Noel Gallagher to be a father again

Wednesday March 7th 2007

Oasis star Noel Gallagher and his long term girlfriend Sara MacDonald are expecting their first child together.

The Sun reports a source close to Noel as saying,

"Noel and Sara are really, really happy and excited. This is something they both wanted but they kept the news to themselves until they were sure everything was OK with the baby.

"Neither of them have ever wanted to get married but it felt like the right time to start a family together. The last seven years have been a lot of fun and they have a huge house in the country which is perfect for the kids to be running around. They are both thrilled."

Noel has a seven-year-old daughter, Anais, from his marriage to Meg Matthews.

Noel and his younger brother Liam formed Oasis in 1992 and since then the hugely iinfluential band have sold over 40 million albums.
