From Britpop Socialite to Menopause Champion
As Oasis takes the stage again after a 16-year hiatus, one face from the heart of the ’90s Britpop scene has reemerged with a new mission: Meg Mathews. Once known as the ultimate London party girl and muse to rock stars, she has reinvented herself as an outspoken advocate for women’s health. On the day Noel Gallagher’s legendary band kicks off their reunion tour, Meg’s journey from wild PR icon to wellness entrepreneur offers a refreshing portrait of personal evolution.
A Rebel Reputation in ’90s London
In the mid-1990s, Meg Mathews was a fixture on the London social circuit. Working as a fashion PR, she rubbed shoulders with the era’s biggest stars—Kate Moss, Johnny Depp and the Gallagher brothers among them. Known for her fearless style, Meg helped define the look of the Britpop movement: low-rise cargo pants, leather jackets and tousled hair. She was equally at ease hosting late-night parties in Soho as she was cruising in a London taxi, the soundtrack of Blur and Pulp blaring on the radio.
A High-Profile Romance and Motherhood
Meg’s personal life captured tabloid headlines when she met Noel Gallagher in 1994. The meeting, arranged by MTV presenter Rebecca de Ruvo, sparked an intense relationship that led to a secret Vegas wedding in 1997. Fashion editors spotted the couple exchanging vows in front of Elvis impersonators, cementing their status as rock’s power duo. In January 2000, they welcomed their daughter, Anaïs Gallagher, who has since become a successful model and photographer.
Yet, as quickly as it began, the marriage unraveled. By 2001, Meg and Noel had parted ways, their four-year union ending amid the pressures of fame and relentless touring schedules. Despite the split, Meg later described their time together as formative: “I wouldn’t trade those years of passion and creativity, even if they were intense,” she told British Vogue in 2019.
Reinvention Through Wellness and Advocacy
Following her exit from the spotlight, Meg underwent a dramatic transformation. Trading late nights for early-morning runs, she adopted a no-alcohol lifestyle and embraced a plant-rich diet. These habits laid the groundwork for her next chapter: championing menopause awareness. In 2020, Meg launched MegsMenopause.com, a digital hub offering reliable information, expert interviews and community forums. Her book, The New Hot, serves as a practical guide, demystifying symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings and insomnia.

Her work has earned praise from health professionals and “menobloggers” alike. Meg frequently partners with menopause specialists, hosting live Q&A sessions and virtual summits that attract thousands of participants. She describes her mission simply: “Menopause is a natural milestone, not a crisis. It’s time to talk openly and find solutions that work.”
Reunion Reflections and Family First
In recent weeks, Meg’s Instagram has lit up with throwback snaps of late-’90s tour buses, backstage embraces and candid studio moments. Fans wondered if her nostalgia hinted at a rekindled romance with Noel. Meg was quick to clarify: “Those memories are precious, but they belong to a different chapter. I’m here as a proud mom and health advocate.”
Family remains central today. Anaïs Gallagher is set to attend the tour opener in Cardiff on July 4th, while Meg will join the crowd at London’s Wembley Stadium on July 25th. Observers see it as symbolic: the mother who once roamed those stages now witnesses her daughter step into the spotlight, stronger and more self-assured than ever.
Style, Substance and Future Endeavors
Despite her shift into wellness, Meg hasn’t abandoned her fashion roots. She curates seasonal collections for ethical lingerie labels and collaborates on limited-edition fitness apparel. Each capsule drop highlights sustainability—organic cotton, recycled fabrics and transparent supply chains. Her style mantra remains clear: “Comfort and confidence go hand in hand.”

- Wellness wear: moisture-wicking yoga leggings with discreet pocket for menopause relief products
- Advocacy merch: proceeds from branded water bottles and tote bags fund menopause research grants
Empowering Women of All Ages
