    Lisa Moorish has called out the "twisted narrative" that has surrounded her relationship with ex-lover Liam Gallagher

    The 53-year-old musician had a romance with the Oasis singer in the late 1990s and they had a daughter, Molly Moorish-Gallagher, together


    Molly, now 27, was born on 26 March 1998, and Lisa insists she has had to endure false claims about the nature of her relationship with the Some Might Say singer - who was married to actress Patsy Kensit from April 1997 until their divorce in 2000.

    Appearing on Best's Suddenly Single podcast, Lisa said: "There's a lot of hate I get from the tabloid press specifically ... [They went along] with this sort of twisted narrative of my relationship with my daughter's father back then.

    "Once the media write about you in a certain way, it sticks. And people tend to just keep going with that.

    "So it's very frustrating because on one hand, I don't give a damn what anybody thinks about me. It's none of their business.

    "But it's also frustrating if you're trying to, sort of, release an album or talk about what you're doing in your creative life, and that's something from 28 years ago, and also without the facts."

    Lisa first met Liam, 52, in 1993, although she was friends with his older brother and Oasis bandmate Noel Gallagher first.

    The former Kill City singer describes Noel, 58, as being like "family" to her and a friend whom she cherishes to this day.

    She said: "I met Molly's dad in the early '90s, I think it was '93, actually it was Noel who I met first. People are a bit Marmite with Noel. In the public domain with the rock star thing people see what they see and they think what they think, fair enough. He's a friend and he's family to me and he's a very good man. I love him dearly.

    "Liam was actually dating a friend of mine. Just dating. It wasn't anything that serious. And that's how I met those guys. And I worked with them."

    Liam and Molly have grown very close in the past several years and the song Now That I've Found You - which features on his 2019 solo album Why Me? Why Not. - is inspired by his daughter and is dedicated to her.

    Lisa is adamant that she and Liam - who is currently on the Oasis Live '25 reunion tour - get on fine, as they are in each other's lives due to Molly.

    She said: "I didn't see [Liam] for quite a long time ... We've both had different relationships since then, but we don't not get on."

    Lisa also has a son, Astile Doherty, with Libertines frontman Pete Doherty, whose friendship she has always valued despite their romantic relationship ending.

    She said: "I love Pete in so many ways as a friend and someone that was much more in my life and my son's life."

    But Lisa insists her days of dating rock stars are definitely over.

    She explained: "One of my big problems always was that I was a little Florence Nightingale. The rehab for broken boys is now closed for good. Instead of thinking, Liam did this or Pete did that, in the last 10 years I've started to look at who I'm ending up with. You can only change things if you look at yourself. When you have self-esteem issues, you don't make the greatest picks in relationships, and don't realise it's you that needs fixing and sorting out."

    Lisa is currently writing a book about her life that will document her hedonistic days in the 1990s.

    She said: "I've written the first chapter of a book and so it will be said once and once only and that will be that. But it's not about that. There's a whole tapestry of my life."
