie, has posted several glamorous modelling shots to Instagram over the past month – and Nikolai has been absent from all of them.

The last time they were photographed together was when Benedikte made her catwalk debut on August 12 at Copenhagen Fashion Week.

The pair were seen posing up a storm together for the cameras in complementary monochrome outfits. 

Meanwhile, Danish Royal-turned-fashion model Nikolai last month posted a gallery of snaps to social media which captured him enjoying a luxury holiday in Europe – and Benedikte did not appear in a photo with him.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out for comment.

Nikolai and his blonde bombshell partner have dated for years, and were often seen attending exclusive red carpet events together.

In 2022, she accompanied him to Australia as he relocated for several months to study at the University of Technology Sydney for a semester.

Nikolai, whose father is Prince Joachim of Denmark – the younger brother of Princess Mary’s husband Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark – is seventh in line to the Danish throne. 

In March 2023, Count Nikolai of Denmark launched a new Instagram account to promote his modelling career after being stripped of his ‘HRH’ status by his grandmother, Queen Margrethe. 

It was a tumultuous year for the Danish Royal Family after the monarch controversially took the title from Prince Joachim’s eldest son, as well as also taking the prince and princess titles from his younger children Athena, Prince Felix and Prince Henrik.
