Liam Gallagher's son Gene is 25 years old on 2nd July 2026.
The son the Oasis frontman shares with ex-wife and All Saints singer Nicole Appleton was likely in the dark just like Noel's daughter Anaïs when it came to the brothers' big reunion announcement, but do you remember when he accurately predicted it could happen fairly soon?
Let's look back at the moment below...

Back in early August 2024, Gene sat down for an interview with The Times to discuss everything from his new band VILLANELLE to his thoughts on whether dad and his uncle Noel would bury the hatchet and reform the Britpop band.
Asked if the thought the Manchester band could reunite, he told the publication: "It’s nothing to do with me…I mean, will they? I don’t know."
Quizzed specifically if he knew about a possible reunion and had been sworn to silence, he added: “No. I get the feeling my dad wants it, too. Let’s hope it happens. It’s easier to speak about after a couple of pints".
During the chat, Gene also confirmed that he "would love" the estranged Gallagher brothers to make it happen and that he'd even joked with his cousin Anaïs about them staging an intervention for their dads, but he added that they were "too smart for that”.
"She knows what her dad’s like and I know what my dad’s like," said the rocker, adding: "Hey, we’re a big happy family everyone. It’s nothing to do with us."
Less than a month later on 27th August 2024, Liam and Noel Gallagher shared the news that they had - in fact - buried the hatchet and were plotting a huge reunion tour for 2025.
Was it Gallagher intuition perhaps? Or he was showing off the family's great sense of humour? Either way, he was right on the money and we're sure he showed his support when attending much of the band's Oasis Live '25 shows with his family.
Speaking of the dates themselves, his cousin Anaïs - who is Noel Gallagher's daughter with Meg Matthews - opened up about her bond with brothers Lennon and Gene when watching the shows as only they know the history behind the rift.
"They’re the only people who fully understand what’s going on and how crazy it is, the before and after," she told Grazia. "We were brought up the same. We share the same incredible grandmother, but I am her favourite."
Speaking of Gallagher matriarch Peggy, she went on: "She’s the coolest person ever, but she’s not arsed. She’s the opposite of a stage mum. She’s like, 'It’s not for me.' "
