Noel Gallagher's New Romance Echoes Past with Ex-Wife Meg Mathews
Noel Gallagher has reportedly returned to familiar patterns following his breakup with girlfriend Sally Mash after a two-year relationship. The Oasis legend has grown close to socialite Tori Cook in recent months, according to exclusive reports from The Mail on Sunday. This development comes after a quiet separation from Mash several months ago, marking a new chapter in the musician's personal life.
Striking Resemblance to First Wife
Tori Cook, a 44-year-old publicist who represents childhood friend Sienna Miller, bears an uncanny resemblance to Gallagher's first wife, Meg Mathews. With her blonde hair and tan complexion, Cook looks remarkably similar to Mathews, whom Gallagher married in 1997 and divorced in 2001. Friends of the pair have noted this visual similarity, suggesting Gallagher may be drawn to familiar types.
The connection between Cook and Gallagher isn't entirely new. She has been part of his social circle for years and even joined the Oasis tour last year, which both Mathews and Mash regularly attended. Recent photographs show Cook and Gallagher traveling together after attending the Brit Awards in Manchester last weekend, fueling romance rumors among their acquaintances.
Integration into Gallagher's Family Circle
Cook appears to be integrating smoothly into Gallagher's family life. She partied with the musician at a Brits after-party at Soho House, where she enjoyed cocktails with his 26-year-old daughter Anais. Friends report that Cook has formed a bond with Anais, suggesting a comfortable dynamic within Gallagher's immediate family.
Interestingly, Cook also maintains friendships with both of Gallagher's ex-wives. She appears close to his second ex-wife, Sara Macdonald, and historical photographs from 2017 show Cook with her ex-husband Hugo Heathcote posing alongside Gallagher, Macdonald, and their children. This interconnected social circle highlights the complex relationships within Gallagher's world.
Gallagher's Relationship History
Gallagher's romantic history has been eventful. His marriage to Meg Mathews began with a Las Vegas wedding in 1997 featuring an Elvis impersonator but ended in divorce less than four years later amid acrimonious circumstances. The split was described as one of the nastiest in recent celebrity history, with claims of infidelity and Mathews reportedly suffering post-traumatic stress after giving birth to their daughter Anais just eight months prior.
Following his divorce from Mathews, Gallagher dated Sara Macdonald for ten years before marrying her in 2011. Their divorce in 2023 was followed by a brief romance with high-society events manager Sally Mash, who was often pictured at parties with Tori Cook. Gallagher and Mash reportedly parted ways earlier this year after deciding they were not right for each other, though sources indicate the split was amicable with no bad blood between them.
Recent Developments and Speculation
In recent months, Gallagher and Mathews have rekindled their friendship, with some fans speculating about a romantic reconciliation after 24 years apart. In September, Mathews shared a cryptic Instagram post referencing a Daily Mail article that described her as Gallagher's rock following his £20 million divorce from Macdonald. The post was captioned Part 2, echoing the article's headline about a Gallagher reunion.
As Gallagher navigates these complex relationships, his connection with Tori Cook continues to develop. Friends have told The Mail on Sunday that Tori and Noel are getting on really well and enjoying each other's company. With Cook's established place in his social circle and her resemblance to his first wife, this new relationship represents both continuity and change in Gallagher's personal life.
