Noel Gallagher is facing criticism for being associated with the “Leonardo DiCaprio club” after the 58-year-old Oasis musician was seen with a woman more than 30 years his junior during a London outing.
RadarOnline.com reports the Oasis guitarist and songwriter was spotted leaving The Hart gastropub in Marylebone, west London, with 28-year-old Nina Johnson, amidst the band’s resurgence following their successful 2025 reunion tour.
Photographs from their night out captured Noel and Nina smiling as they entered a car together after spending several hours at the venue. Their relationship surfaced months after Gallagher reportedly ended his relationship with Sally Mash, who manages a private members’ club.
Nina, who hails from south-west England, is a marketing manager at Rhubarb Hospitality, a company known for organizing corporate events, weddings, and luxury functions.
A source mentioned, “Noel and Nina were clearly not seeking attention, yet their chemistry was evident to those around them. They remained in their own world, chatting and laughing, appearing completely comfortable with each other. Noel seemed more carefree than he has in a long time, and Nina appeared relaxed and happy in his company.”
Online reactions to their age difference have been strong, with comparisons quickly being drawn to Leonardo DiCaprio. However, the couple reportedly pays little attention to the criticism. Nina is described as being career-driven and successful, traits that Noel finds appealing. He appreciates her confidence and independence, preferring someone who does not depend on his fame.
Their lifestyles and social circles overlap significantly, leading to a natural progression in their relationship. Over recent weeks, they have been nearly inseparable whenever possible, with those close to Noel noticing a positive change in his demeanor.
Rumors about their relationship sparked immediate comparisons on social media to 51-year-old actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who often faces scrutiny for dating younger women.
Some fans humorously suggested Noel had joined the “DiCaprio club,” while others defended him, dismissing the criticism of the age difference.
Noel has previously expressed confidence in his relationships. In 2024, he stated, “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.”
The Britpop icon married Meg Mathews, 60, in Las Vegas in 1997. The couple had a daughter, Anais, now 26, in 2000 before separating.
He later began a relationship with Scottish publicist Sara MacDonald, 54, and they married in 2011 after nearly a decade together.
They have two sons, Donovan, 18, and Sonny, 15, and divorced in 2023.
Friends say Noel met Nina through mutual connections in London’s hospitality and entertainment scenes.
They reportedly spent more time together as Oasis regained prominence in the music world ahead of their 2025 reunion tour.
Noel continues to be one of Britain’s most recognizable rock stars since Oasis burst onto the scene in the 1990s with albums such as (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? and Definitely Maybe.
Despite longstanding public feuds with his younger brother Liam Gallagher, the two reunited for the Oasis ’25 comeback tour, reigniting global interest in the band.
