Noel Gallagher's daughter Anais has revealed that she has been in therapy since she was 13 years old, and that her father continues to pay her rent. In a rare joint interview with her mother, Meg Matthews, Anais provided an intimate look into her unconventional upbringing and the realities of being a 'nepo baby'.
Therapy from a Young Age
Meg Matthews, 60, told The Times: 'She has been in therapy since she was 13 and I think that was the best thing that me and her dad could have done for her.' The candid conversation shed light on how the family navigated fame and the pressures of being part of the Gallagher dynasty.
Anais on Her Parents' Parenting Style
Anais, now 26, praised her parents for their honesty and transparency. She recalled: 'The stamina of my parents and their friends in the Nineties was incredible. I know all the stories but I can't equate my parents with them, especially my dad, who stopped doing drugs before I was born.' She added that Noel was a 'really great girl-dad', even securing tickets for her One Direction obsession.
Nepotism and Financial Realities
Anais acknowledged the advantages of her background but also highlighted her parents' lack of understanding of her influencer career. She said: 'It wouldn't shock me if neither of my parents knew what I do. They don't understand that posting on social media can be a job.' Meg added: 'She's an influencer - I don't understand what she actually does... She lives a normal life in a not-very-glamorous place next to a railway track. Her dad pays her rent but she doesn't get an allowance from either of us.'
Family Harmony Amid Gallagher Feuds
Despite the well-known tensions between Noel and his brother Liam, Meg confirmed that the younger generation remains close. 'She gets on with her dad and her Uncle Liam, and the cousins are all friends too. They decided early on that their dads' arguing wouldn't interfere with their relationships with each other.'
Anais compared her personality to her father's, describing herself as 'a bit standoffish' and 'guarded'. The interview offers a rare glimpse into the private life of the Gallagher family, highlighting both the privileges and challenges of growing up in the spotlight.
