Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher made music history last year, putting on a string of 41 gigs, which thrilled fans worldwide.
When they announced the comeback in 2024, the brothers seemingly addressed their long-running feud and very public spats. In a joint statement, they said: "The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised."

Noel's family hit the headlines when it was announced last year that he and his wife, Sara MacDonald, had separated and were headed for divorce. The dispute reportedly cost the Acquiesce hitmaker around £20 million.
But if it's one thing for sure, Noel's family values of staying true to yourself, have trickled down through to his children, with his daughter Anais, 25, telling HELLO! Fashion last year: "We're very unapologetically ourselves as a family. I've always thought that it’s way better to be hated for something that you are, than loved for something that you’re not. I’d rather people really seriously dislike me based on truth rather than say 'she's great and I love her' based on a lie.”

Who was Noel's first wife
The singer-songwriter has been married twice in the past. Noel's first marriage was to Meg Mathews. The couple met in the mid-1990s when Oasis were rising to their peak and got hitched in Las Vegas in 1997.
The year before they became husband and wife, Noel told NME that their mega-hit song 'Wonderwall' was about Meg. The rocker would later deny this to be true after they split in 2001.

In later years, Meg would open up about their split. She told the Irish Mirror in 2020: "I came through the marriage. Everything was public. At the end of the day, I did not have the cog or the PR world that that person [Noel] had. I was just the ex-wife. I had nobody. I didn't know what to do. I didn't have a press agent, wasn't famous, I just had a daughter.
"I used to get terrible PTSD. In 1997 I was the third most written about woman. It was Lady Diana, The Spice Girls and me."
Multi-million pound divorce from wife Sara
Noel met his second wife, Sara MacDonald, before his split from Meg was finalised. The former couple crossed paths at a nightclub in Ibiza in 2000 and, following his divorce, they would go on to become an item. Sara welcomed two boys while with Noel and they tied the knot in 2011.
At the start of 2023, however, the couple confirmed that they were separating. They released a statement to MailOnline in which they said their two sons were the priority.
© David M. BenettNoel has spoken out about the split since but the specific reasons weren't confirmed. He said in a statement to the Big Issue: "It's not uncommon for people who have been in long-term relationships to go their separate ways in their 50s.
"When you get to your mid-50s, you do come to some kind of crossroads in your life. The midlife crisis thing is true for men and women."

Meet Noel's children
Noel has three children. He is a father to daughter Anaïs, 25, who he welcomed with his first wife Meg. Noel also shares sons Donovan, 17, and Sonny, 14, with Sara.
Although his boys are still teenagers, Anaïs has gone on to carve out her own successful career. The 25-year-old is a model and photographer and boasts more than 300k followers on Instagram.

Talking about life at home with her creative parents, Anaïs told HELLO! Fashion: "With my family, what you see is what you get. They are really hard-working people. With my dad, I would always go to him for help or advice – it’s very funny that a rock star from the 90s is like the most level-headed person I know. He's definitely the guiding force in my life."
Who else is in Noel's family?
Noel's nieces and nephews are also quite well known. Liam Gallagher has four children. In 1998, he welcomed his first child, daughter Molly, after the Oasis frontman had a relationship with Lisa Moorish.
A year later, Liam welcomed his son, Lennon, with his then-wife Patsy Kensit.

Lennon is a model who has walked for fashion houses such as YSL and has been photographed in Vogue. Gene, meanwhile, followed in his dad's footsteps and joined a band while growing up.
