While Oasis fans are still buzzing over Britpop nostalgia and sold-out tours, Liam Gallagher has been dealing with a very different kind of spotlight — one that involves lawyers, court filings, and a long-running family dispute.
The singer reportedly appeared via video link in a New York court last week as his legal battle with the mother of his youngest child took another tense turn.
The Child He’s Never Met and a Case That Won’t Go Away
Liam, now 53, is the father of 12-year-old Gemma, born after a brief relationship with music journalist Liza Ghorbani back in 2010.
Despite acknowledging paternity years ago, Liam has publicly admitted that he has never met his daughter.
The issue first exploded in 2013, when Liza filed a £2 million lawsuit seeking child support, forcing the rocker to formally address the situation.
Fresh Accusations from Both Sides
The latest court hearing brought renewed friction.
Liam reportedly accused Liza of using money intended for their daughter “inappropriately,” while she pushed back by claiming he has been bad-mouthing her.
At the heart of the dispute is money — specifically, how much Liam should be contributing toward Gemma’s care.
A Push for Higher Payments to Support Special Needs
Liza is asking the court to significantly increase the annual support payments, citing Gemma’s autism and special educational needs.
Her request reportedly includes £75,000 per year for a nanny, £22,500 a month to cover housing costs, and £5,000 annually for holidays.
Altogether, the demands could push Liam’s yearly contribution close to £500,000.
Touring Millions Under the Microscope
The timing of the request hasn’t gone unnoticed.
Liam’s recent Britpop tour is estimated to have earned around £350 million, and Liza has reportedly filed a motion seeking a deeper look into his finances, including tour revenue.
Court records revealed that Liam has paid roughly £750,000 since 2015, when both sides reached a confidential settlement.
At the time, he was believed to be paying about £3,000 a month.
A Complicated Family History
This is just one chapter in Liam Gallagher’s famously messy personal life.
He has four children from different relationships — daughter Molly, 27, from a short relationship with singer Lisa Moorish; son Lennon, 26, with ex-wife Patsy Kensit; and son Gene, 24, with ex-wife Nicole Appleton.
Despite the chaos of his past, Liam is now engaged to his co-manager Debbie Gwyther, 40, and appears to be enjoying a more stable phase.
Patsy Kensit’s Quiet Goodbye to the Past
The legal drama comes as Liam’s former wife Patsy Kensit makes headlines of her own.
The actress recently revealed she’s selling a pair of diamond earrings Liam gave her during their marriage in the late 1990s.
The jewellery has a reserve price of £10,000 and will be auctioned next month at The Swan at Tetsworth in Oxfordshire.
“Times Are Tough” — Even for Famous Faces
Patsy explained that the decision was practical rather than emotional, admitting that financial pressures are hitting many actors hard.
She said she hopes the earrings “go to a good home” and noted that she’s far from the first woman to sell jewellery gifted by an ex.
The pieces were last publicly seen when she wore them to an awards ceremony in 1999.
No Contact, But No Bitterness Over Oasis
Despite sharing a son, Patsy revealed she hasn’t seen Liam in 26 years.
Speaking on Never Mind The Buzzcocks, she said she didn’t attend any of the Oasis reunion shows but still found the moment magical.
While she’s distant from her ex, she made it clear she’s thrilled for their son Lennon and happy to see fans rediscover the band’s legacy.
What Comes Next?
With another court hearing looming and fresh scrutiny over Liam Gallagher’s finances, the legal battle shows no sign of ending quietly.
Whether the court sides with increased support or maintains existing arrangements, one thing is clear — this is a story where fame, family, and unfinished business remain tightly tangled.
