Noel Gallagher was the love of Meg Mathews' life

The former Oasis guitarist was married to interior designer Meg from 1997 to 2001 and they have an 11-year-old daughter Anais together, and despite their split Meg looks back fondly on their time together.

When asked if he was the love of her life, she replied: 'Of course. I wouldn't have married and had a baby with him if he hadn't been.'

Since they split, Noel has had two more children, Donovan, three, and six-month-old Sonny with his new partner, Sara MacDonald, but Meg has never remarried.

She was engaged to The Royal College of London Professor Peter Sidell, but she called it off last September and says she is not ready for a relationship at present, but hopes to settle down in the future.

Meg added to HELLO! magazine: ' do want to be in a relationship again, just not right now. Do I want to be sitting alone with 10 cats when I'm 65? Absolutely not, and I don't intend to be.'
