Noel Gallagher's girlfriend pregnant

Noel Gallagher and his girlfriend Sara MacDonald are expecting their first child together.

The Oasis guitarist has been dating MacDonald for seven years and is said to be delighted with the news.

A close friend of the couple told The Sun: "Noel and Sara are really, really happy and excited. This is something they both wanted but they kept the news to themselves until they were sure everything was OK with the baby.

"Neither of them have ever wanted to get married but it felt like the right time to start a family together. The last seven years have been a lot of fun and they have a huge house in the country which is perfect for the kids to be running around. They are both thrilled."

Gallagher already has a seven-year-old daughter, Anais, from his marriage to ex-wife Meg Matthews.
