girlfriend

SMITTEN Oasis star Noel Gallagher is seen out on a date with his new girlfriend who is less than half his age.

The She’s Electric rocker, 58, and events boss Nina Johnson, 28, left a West London gastropub together.

A source said: “There was no mistaking the spark between them.”

We revealed in March the Half The World Away star had split from girlfriend Sally Mash.

Noel and Nina — who works for an events company — were seen smiling before getting into a car on Thursday night after a date at The Hart gastropub in Marylebone, West London.

An onlooker said: “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.”

Originally from the South West, Nina is a marketing manager at London firm Rhubarb Hospitality, which organises corporate events, weddings and posh private functions.

She is said to have met dad-of-three Noel through mutual friends, and has spent a lot of time with him over the past few weeks.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: “She 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.”

We revealed in March that Noel and private members’ club boss Sally had split after two years with “no bad blood”.

In 2024, Noel said of his attractive partners: “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.”

He married Meg Mathews in Las Vegas in 1997 and they had daughter Anais in 2000.

After they split, Noel started dating Scots publicist Sara MacDonald, who he wed in 2011 after almost a decade together.

They had sons Donovan, now 18, and Sonny, 15, before divorcing in 2023.

ZARA McDermott looked proud as punch as she watched boyfriend Louis Tomlinson perform from the side of the stage.

The reality star stood in pride of place throughout his set at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Sunderland.

Zara, 28, kept it casual for the festival outing in a black cropped T-shirt teamed with low-rise green trousers.

The former Love Island star accessorised with a beige Miu Miu baseball cap while wearing her brunette hair loose over her shoulders.

Holding a can of Diet Coke, Zara appeared animated as she chatted and clapped from the VIP viewing area while watching Louis, 33, perform.

Their relationship was recently rocked by rumours Zara was more than just good friends with Joey Essex.

The pair formed a tight-knit bond after meeting while starring together on ITV’s Cooking With The Stars.

In pictures taken after filming wrapped on the reality show, Zara and Joey were seen together, with him leaning in to kiss her on the cheek.

Zara was met with furious trolling despite multiple reports insisting the snaps were completely innocent.

Zara and Louis were first linked in March 2025 after fans noticed they had followed each other on Instagram, with many believing the pair were introduced through the singer’s sisters.

The couple have proved an unlikely match given the singer’s past views on Love Island, the ITV2 dating show that made her famous in 2018.

When Zara’s series came to an end, Louis publicly celebrated online, tweeting: “Can I just say, thank f**k Love Island is over!”

He later doubled down on his criticism of the programme, claiming the hit reality series was “not a good message for the younger people watching”.

JEFF Brazier has just shared a trio of adorable photos of his son Bobby spending time with his niece Isla Jade.

The sweet snaps come shortly after Jeff’s other son, Freddy, announced that he had split from Isla’s mother, Holly Swinburn, again.

In two of the photos, Bobby is holding Isla and looking down at her lovingly.

A third shows Bobby laying on the floor with Isla as she reaches her hand out to him while on a baby mat.

Bobby grins widely at little Isla, who was bundled up into a beige babygrow.

Jeff lovingly wrote in the caption: “Uncle Bobby x Isla Jade,” followed y a love heart emoji.

Fans of the family gushed in the post’s comments section about how wholesome the snaps were.

One user said: “Heart melting.”

A second shared: “So precious… an unbreakable bond.”

A third added: “Stop it. So so beautiful.”

Race Across The World star Freddy and Holly welcomed baby Isla into the world back in March.

The pair have been on/off for the past year having previously split while Holly was pregnant.

They then split again briefly just weeks after Holly gave birth

Their most recent split comes three months after Isla’s birth, with a source telling The Sun that this time the break up is ‘for good’.

The source said: “It’s all over again sadly, they’ve been rowing and fighting and it just all got too much.

“Everyone hopes they can put their issues behind them to co-parent.”

The couple were also reported to have not spoken since the fiery argument.

The source added: “They have split for good. Holly and Freddy just can’t make a relationship work. They’re both too young and similar.

“It all ended after a huge row. They had a fight that got really nasty. Since the row they haven’t seen each other or spoken.

“Friends and family really hope this is the end for them.”

THE girlfriend of Red Hot Chili Peppers rocker Anthony Kiedis has clapped back at criticism of their 33-year age gap relationship.

In a passionate essay published in Vogue, Eileen Kelly, 30, admitted it was her “first time dating someone significantly older” and joked she had been “missing out my whole life”.

While the American writer and podcaster did not name the Scar Tissue hitmaker, 63, directly, he was clearly referenced, and she told how he had “had more time to get his s**t together”.

Seattle-based Eileen noted in the lengthy piece: “My own boyfriend is more than twice my age, which is either alarming or impressive, depending on who you ask.

“It’s my first time dating someone significantly older, and sometimes I joke with friends that I’ve been missing out my whole life.

“There is something to be said for a man who’s simply had more time to get his sh**t together, and my much older boyfriend seems genuinely excited to be with me — not like he’s biding his time before he can swipe for someone better.

“He is fully aware that he’s one lucky b*****d”.

She went on to detail how the pair first met at a birthday party and bonded over her recent trip to Hawaii, where they discovered he had a property in the exact same location.

In an interview in June 2025, she first revealed their relationship when she told she was dating an older man.

In the November, the pair were then spotted together.

The writer added how their “age gap didn’t register at first” then quizzed: “Is it really so difficult to imagine that connection can exist across generations, and that two people of different ages can find something real in each other?”

Previously, alongside her solo Instagram selfies, fans have expressed concern about the partnership.

One recently wrote: “Wondering what kind of new beginnings you’re looking for with Anthony LOL good luck with that.

“Not jealous just stating a fact.

“Ya I am Anthony’s supporter but I know as well as his fans that’s probably not what he is looking for. Just being honest”.

Yet fans were quick to defend the journalist and one wrote: “Because it’s her life and she’s having fun”.

Seemingly defying the trolls, she posted snaps from her “happy place” Hawaii — which means a lot to the pair after being the subject of their first conversation.

In an essay, posted in the same publication in December, she told how she was “aware” how she had never been engaged or had a joint bank account with a partner.

Previously, Californication vocalist Anthony — who has spoken openly about his rough childhood and drug addictions — told how his son Everly Bear keeps him on the straight and narrow,

Although clean of drugs and drink since 2000, Anthony said: “As every heroin addict will know, temptation is always there. But becoming a father has given me a reason to live and stay clean for good.”

Anthony first tried to quit drugs in 1988 after losing the band’s original
guitarist, 26-year-old Hillel Slovak through a heroin overdose, but relapsed five years later.

He says: “Every day since has been a battle to stay clean, but my son makes me thankful that I am. I feel very lucky.”

He shares his son, now 18, with his model ex Heather Christie.

ZACH Noble’s fans have been left horrified after they spotted a concerning detail in his sweet post with pregnant girlfriend Ava Hirons.

The Love Island star, 28, took to Instagram on Saturday to share a series of pictures of the pair on holiday.

The couple are seen posing up a storm on a boat as they went scuba diving in the blue water and kicked back in the sea for the loved-up snaps.

However, in two pictures, Zach was spotted puffing on a cigarette, which left his fans concerned, especially since Ava, 24, is pregnant with their first child.

One person commented: “Smoking around her is crazy.”

Another Instagram user expressed: “Ok Zacahriah. How are you so into fitness and smoking. Noo not when your about to go into fatherhood. Just NO.”

Somebody else warned: “Second hand smoke is a thing, be careful.”

Yet another said: “I can’t believe people smoke in this day and age! It’s not like the old days when people didn’t know how harmful it is. You’re going to be a dad c’mon set a good example.”’

While a fifth concerned fan added: “Please don’t smoke around your pregnant girlfriend and especially the newborn.

“Second hand smoke can increase the risk of SIDS massively. Perfect time to try quitting.”

The pair announced they’re expecting their first child together in February as he shared a scan picture on Instagram and penned: “Incoming summer ‘26.”

The two had previously dropped many telltale hints that suggested they had a baby on the way.

On December 18, Zach took to his Instagram stories revealing to fans that he had just received the “greatest news.”

He wrote: “Just found out the greatest news I think I’ve ever received. God must be real. Time to grind like never before.”

That same day Ava, who is daughter of This Morning star Caroline Hirons, took to her own page to repost an Instagram reel about pregnancy fitness training.

She then went on to upload one of her staple TikTok videos of her dancing where a baby bump could be seen peeking out underneath her hoodie.

In the following days, the pair also both followed a host of parenting accounts.

Earlier this week, Zach and Ava announced their baby’s gender with a carousel of recent pictures to tell fans the happy news.

The first photo saw a stripey baby grow, hat, tiny shoes and 3D ultrasound pictures laid out on a bed.

In another snap, the couple cuddled up and beamed in delight.

They were both wearing black but Ava had her hair tied back in a blue scarf…

And, you might have guessed it, Ava and Zach captioned the post: “It’s a boy.”

Elsewhere, the former basketball player was spotted kissing Ava’s growing bump.

Their relationship was confirmed in October after the pair were caught by a TikTok influencer while having a stroll in London.

They solidified their relationship further by moving in with each other last month, in anticipation for the birth of their child.

CRUZ Beckham has put on a loved-up display with his girlfriend Jackie Apostel in Florida after his cryptic post amid the family feud with his brother Brooklyn.

The singer, 21, put his recent family dramas to the back of his mind to enjoy some quality time with Jackie, 29.

She took to Instagram to share a sneak peek into their holiday with two sweet snaps.

In the first photo, she stood in front of a stunning backdrop of palm trees, blue skies and the stunning sea.

Jackie wore a backless black dress as she looked towards the camera for the sexy picture.

In the second photo, Cruz wrapped his arm around his other half as he planted a kiss on her cheek while closing his eyes.

The musician opted to wear a yellow polo shirt tucked into some smart black trousers.

His mum Victoria commented: “So pretty,” with four red heart emojis.

The holiday snaps come after Cruz shared a post about his phone calls being ignored, just hours after Victoria broke her silence on the family feud with Brooklyn.

Posting to his Instagram stories, Cruz shared a screenshot from his phone of himself attempting to FaceTime someone, cropping out the contact name.

He cryptically said in the caption of the post: “I never get an answer…”

Cruz then added: “Anyway, new tour vlog is out @itsthebreakers check it, link in story’s“.

The aspiring musician didn’t divulge who never answers his calls, but it could have been a nod to his older brother Brooklyn, who has blocked him on social media.

Cruz is amongst the several family members who have been cut off by Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz.

Until now, the Beckham arm of the family have remained fairly silent on the row, choosing not to respond to Brooklyn’s lengthy statement.

But speaking for the first time on the row, Victoria was asked directly about her eldest son during a new interview with the Wall Street Journal.

The Spice Girls star said: “I think that we’ve always—we love our children so much.

“We’ve always tried to be the best parents that we can be. And you know, we’ve been in the public eye for more than 30 years right now, and all we’ve ever tried to do is protect our children and love our children.

“And you know, that’s all I really want to say about it.”

Victoria did not refer to Brooklyn by name when asked about the rift but discussed how she had only ever tried to “protect and love our children”.

Brooklyn had previously suggested public image and Brand Beckham was the biggest priority to his mum and dad.

Victoria and David are understood to have been left devastated over the fall out and have even recently offered to meet with Brooklyn and his wife Nicola in the presence of lawyers and therapists in an attempt to rebuild the rift.

But with Brooklyn seemingly standing strong on his statement, the family are still yet to make any movements towards a reconciliation.

GLADIATORS star Jodie Ounsley has shared rare loved-up snaps with her rugby player girlfriend Ellen Ramsbottom.

The pair went public with their romance in July last year and now Jodie has called her other half “my calm in all the chaos” in a gushing birthday tribute.

The BBC One star, known as Fury on the show, took to her Instagram feed to share a series of snaps of the two of them together as well as solo pictures of Ellen.

In one photo, the ladies are glammed up in stunning dresses as they hold hands while walking down a hotel hallway.

In another picture, the two are seen enjoying a beach day as Ellen plants a kiss on Jodie’s face.

She captioned the post: “The person who holds everything together behind the scenes, my calm in all the chaos and the one who makes me cackle like no one else.

“Happy Birthday, ya special human,” Jodie concluded.

Their fans flocked to the comments section to send the couple some love as one said: “Eugh the beautiful eyes in this relationship is unreal!”

Another person gushed: “You two seem like a ‘forever’ kinda couple. I love it xxxx.”

While a third added: “Happy birthday to your special person.”

Jodie and Ellen first met when they were 16, playing together at Loughborough Rugby.

They went public with their romance last Summer in a YouTube vlog and their relationship appears to be going from strength to strength.

The post comes after Jodie’s dad Phil Ounsley, 56, tragically died after collapsing on one of Yorkshire’s three peaks in December.

She shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram as she penned: “Heartbroken. Yesterday, my dad suddenly passed away while doing one of his favourite things—walking Pen-y-Ghent.

“He had hiked that peak countless times throughout his life, but none of us knew he wouldn’t walk back down that day.

“I don’t have the words. All I can say is that he was, and always will be, my absolute hero.

“He encouraged me to dream big and loved me wholeheartedly, and for that I will be forever grateful. Until we meet again, Dad.”
