ALISON BOSHOFF: She calls him her rock. So what WILL Mrs G make of her boorish husband's new paternity wrangle? Liam Gallagher's favourite trick is to jingle the dog leads in the corridor of the Hampstead home he shares with wife Nicole Appleton and croon "Walkies, walkies" to his two dachshunds and labrador, before sitting back down in his chair. That this usually sends the dogs into a frenzy of wild barking and frustration amuses him. "I like winding me dogs up," he shrugs. He adds: "I like winding me kids up, I like winding me mum up, I like winding me missus up." Well, claims that he fathered a love child during a one-night stand should certainly have succeeded in winding his wife up. Claims have recently emerged that rock star Liam Gallagher has fathered a love child during a one-night stand Happy couple? Those close to Gallagher are questioning whether the recent claims of his infidelity will do for his current marriage with Nicole Appleton what they did for his previous marriage with Patsy Kensit Not only that, but as it was infidelity which did for his previous marriage to actress Patsy Kensit, those close to Gallagher are questioning whether it will do the same to his current union with Miss Appleton. Until now, she has claimed to be so sure of her husband's loyalty that she likes to call him her "rock." She says that he is always there for her and constantly insists that he's "so normal." In this assessment, you can't help but feel that she might be a little wide of the mark. For Mancunian rock star Gallagher - whether he turns out to have fathered a love child or not - is certainly not a regular chap. Indeed, he has a defiant fondness for causing a trouble. Only 40, his life story is littered with punch-ups, drug taking, lawsuits, children out of wedlock (two, and counting), and a turbulent relationship with brother and bandmate Noel. Although he has said that he no longer takes cocaine, there are few signs that Gallagher has ceased his hell-raising habits as he approaches middle age. Only a couple of weeks ago, he was asked to leave a pub in London's salubrious Hampstead after he tried to ride the dog of a fellow drinker. He was extremely drunk, having been downing Jack Daniel's and Coke most of the afternoon. Only 40, Liam Gallagher's life story is littered with punch-ups, drug taking, lawsuits, children out of wedlock (two, and counting), and a turbulent relationship with brother and bandmate Noel A week previously, bar staff at The Queens pub in Crouch End declined to serve him tequila on the grounds that he was already grossly inebriated. His appetite for women seems equally voracious. At the height of his fame in the mid-nineties, Gallagher began a relationship with Miss Kensit, then married to Simple Minds singer Jim Kerr. At the same time, Gallagher had a fling with model Kate Moss, whom he met on a night out. Miss Kensit was annoyed enough to aim a karate kick at his car when she heard he was two-timing her. Despite this, he and Miss Kensit were married in 1997. But just a week after their wedding he slept with singer Lisa Moorish - and got her pregnant. Miss Moorish, with whom he'd been in a secret on-and-off romance for two years, at first kept quiet about the parentage of the baby, Molly, now 15. Just a week after Liam and Patsy Kensit's (pictured) wedding, Gallagher slept with singer Lisa Moorish - and got her pregnant Gallagher's coterie managed to keep the truth from Miss Kensit, who went on to have Lennon, now 13, with the rocker. As a token for her silence, Gallagher paid Miss Moorish £2,000 a month to care for Molly, but has never met the child. Gallagher claims that his absence was for the best where Molly is concerned. "She knows where I am and I'm there for her if she needs anything, like I have been since she was born, financially," he said. But Miss Moorish, who has tried to keep a dignified silence, is sceptical about Gallagher's claim that he is a "top dad." When Miss Kensit eventually found out about Miss Moorish, in 2004, she said bitterly: "When I was pregnant he was paying her to keep quiet. Everyone was lying to me about it. That's what the whole marriage was about - lying. And just as the marriage to Miss Kensit was limping to a close, Gallagher was caught in a hotel room in the early hours of the morning with New York socialite Ivy Silberstein. She explained, insouciantly, that she had simply been measuring him for a hat. He and Miss Kensit divorced soon afterwards, in September 2000. Months later he started a romance with Miss Appleton, who had previously been engaged to former Take That singer Robbie Williams. Gallagher called her the "best girl," his best friend and the best mother in the world. The couple, who have a 12-year-old son, Gene, married at a register office in central London in 2008. Publicly, Gallagher has made light of the challenges of staying faithful - saying fidelity is easy if you are in love with your partner. But the fact that he now appears to be a "4x4" - having four children by four different women - tells its own story. He is estimated to have spent at least £20,000 on lawyers in an attempt to keep his alleged new love child secret. This must have put the rock star under considerable strain, but his wife apparently didn't suspect a thing. The claims of one of Miss Appleton's former boyfriends, Travis Fimmel, that she was dim to the point of being "boring" is one, uncharitable, explanation. Gallagher called Nicole the 'best girl', his best friend and the best mother in the world. The couple, who have a 12-year-old son, Gene, married at a register office in central London in 2008 A friend of Nicole's, seen here with Liam and their son Gene in 2004, says she has never suspected her husband of cheating, even last year when he bought a two-bedroom apartment in New York In general, she seems to follow the mantra of all successful rock wives - giving her husband his space, and playing the rock chick when the occasion demands. She is believed to be in Ibiza with Gallagher, who was due to perform on the island last night with his band. A friend says she has never suspected her husband of cheating, even last year when he bought a two-bedroom apartment in New York, where his alleged love child is being raised. The friend said: "Nicole will be completely stunned, but I can see her getting over it and getting on with it. They are very happy together in their own way, and this may not change anything. She cannot, after all, have been under any illusions about Gallagher and his predilection for getting into trouble. Gallagher admits he lives with a kind of heightened intensity. I live for now, not for what happens after I die. If I die and there's something afterwards, I'm going to hell, not heaven. As he said in an interview last month: "It's all going to end at some point. And when it ends, you want to make sure you've ticked all the boxes. No matter, it seems, what chaos ensues as a result.
