Noel Gallagher and his wife Sarah Macdonald have announced that they are divorcing.
The couple, who married in a private ceremony at the Lime Wood Hotel in the New Forest in 2011, had been together for 22 years. They have two sons, Donovan and Sonny, born in 2007 and 2010.
A spokesperson for the couple confirmed to NME that they are divorcing.
A statement added: “Noel and Sarah will continue to look after their children together, who remain their priority. Noel and Sarah are asking the media to respect their privacy and that of our family at this time.
Gallagher was previously married to Meg Matthews before they separated in 2000 and later divorced in 2001.
Earlier today, their daughter Anais filmed the former Oasis boss teasing new music, which showed him tracking vocals and instruments in the studio. Snippets of what appear to be two new songs play over the top before the video fades to black with the date “17.01.23” appearing.

Gallagher also teased new music in the run-up to Christmas, sharing a clip of string sessions for a new song recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios. It was captioned with the phrase “INGUT,” which fans speculated could be an abbreviation of a potential song title.
Gallagher previously revealed in an interview with an Italian radio station that his upcoming High Flying Birds album is scheduled for release in May. His lead single “Pretty Boy”, a collaboration with Johnny Marr, was released in October.
