Pub Date Sparks New Gallagher Romance
Rock star Noel Gallagher joined a woman for a night out in London
Pictures snapped during the pair's date night showed Noel and Nina smiling as they climbed into a waiting car after spending several hours together. Their romance has emerged months after it was revealed Gallagher had split from former girlfriend Sally Mash, who runs a private members' club.
Nina, originally from south-west England, works as a marketing manager for Rhubarb Hospitality, an events company specializing in corporate functions, weddings and luxury events.
A source said: "Noel and Nina were definitely were not acting like two people trying to attract attention, but the chemistry between them was obvious to anyone nearby. They stayed tucked away in their own little world for most of the evening, talking constantly, laughing together and looking completely comfortable with each other. Noel looked genuinely carefree and lighter than he has in a long time, while Nina seemed totally at ease around him and was clearly enjoying every minute of the night.
Social Media Reacts to 30 Year Age Gap
Fans made immediate comparisons to Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
"The reaction to the age gap has been intense online, with people instantly making comparisons to Leonardo DiCaprio, but privately neither of them is paying much attention to the criticism. Nina is very driven professionally and has built a successful career for herself, which is something Noel finds incredibly attractive and refreshing. He likes the fact she is confident, social and independent rather than someone relying on his fame.
"They have a lot of overlap in terms of their lifestyle and the places they spend time in, so it has all developed very naturally. Over the last few weeks they have been almost inseparable whenever their schedules allow, and people around Noel say he seems happier, more energized and far more positive than he has been for quite a while."
The relationship rumors prompted almost immediate comparisons on social media to 51-year-old Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who has frequently faced scrutiny for dating younger women.
Rock Star Confident in Love Life History
Gallagher divorced Scottish publicist Sara MacDonald in 2023.
Some fans joked Noel had become the latest male celebrity recruit to the "DiCaprio club," while others defended the musician and dismissed criticism surrounding the 30-year age gap.
Noel has previously spoken publicly about his confidence in relationships. In 2024, he said: "I've punched above my weight several times in my life, and I think if you can make a girl laugh the battle is more than won."
The Britpop star married Meg Mathews, 60, in Las Vegas in 1997. The couple welcomed daughter Anais, now 26, in 2000 before later separating.
Noel then began a relationship with Scottish publicist Sara MacDonald, 54, and the pair married in 2011 after almost a decade together.
They share two sons – Donovan, 18, and Sonny, 15 – before divorcing in 2023.
