Noel Gallagher received accolades as Songwriter of the Year at the Brit Awards held at Manchester’s Co-Op Live arena. Cheering him on from the front row was socialite Tori Cook, rather than his longtime girlfriend Sally Mash.

The 58-year-old musician quietly ended his two-year relationship with Mash several months earlier. Sources confirm he has since developed a close bond with the 44-year-old Cook.

Friends of the duo note: “Tori and Noel are getting on really well and are enjoying each other’s company.”

Tori Cook’s Background and Connections

Cook, a publicist, parted ways with her husband of three years, Hugo Heathcote, with whom she shares two daughters. She has known Gallagher for nearly a decade and maintains friendships with his ex-wives, Sara MacDonald and Meg Mathews.

A 2017 vacation photo shows Cook posing with Heathcote, Gallagher, MacDonald, and their children. Gallagher separated from MacDonald six years ago and soon after began dating Mash, a high-society events manager often seen at events with Cook.

Recent Encounters

Cook attended a Brits after-party at Soho House, where she mingled with Gallagher and his 26-year-old daughter Anais over cocktails. Friends describe a strong connection forming between Cook and Anais.

Last year, Cook joined Oasis on tour and appeared in photos from South America, supporting Gallagher from the audience alongside Mash.

Days before news of the breakup surfaced, Gallagher was spotted enjoying retail therapy in London. Images also capture Mash and Cook together at events.

Gallagher and Cook have been approached for comment.
