Ms. Meg Mathews has demonstrated her continued public support for her former spouse, Mr. Noel Gallagher, by confirming her intention to attend the upcoming Oasis reunion tour and by sharing a series of affectionate archival photographs featuring the two of them.
Ms. Mathews, 59, a columnist by profession, was previously married to Mr. Gallagher, 58, with their union having taken place in June 1997 in Las Vegas. The marriage lasted approximately four years, culminating in divorce.
In light of renewed public interest sparked by her recent social media activity—specifically, the posting of multiple intimate images of herself and Mr. Gallagher—Ms. Mathews issued a denial of speculation suggesting the couple had reconciled. The pair share one child, Ms. Anaïs Gallagher, aged 25.
Despite recent speculation regarding the nature of her relationship with Mr. Noel Gallagher, Ms. Meg Mathews has remained undeterred, continuing to post archival photographs depicting moments of physical affection between herself and her former spouse in the lead-up to the inaugural Oasis reunion performance at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on Friday evening.
While both parties have confirmed that their current relationship is purely platonic, Ms. Mathews has expressed unwavering support for Mr. Gallagher and his brother, Mr. Liam Gallagher, 52, as they prepare to return to the stage for the highly anticipated reunion tour.
In response to a public inquiry posted under one of her recent nostalgic social media entries, in which a follower asked whether she would be attending the band’s first London show scheduled for July 25, Ms. Mathews replied succinctly: “Yes.”
The band Oasis is scheduled to perform multiple shows at Wembley Stadium on July 26 and July 30, with additional performances set for August 2 and 3, as well as September 27 and 28.
While Ms. Meg Mathews is expected to be in attendance at the London shows in support of the band, her daughter, Ms. Anaïs Gallagher, is anticipated to attend the first concert in Cardiff, having reportedly spent time in Wales in recent days.
In the week preceding Oasis’s highly anticipated reunion performance in Cardiff, Ms. Mathews has been regularly sharing archival photographs documenting her former relationship with Mr. Noel Gallagher.
On Thursday, one day prior to the group’s return to the stage, she posted a slideshow compilation featuring images of herself and Mr. Gallagher taken during the 1990s and early 2000s. The post was captioned with an enthusiastic statement: “DAY 2 COUNT DOWN …. What song are they going to kick off with? Let me know your thoughts below.”
The slideshow was set to the track Acquiesce, which may suggest that Ms. Mathews is privy to the band’s planned setlist. According to MailOnline, Oasis is expected to open their performance with that very song.
Following Acquiesce, the band is expected to perform Morning Glory—the title track of their second studio album—followed by additional hits including Supersonic (as the sixth song), Half the World Away, Slide Away, and Live Forever. The show is anticipated to conclude with three of their most iconic songs: Don’t Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall, and Champagne Supernova.
In the days leading up to the highly anticipated Oasis reunion tour—marking more than a decade since the band’s 2009 dissolution—Ms. Meg Mathews has publicly reaffirmed her enduring enthusiasm for the group, frequently sharing archival images and commentary on social media.
On Wednesday, while the band’s hit Live Forever played over a slideshow of images, Ms. Mathews wrote: “DAY 3 Count Down remembering the nights went into days and days went into night … 90s Brit pop 28 years ago who is getting mad for it … or as I would say excited.”
Demonstrating fan-like anticipation, Ms. Mathews continued to post personal images documenting her past relationship with Mr. Noel Gallagher. In another post, she marked three days until the reunion concert, writing: “Day 4 count Down 28 years since the 90s Oasis .. 3 sleeps till Friday 8.15pm they will take the stage,” while playing D’You Know What I Mean? in the background.
Industry reports note that Oasis has maintained sustained streaming popularity, remaining among the most consistently streamed legacy rock bands for the past ten months, dating back to August 2024.
Amid her week-long public countdown, Ms. Mathews faced renewed speculation regarding the nature of her relationship with Mr. Gallagher. This followed the posting of a series of affectionate photographs, some of which showed the former couple in intimate poses, including kissing.
In response to public speculation suggesting a reconciliation 24 years after their divorce, Ms. Mathews issued a denial, clarifying that she and Mr. Gallagher remain close friends but are not romantically involved. Nevertheless, social media users continued to express belief in a rekindled relationship, with one commenter writing: “So glad to see you guys are back together. Make a wonderful couple. Love like that never dies.”#newsafro_
