The 7lb 5oz boy has been named Donovan Rory MacDonald Gallagher.

Mother and child were doing well at an undisclosed location in London, she added.

It is the first child for the couple but the second for Gallagher, who has a seven-year-old daughter, Anais, by ex-wife Meg Mathews.

Gallagher split from Mathews in 2000 after a three-year marriage and they divorced in January 2001.


Noel ’to meet with producer’ - June 21 2007
Noel Gallagher is apparently meeting up with top producer Dave Sardy this week to start making plans for the next Oasis album.

The 40-year-old will be talking to the music man - whose credits include the Spider-Man 3 and Casino Royale soundtracks and studio collections for Wolfmother and Jet - about the follow-up to Don’t Believe The Truth.

The Oasis singer told the Daily Star: "We start talking about the new album on Friday. I’ve got 17 songs ready, everybody else has three each. F*** knows when it will be out - 2010. Don’t hold your breath."

The 40-year was snapped partying at the Mojo Awards earlier this week with his pregnant girlfriend Sara MacDonald.

He joked the duo had been discussing names for the baby.

"I’m thinking Genghis, Gandhi or Goliath for the kid. Something with a G has got a ring to it," he laughed.


Noel: Music doesn’t mean as much today - June 16 2007
Music doesn’t mean as much as it used to, according to Noel Gallagher.

Oasis are taking part in a Radio 2 programme celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Beatles’ legendary album Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

And Noel told the station: "Music was the only outlet for kids at that time. Now it’s all video games and all-day television. Music doesn’t mean as much today as it did back then.

"At the time that the Beatles were exploding around the world, youth culture was exploding. Youth was in. You can’t compare those days to today."

Oasis will join the likes of Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight and Travis on tomorrow night’s show.

Each band has recorded their own version of a Sgt Pepper track, using the original equipment from the Abbey Road studios.

Oasis chose George Harrison track Within You, Without You.

Noel said of the album: "It’s special for me because I was born on May 29 and it came out on June 1, so when I was being born in St Mary’s, Manchester, it was being played on hospital radio."

He also revealed he was barred from seeing Sir Paul McCartney play a secret gig last week because his girlfriend, Sara MacDonald, is pregnant.

He said: "Funnily enough, I bumped into him that day in Selfridges.

"He was gigging that night but my missus is pregnant so I’m confined to barracks. I was gutted but when your missus is pregnant it’s like you’re pregnant."


Noel to host fancy dress party? - April 17 2007
Noel Gallagher is apparently going to celebrate his 40th birthday in style - by hosting a massive fancy dress party.

The Oasis star has issued invites to the "Tyrants and Despots" bash - and has decided to go as Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, reports The Sun.

A source said: "The party will be totally insane.

"Noel has a brilliant but really dark sense of humour, as his plans show. It’s going to be a mad, mad night."
