Liam Gallagher has reportedly taken the next step in his relationship by introducing his girlfriend, Debbie Gwyther, to his mother.
Gallagher 42, reportedly whisked Debbie Gwyther off to Manchester, north England, over the weekend so the couple could spend time with Liam's mother, Peggy.
A friend shared: "The fact Debbie has met the other woman in his life - his mum - shows how serious he is about her."
Debbie, 31, met the ex-Oasis star whilst working on his management team but has since left the job.
Her support has helped him through a "tough 12 months", which saw him divorce from his second wife Nicole Appleton, father a lovechild with an American journalist and the break-up of his band, Beady Eye.
The pal explained to the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Through everything Debbie has been his rock and he is totally in love with her.
"Liam hasn't been working and has a lot on his mind, but Debbie has been helping him deal with it all.
"They're both looking forward to 2015, it will be a fresh start."
Meanwhile, Debbie reportedly bought her boyfriend a "rare" guitar for Christmas and "put a lot of work" into finding the perfect gift.
A source revealed: "Liam has been spending a lot of time playing his guitar recently and Debbie knows how much a rare Gretsch would mean to him.
"It's a US company but there are dealers and private sellers here.
"She's put a lot of work into sourcing the right one for him."
