Noel Gallagher ‘smitten’ as he ‘dates woman more than half his age’
Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher, 58, has been seen on a night out in London with 28‑year‑old marketing manager Nina Johnson following his split from private members’ club boss Sally Mash.
Noel Gallagher is said to be dating a woman more than half his age.
The Oasis rocker, 58, was spotted on a night out in London with new partner Nina Johnson, 28, as the Oasis songwriter continues a high‑profile year that has already seen the band’s reunion tour dominate headlines.
The pair were seen leaving The Hart gastropub in Marylebone, West London, on Thursday (25.05.26) night after spending several hours together, with pictures of the pair together published by The Sun on Sunday. (24.05.26)
It comes after it emerged in March Noel had split from former girlfriend Sally Mash, a private members’ club boss.
Noel and Nina, who works for an events company, were photographed smiling before getting into a waiting car.
An onlooker told The Sun: “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.
“Noel looked particularly happy when he came out – and who can blame him? As they got to the waiting car, Noel opened the door for Nina and they got in the back seat together.”
Nina, originally from the South West of England, is a marketing manager at London firm Rhubarb Hospitality, which organises corporate events, weddings and private functions.
She is said to have met dad‑of‑three Noel through mutual friends and has been spending time with him over recent weeks, after Oasis’ recent reunion tour returned the band to dominating global headlines.
A source also told The Sun on Sunday: “(Nina) is a lot younger than him, but that doesn't bother either of them.
“They have been seeing a lot of each other in the past few weeks.
“Her career is going great guns. She is really bright and taking her career seriously.
“She's her own woman and Noel really respects that.
“They really enjoy each other's company and both love the finer things in life and go to a lot of the same places. It is fair to say Noel is smitten and he is telling people he couldn't be happier.”
In 2024, speaking about his history of relationships, Noel 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.”
Noel married Meg Mathews, 60, in Las Vegas in 1997 and they had daughter Anais, now 26, in 2000.
After they split, he began a relationship with Scottish publicist Sara MacDonald, 54, who he married in 2011 after almost a decade together.
Noel and Sara had two sons, Donovan, now 18, and Sonny, 15, before divorcing in 2023, ahead of Oasis’s eventual decision to reunite for a 2025 tour.
The Oasis songwriter has not commented on his alleged new relationship.
