In a surprising turn of events, Noel Gallagher, the iconic Oasis songwriter, has reportedly grown close to socialite Tori Cook after quietly splitting from long-term girlfriend Sally Mash. The couple had parted ways several months ago after two years together, and Gallagher was recently spotted attending the Brit Awards in Manchester without Mash by his side. Instead, it was Tori Cook, a 44-year-old publicist, who was seen supporting him at the prestigious event.
Sources close to the pair have told The Mail on Sunday that Noel and Tori are “getting on really well and enjoying each other’s company.” Friends suggest their bond goes back nearly a decade, and they’ve become even closer following Tori’s split from her husband of three years, Hugo Heathcote, with whom she shares two daughters.
Tori, who once had Sienna Miller as a “maid of honour” at her wedding, was also seen celebrating with Noel at a Brits after-party at Soho House in London. The pair were joined by Noel’s daughter, Anais, 26, with whom Tori is said to have formed a connection. Tori has been a regular fixture in Noel’s life, including joining Oasis on tour last year and cheering him on in South America, where she was pictured with Sally Mash.
Interestingly, Tori is not a stranger to Gallagher’s former relationships. She is known to be friends with Sara Macdonald and Meg Mathews, Noel’s ex-wives. In fact, a holiday photo from 2017 shows Tori with her ex-husband, Heathcote, alongside Gallagher, Macdonald, and their children, highlighting the deep ties within their social circle.
Gallagher’s transition from his long-term relationship with Macdonald to his romance with Mash happened swiftly, with the couple often seen in high-society circles alongside Tori. Now, as the rocker embarks on a new chapter with Tori, it remains to be seen how this friendship develops.
Both Noel Gallagher and Tori Cook have been contacted for comment.
