Oasis Singer Liam Gallagher Marries Longtime Girlfriend | Liam Gallagher, Rachel Appleton
Happy Valentine's Day, indeed.

Oasis singer Liam Gallagher married his longtime girlfriend, All Saints singer Nicole Appleton, on Thursday, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.

The ceremony took place in London's Westminster Register Office (where, oddly enough, Gallagher also wed his first wife, Patsy Kensit).

According to U.K. music news site NME.com, the wedding was so secret, even Liam's bandmate brother Noel Gallagher was kept in the dark.

The pair – who have been together eight years – have a 6-year-old son, Gene.

Gallagher split from Kensit (with whom he has a son, Lennon) in 2000.

Appleton was previously engaged to British singer Robbie Williams.
