Rocker in ‘love child’ suit

-

FORMER Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher is being sued for millions in a New York court by a woman who accuses him of fathering a secret love child with her, sources exclusivel­y told Page Six.

The unidentifi­ed woman, who is in her 30s and specialize­s in interviewi­ng celebritie­s, claims she had an affair with the rocker and gave birth to a daughter who is just under a year old. Gallagher’s response to the suit was not immediatel­y known.

The mother is suing Gallagher in Manhattan Family Court for a reported $3 million. Both parties have tried so hard to keep this a secret; a court hearing on Friday before Magistrate Mat

thew Troy was listed under “Anonymous v. Anonymous.” The case was adjourned until later this month.

Gallagher, 40, now frontman for the band Beady Eye, has been married to Canadian singer and actress Nicole Appleton since 2008. He already has three children.

The Sun newspaper on Sunday reported that a married British rock star “is desperatel­y trying to keep his US love child a secret — fearing his wife will dump him.”

The newspaper didn’t name the alleged father “for legal reasons,” but multiple sources have since told Page Six that the “Wonderwall” singer is currently being sued for paternity in the Manhattan court.

The newspaper reports that the woman has requested a $3 million payout. The Sun says the mother is considerin­g undergoing DNA tests to prove her case. Top Manhattan divorce attorneys Raoul

Felder, representi­ng Gallagher, and Bill Beslow, for the unidentifi­ed woman, both declined to comment last night, citing the confidenti­al nature of the case. An agent for Gallagher didn’t get back to us.

Ironically, Gallagher once said he wanted to move his entire family to New York once his children had finished school, and last year he bought a $2.5 million condo in the iconic Essex House at 160 Central Park South.
