Roger first met Kiki, a former air hostessand widow of Danish butane magnate Ole Tholstrup, when she was a neighbour of the Moore'sin Vence, South of France. He bought a four bedroom riverside apartment in Canary Wharf a year ago and announced plans to wed Kiki in the autumn.In 2000, Luisa, then 60, abandoned plans to write her autobiography, and her eldest son Geoffreysaid: 'Both my father and mother just want to get on with their lives.'Luisa said yesterday that she was aware of the divorce, but had not seen her ex in a long time. After Moore left her, she once famously said: 'He dead to me.'Suitably, tonight Kiki's daughter Christina is hosting a St. Valentine's Day bash at Mayfair niterie Noble Rot.
