On 7 April 1997, Gallagher married actress Patsy Kensit at Marylebone Town Hall. Two months later, he began an affair with singer Lisa Moorish in Los Angeles, and she gave birth to a daughter named Molly on 26 March 1998. Gallagher did not meet Molly until May 2018, after which he expressed hope that he would have a continued presence in her life. Molly would later begin using the surname "Moorish-Gallagher" on her social media profiles. Gallagher and Kensit's son, Lennon Francis Gallagher, was born on 13 September 1999. The couple divorced in 2000. Gallagher's second son, Gene Gallagher, was born to singer Nicole Appleton on 2 July 2001. After being together for nearly eight years, Gallagher and Appleton married on 14 February 2008 at Marylebone Town Hall, the same venue in which he had previously married Kensit.
From 2011 to 2012, Gallagher had an affair with journalist Liza Ghorbani, who gave birth to a daughter named Gemma in January 2013. The affair was publicly revealed five months later, after he had separated from Appleton and started dating his personal assistant Debbie Gwyther, to whom he referred as his "saviour" for helping him return to making music. During this time, he briefly moved to his mother's house in Ireland, and he was divorced from Appleton in April 2014. Whilst on holiday on the Amalfi Coast in August 2019, Gallagher proposed to Gwyther. The couple intended to marry in Italy in summer 2020, but Gallagher announced in June 2020 that the wedding had been postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Relationship with Noel Gallagher
During Oasis's American tour in 1994, Liam frequently changed the words of Noel's songs so that they were offensive to both Americans and Noel. In September 1994, Oasis played at Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles. The day of the show Oasis had been using methamphetamine that they believed was cocaine. The band made several mistakes and tensions arose on stage between Liam and Noel, eventually leading to Liam hitting Noel in the head with his tambourine. After the show, Noel shortly left the tour and went to San Francisco.
During the 1995 recording sessions for Morning Glory?, the brothers had a fight when Liam invited everyone from a local pub back to the studio while Noel was trying to work, culminating in Noel hitting Liam over the head with a cricket bat. Noel later described this event as "possibly the biggest fight we ever had".
In August 1996, after a record-breaking pair of shows at Knebworth, tension mounted between the Gallaghers when Liam backed out of Oasis's MTV Unplugged set minutes before it was due to start. Noel was forced to fill in at the last minute. Liam said that he had been struck down with a "sore throat" and that he does not like performing acoustically, though Noel has claimed he was hungover. Noel was further angered when Liam heckled him from the balcony while the band performed. Four days after, Noel was again forced to fill in for Liam on the first show of their American tour, when Liam refused to travel to America with the rest of the band claiming he needed time to buy a house. He was back on stage with Oasis for their next show three days later in Detroit. Tension between Noel and the rest of the band mounted and Noel left the tour, causing several media outlets to question the future of the band.
While on tour in Barcelona in May 2000, Oasis were forced to cancel a show when drummer Alan White's arm seized up; the band spent the night drinking instead. During the night Liam made a derogatory comment about Noel's wife, Meg Mathews , leading to a fight. Following this, a press release was put out declaring that Noel had decided to quit overseas touring with Oasis. The rest of the band, with guitarist Matt Deighton replacing Noel, played the remaining dates. Noel eventually returned for the British and Irish legs of the tour; at the first of these shows the brothers shook hands after the song "Acquiesce".
In 2009, prior to the group's break, Noel characterized Liam as "rude, arrogant, intimidating and lazy. He's the angriest man you'll ever meet. He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup". The final straw for the band came at Rock En Seine in Paris, when an altercation between the brothers prior to their performance resulted in the destruction of Noel's guitar and saw him announce his departure from the group. Liam later claimed he "messed the first one up" when questioned about his 2019 MTV Unplugged performance and has since claimed he missed the show because he "accidentally got drunk again"..
Liam has stated he does not speak much with Noel and that they "don't really have a relationship". During the final tour, the only time that they ever spoke directly was when onstage. Noel would later reveal that while they were in Oasis, the two "never hung out together outside of the band, ever". Since the band's split, the only direct contact they have had with each other has consisted of exchanging text messages at Christmas; Liam also invited Noel to his wedding, which is scheduled to take place in 2021, but does not believe Noel will attend. Despite their constant fighting, the Gallaghers showed mutual affection before, during, and after their time in Oasis. Liam often calls Noel the best songwriter in the world, while Noel frequently calls Liam "cooler" than himself and praises Liam's good looks. Noel has said that Oasis came down to the relationship between him and Liam. Weeks prior to this, Noel said Liam was "obsessed with him", leading Liam to allege the same thing about Noel.
