For the first time in 16 years, Liam and Noel Gallagher are about to electrify the stage at the Principality Stadium in Wales. This monumental reunion has fans buzzing, with thousands gathering to witness the magic of Oasis once again. Even more heartwarming is the support from their children, who many believe played a pivotal role in mending the brothers’ long-standing feud.
Liam, now 52, is a proud father of four. His eldest child, Molly, was born in 1998 to his secret lover Lisa Moorish. Strikingly, she was conceived just two months after Liam wed Patsy Kensit. This early decision led to years of estrangement between father and daughter. Liam’s second child, Lennon, came in 1999 with Patsy, right before their marriage ended. Following that, he welcomed his son Gene, born in 2001 to ex-wife Nicola Appleton, with whom he divorced in 2014 after six tumultuous years. To add to the family dynamics, Liam’s youngest child, Gemma, was born in 2013 to former flame Liz Ghorbani, a relationship that emerged amid his infidelity with Nicola.
Noel, now 59, isn’t far behind in the parenting department, raising three children himself. His first daughter, Anaïs, was born from his brief marriage to Meg Matthews, lasting from 1997 until 2001. Then came his sons Donovan and Sonny with ex-wife Sara McDonald, born in 2007 and 2010, respectively. Tensions have simmered between Noel and Liam, with Liam pointing a finger at Sara for Oasis’s breakup, blaming her for the rift between the brothers that lasted over a decade.
While the Gallagher brothers’ relationship remained strained, Liam also struggled to connect with his eldest, Molly. They didn’t meet until 2018, a reunion that sparked hope for renewed family bonds. Reflecting on this, Molly told The Sunday Times in 2019, “I don’t have any anger…I’m happy to have him now.â€Â
Fast-forward to 2025, and Lennon, the 25-year-old fashion model and musician, talked about the family’s excitement over Oasis’s reunion. “The whole family’s buzzing. It’s going to be a great summer!†he shared with Esquire. He’s inherited some wisdom from Liam, advising, “When you get onstage, just belt it out. Don’t overthink it.â€Â
Gene, Liam’s second son, is carving his own path as part of the band Villanelle. He joined Liam on his Definitely Mayb30 Years’ tour in 2024. Teasing thoughts of his dad reuniting with Noel, he expressed, “I would love it but it’s so beyond my control.†Liam didn’t sugarcoat it, letting Gene know, “If you’re sh*t, you’re not playing.â€Â
Noel’s daughter Anaïs is making waves in her own right as a successful model. Acknowledging her privileged background, she remarked in a 2022 interview, “I would be tone deaf and irresponsible if I didn’t admit to how privileged my life has been.†She appreciates the opportunities her parents’ success has afforded her.
While Noel tends to keep his younger children out of the limelight, Liam has recently opened up about meeting his nephews for the first time over Easter. He expressed his joy on X, sharing, “So we had a BIBLICAL Easter Sunday. Noel, Donovan, and Sonny popped over for a cup of tea. It was absolutely incredible to meet the young guvs.†This moment underscores the ongoing evolution in their family ties, hinting at new beginnings amidst the celebrity chaos.
