If you’ve seen the shots of Lennon Gallagher and Isobel Raymond walking around London, it’s likely you’re wondering what’s going on here. Who exactly is Lennon Gallagher? What’s he all about? And who is Isobel Raymond, the woman he is so often seen with?
Let’s take a look at Lennon’s life from being born into one of the most famous families in British music to what he’s up to now, how he met Isobel, what they’re really like together and a little about his own work, social life and money.
Birth and Family Roots
Lennon Francis Gallagher was born on 13 September 1999. You really can’t get more British rock royalty than his family.
His dad? Liam Gallagher. Yep, that Liam Gallagher. He was the one who lent his voice to Oasis and gave us “Wonderwall,” “Champagne Supernova”, and more attitude than you could shake a mic stand at.
His mum? Patsy Kensit – Actress, 80s pop singer with her band Eighth Wonder. She’s gone from Eighth Wonder to big movies and British soaps.
You can just imagine the headlines when he was born. Even his name is a shoutout to music. Named after John Lennon. No pressure, eh?
Siblings of Lennon Gallagher
He’s not an only child he’s part of a famous (by association) big family with two half-siblings on his dad’s side:
Molly Moorish-Gallagher (born 1998), whose mother is singer Lisa Moorish. Molly had a difficult time growing up, but she reconnected with Liam in 2018 after many years apart. She’s now a model, a campaigner (she’s worked with the likes of Centrepoint and Crohn’s & Colitis UK), and is currently expecting her first child with footballer Nathaniel Phillips.
Gene Gallagher, born in 2001, son of Nicole Appleton of All Saints. He’s joined Lennon in creative pursuits Gene is a model and a musician, the lead singer of indie band Villanelle, who supported Liam on tour with his band.
So, Lennon and Molly and Gene all each carry that Gallagher edge, but they’re going very much in the other direction- Molly with her advocacy and new family, Gene with indie music, and Lennon with modelling, music, and the romance that’s catching everyone’s attention.
Growing Up in the Spotlight
Let’s face it, Lennon didn’t grow up in a particularly quiet manner.
The press loved to track Liam Gallagher’s family. There were paparazzi photos of him as a little kid with that same shaggy cut. But even amidst all that public attention, his family sought to keep some aspects private.
He grew up mostly in London. He wasn’t splashed all over reality TV or hawking his childhood in the tabloids. It’s one of the things people admire about him, he’s famous for who he is, but he’s also retained an element of mystery.
Education
He went to school in London, just like any other kid, even if he had parents with money and power enough to allow him more freedom than most.
He’s never really been one who goes on and on about school in interviews. But you get the impression he wasn’t the kind of guy who would go straight off to uni. He’s previously mentioned that he was always interested in music and fashion.
He seems to have been more interested in getting out there and doing things than sitting in classrooms.
His Modelling Career
This is when a lot of people saw Lennon Gallagher properly for the first time.
He’s also done campaigns for Topman, Saint Laurent, and Lanvin. You have seen him on the runway or in a glossy magazine, and you know he’s got that look. Sharp cheekbones, smouldering eyes, messy hair a 90s Britpop kid all grown up and ready to smoulder for the camera.
He’s no mere legacy act; he’s a far cry from the act of his father, if not in sound or sensibility, then certainly in stature. Fashion people rate him. He’s walked in proper shows, done real editorial work.”
It’s easy to see why brands want him. He has that half-old-school classic rock lineage, half updated street guy look.
Music: Following Dad’s Footsteps (Sort Of)
Lennon is also a member of a band called Automotion, besides doing modelling.
Don’t expect Oasis-style sing-alongs, though. The sound is more post-punk, experimental. More underground club vibe, and less stadium anthem.
It’s pretty clear he doesn’t want to be a carbon copy of Liam. He’s on his own musical journey, and you have to respect it.
Private Life and Romance with Isobel Raymond
And, now, let’s get to the part everyone enjoys talking about.
Lennon’s been spotted out in public with Isobel Raymond a lot recently. She’s a model and artist herself, very cool, London indie-girl style.
They don’t scream about their love on social media, which is actually kind of refreshing. But they’ve been seen at gigs, art shows and fashion events. Forever the sort of stylish couple you want to hate on but can’t, because they just seem so genuinely happy; that energy is so infectious.
They’re both creative, both in the fashion world, both a little cowed by the camera in their own way. Feels like a good match.
People say they look like one of those couples who would hang out around Soho drinking Guinness from half pints and talking about obscure bands. Fair play to them.
Social Media Presence
Yes, he’s on Instagram, but no, he does not post daily selfies or hawk teeth-whitening kits.
His feed is moody black-and-white shots, slivers of music, arty photos. He’s not acting as an influencer. He just lends you a window into his world without ever revealing too much.
Isobel is also online, but with the same feel. Style, creative but not all over you. Occasionally, they appear in each other’s photos, but they’re not working on a couple of brand deals together.
Net Worth
People love to guess about this stuff, don’t they?
Rock-star millions is still a ways off for him, but he’s doing all right. Big fashion campaigns pay well.
Throw in his band work and the fact that he’s the offspring of Liam Gallagher, worth £50+ million, and Lennon’s hardly on the breadline.
He was thought to be in the hundreds of thousands, £200k, say, to £400k. Plenty for an OK flat in London (well, perhaps a small one these days), just not enough to retire at the age of 24.
He is not here to make a quick buck, as the focus is more on pursuing a career than showing off the loot.
Final Thoughts
Lennon Gallagher could have taken the easy route. Reality TV. Selling out. Leaning entirely on his surname.
But he didn’t. He’s chosen modelling jobs with genuine integrity. Launched a band that sounds nothing like Oasis 2.0.
And his love affair with Isobel Raymond? Seems solid. Two creative people out here doing their thing together, and without feeling the need to tell the whole world every detail about it.
He is a Gallagher, all right but his Gallagher. And you kind of get the feeling that’s exactly how he wants it.
