Noel Gallagher says 'insane' women have put him off dating after split from wife of 12 years

Noel Gallagher has revealed he's been put off dating and moving on from his ex-wife Sara MacDonald because the women he meets are "insane".

The former Oasis star, 55, split from his wife after 12 years in January.

Speaking about his current love life, he recently said in an interview: "Dating, I’m not sure about that. The women that I meet are absolutely f***ing insane."

Opening up on his future plans, Noel explained he plans to move back to London and buy a new home.

"I’m getting a new house. When this tour is done, which will be some time in 2024 I’ll be back in London and get into the routine of a new life which I’m looking forward to," he revealed on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast.

"It’s been a turbulent few years to say the least. But I’m old enough now to know that all things must pass and eventually things will calm down and I’ll be back cruising again."

Noel addressed his split last month explaining that he and his wife "grew tired of each other" which he added wasn't unusual for couples in their 50s.

The singer's new High Flying Birds album Council Skies was created as his marriage to Sara fell apart.

Noel revealed his Dead To The World ballad on the album is about him trying to save his relationship.

The track includes the words: "And if you say so, I'll bend over backwards for love," which Noel later confirmed was about Sara: "Yeah, that was written in the middle of a relationship breakdown."

Noel shares two sons Donovan, 15, and Sonny, 12, with his second ex-wife and his daughter Anaïs, 23, with his first ex-wife Meg Matthews.

The former Oasis singer met Sara, a Scottish publicist at Ibiza nightclub Space in 2000, a year before his divorce from his first wife.

Sara and Noel were married in 2011 in a £60,000 ceremony at the Lime Wood Hotel in the New Forest.

Noel's younger brother Liam Gallagher was not invited to the wedding with the latter famously clashing with Sara and his brother.
