Noel Gallagher, 58, ‘sparks romance rumours with events boss, 28’

Noel Gallagher was seen on a London date night with an events boss on Saturday, months after splitting from his girlfriend of two years.

The Oasis frontman, 58, was at a West London pub with Nina Johnson, 28, who was reportedly introduced to the musician through mutual friends.

Gallagher is said to be ‘smitten’ with the marketing boss, who is 30 years his junior, and an onlooker has said the pair spent hours ‘engrossed’ in each other’s company.

They were seen smiling as they emerged from the pub in pictures obtained by The Sun, walking side by side at a slight distance from one another.

A source told the publication: ‘She is a lot younger than him, but that doesn’t bother either of them. They really enjoy each other’s company and both love the finer things in life and go to a lot of the same places.’

Meanwhile, a reported onlooker said of the pair’s date: ‘They were laughing and joking, but keeping a slight distance so they did not look like a couple. 

‘However, there was no mistaking the spark between them and they were clearly together. They had been engrossed in each other’s company inside and spent hours together, just the two of them.’

Earlier this year, Gallagher split from his longtime girlfriend Sally Mash, who was a fixture at the Oasis reunion tour. The pair reportedly decided they ‘weren’t right for each other’. 

The pair were first spotted together in Paris in 2023, some months after Gallagher and his ex-wife Sara MacDonald announced their divorce after 22 years together. 

Their separation was confirmed by the couple’s spokesperson, who said: ‘Noel and Sara will continue to look after their children who remain the priority.

‘They ask the media to respect their privacy and that of our family at this time.’

Gallagher later said their relationship started to break down during the Covid-19 lockdown, as they ‘grew tired of each other’, but Sara was also ‘furious’ over his constant partying.

MacDonald was reportedly expected to receive as much as £20million in the divorce, which came ahead of the highly lucrative Live ’25 Tour with Gallagher’s brother Liam.

The music publicist was also said to have won their £8m Hampshire mansion in the settlement.

Metro contacted Noel Gallagher’s representatives for comment on this story.
