When your dad is one of the most iconic frontmen in British music history, it’s no surprise that your love life grabs attention too.
That’s exactly what’s happening with Gene Gallagher—Liam Gallagher’s 23-year-old son—who has made headlines not just for his music, but for his whirlwind romance with his new girlfriend.
Gene has been turning heads all summer, not just because of his budding music career, but because of the woman always seen by his side—20-year-old student Nevey Maya.
Fans Spot Familiar Faces in a New Generation
The first time fans caught a glimpse of Gene’s “mystery blonde” was back in March at the Brit Awards.
Now, it’s been confirmed that the woman is Nevey, and the couple has since become inseparable—jetting off to Glastonbury, dancing the nights away in Ibiza, and travelling together to every Oasis Live 25 tour stop.
What really got people talking, though, is how strikingly similar Gene and Nevey look to Liam Gallagher and Nicole Appleton—Gene’s famous parents—back in the day.
One fan even joked it was like watching a young Liam and Nicole fall in love all over again.
All Eyes on the Couple in Cardiff
At Oasis’ huge opening gig in Cardiff, Gene and Nevey didn’t exactly keep things low-key.
According to insiders, the two were spotted getting cosy in the exclusive VIP area of the Principality Stadium.
“They looked completely smitten,” a source shared.
“At one point, you had to do a double take—they looked just like Liam and Nicole back in the early 2000s.
Gene’s got the sunglasses and swagger, and Nevey has Nicole’s vibe. They’re a seriously good-looking couple.”
Nevey’s Instagram Tells the Story
If you’re wondering how fans know so much about the couple’s travels, you only need to peek at Nevey’s Instagram.
She’s been documenting their romantic summer, from scenic beach snaps to a sun-soaked kiss in Spain.
But one small detail might not sit well with Liam.
In a recent post, Nevey set their Spanish getaway photos to Blur’s Beetlebum—an interesting choice, given Liam’s very public rivalry with Blur during the peak of Britpop.
New Music, Big Dreams
While the romance is getting plenty of attention, Gene has quietly been building momentum with his indie band, Villanelle.
And he recently confided to friends that they’ll be among the ten supporting acts on the highly anticipated Oasis tour—a huge step for any young musician.
One insider revealed, “He’s buzzing about it. Gene’s told a few people that he’ll be performing ahead of Oasis on the tour, and he knows what a big opportunity this is.
Playing with his dad is a dream come true.”
Auditions and Ambitions
But just because he’s Liam Gallagher’s son doesn’t mean he got the gig easily.
Liam apparently made Gene prove himself in true Gallagher fashion: “Go on, let’s see what you’re made of,” he reportedly said. “If you’re s***, you’re not playing.”
Luckily, Gene passed the test. He’s been performing vocals and lead guitar for Villanelle, who are set to release their debut single with an independent label in November.
And he’s got big goals, stating confidently: “I want to be the biggest band in the world.”
