Noel Gallagher has put age-gap relationships back in the spotlight after being spotted enjoying a Champagne-fuelled date night with his girlfriend, Nina Johnson, who is 31 years younger. The 59-year-old Oasis star and the 28-year-old events organiser looked close as they enjoyed an evening out at posh Italian restaurant Martino’s in Sloane Square, central London.
Double date in London
The couple were joined by Noel’s best pal James Cook and his partner Lauren Brown for the double date, where they were reportedly seen holding hands, laughing and sharing glasses of Champagne. One diner said Noel and Nina looked “really loved up” and were affectionate as they sat down with their friends.
The group reportedly spent around three hours at the restaurant, with bottles of Dom Perignon costing £380 at the swanky venue. The sighting comes after Noel and Nina were also seen together at the NFL clash between the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Commanders at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. Nina is also expected to join the singer on Oasis’s sold-out tour next year.
