<p id=”par-1_25″>Fresh off Oasis’ <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/music/”>sold-out reunion tour</a> shows in the U.K., Noel Gallagher was spotted out on a date with his “rarely-seen <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-relationships/?swcfpc=1″>girlfriend</a>” Sally Mash. </p>
<p id=”par-2_40″>The two were joined by <em><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/the-crown/?swcfpc=1″>The Crown</a></em> actor Matt Smith and his partner. Noel was dressed in a dark blue button-down and black trousers, while Mash wore a cream blazer and top with jeans and a gold crossbody bag. </p>
<p id=”par-3_34″>But Noel did not look happy at all, and now a body language expert is sharing the likely reason for that and weighing in on Noel and his brother Liam’s hugely successful tour. </p>

<p id=”par-5_77″>Speaking on behalf of <a href=”https://casino.betfair.com/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Betfair Casino</a> about the brothers’ 2008 performance in the U.S., Stanton told Showbiz Cheat Sheet: “It looked like they’ve given up. Their body language suggested that they’re at loggerheads with each other. They [were] just going through the motions of getting it done. Non-verbally, there’s no rapport between them at all. They’re not looking at each other at all, there’s no eye contact at all. There is no matching and mirror of posture.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_75″>However, on their recent tour in the U.K., the expert observed that “There have been clear signs of them being a lot more comfortable with each other. The eye contact is there and there are no power gestures between them. In the past, both Noel and Liam’s egos would often kick in, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. Neither brother is trying to appear more powerful or better than the other.” </p>
<p id=”par-7_98″>Stanton continued: “They’ve definitely put their egos to one side. They seem to be in good spirits. They’ve clearly found some common ground. They appear to have buried whatever issues they had with each other so they could reform. It’s clear from the reaction of the crowd that they’re just as popular — if not more so — than they were in the first place. They’ve reverted back to their normal performer mode very quickly. It’s like riding a bike, as they say. They’ve clearly got a deep rapport. They are brothers after all. Onwards and upwards. </p>
<p id=”par-8_38″>“The contrast to now is stark. We’ve had them holding hands, shaking hands. The rapport is really strong. They’re a lot more mature and a lot of water has gone under the bridge. They’re really on point now.”</p>

<p id=”par-9_25″>Stanton also talked about the recent photos of Noel with Mash and why the Oasis guitarist did not look thrilled in any of the snaps.</p>
<p id=”par-10_62″>According to Stanton, “They seem to be a really tight couple in these new pictures. Noel doesn’t often show a lot of affection when out in public. You can tell he likes to keep his life private a lot of the time. Noel is showing facial expressions of frustration and anger, and I think that is due to them being photographed. </p>
<p id=”par-11_95″>“We can see Sally is walking next to him closely, interlocking her arm, so she is trying to increase the level of closeness. We can also see her looking into his eyes, trying to get his attention. Despite Noel’s demeanour, they come across as strong, well-connected and trusting of each other. It’s telling us they feel comfortable in their own skin, with Sally being the more dominant of the two on this occasion. She doesn’t seem as agitated by the attention that’s on them, so she’s probably in a better place to be leading the way.”</p>
