Anais Gallagher reveals the one key piece of advice her famous parents gave her growing up as she poses with fellow Oasis offspring Lennon, Gene and Molly ahead of reunion tour
The duo are getting back together for a string of sold-out shows after a rocky past - the first of which takes place on July 4 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
Ahead of the show the musicians' children have spoken candidly about their upbringings with such famous parents and what they are expecting from the show.
Anaïs, 25, - the daughter of Noel and Meg Mathews - shared the one key piece of advice she took from her parents to keep her grounded while growing up in the spotlight.
She told how when she was a child she had assumed that every kid got the opportunity to do incredible things like being taken to see the Harry Potter film set until her parents firmly spoke to her about it.
Anaïs explained: 'They said, ''You're different, but that doesn't mean you're better than anybody else.'' I think I've kept that in mind throughout my whole life.'
She also said that her mum and dad never put any pressure on her to follow a certain career path or live up to their success in a similar field.
The photographer explained: 'My generation has been told that the sky is the limit and that if you dream big, you can invent an app and become a billionaire.
'But that is such a small fraction of the population. My parents were always like, do whatever makes you happy - you don't need to be this big superstar.'
For the shoot she posed with her three cousins wearing a stylish blue and grey checked outfit.
Elsewhere in the interview her cousin Lennon, 25, - the son of Liam Gallagher and Patsy Kensit - gave some exciting hints about the upcoming shows and what to expect.
He said: 'I can't wait. It's a massive, monumental thing, and it's going to be fantastic.'
The model then joked he was 'pre-preparing his liver now' by drinking a lot of electrolytes ahead of the shows as he plans to go to as many as he can in the UK.
Liam's pregnant daughter Molly Moorish looked stunning for the shoot as she posed in a red leather jacket.
Liam fathered Molly, 27, in 1998 with singer Lisa Moorish - two months into his marriage with Patsy Kensit - but was not involved in her life until 2018.
Gene, 24, meanwhile is the son of Liam and All Saints singer Nicole Appleton.

Toasting 50 years of the Lotus Esprit with... a garden party?
'Dad was always looking forward. He saw what other companies were doing and wanted to raise Lotus's game,' he replies. 'We had gone from the Elan to the Esprit, but this extraordinary car still had (the Elan's) handling characteristics… so you had your foot in both camps.' Wandering around the gathered Esprits gives you a measure of how Lotus sweated the model for all it was worth with, by my reckoning, 22 derivatives produced during its life – possibly even more. As well as the S1s, all the models from different designers are represented – X180 (Peter Stevens), S4 (Julian Thomson) and last-of-line V8 (Russell Carr) – plus special editions like the black and gold Esprit JPS and blue, red and silver Esprit Essex, both referencing Lotus's F1 ties. And what do we find in the manor's swimming pool? Naturally, James Bond's Esprit sub – aka 'Wet Nellie' – from the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me. In fact, it's what looks to be a half-scale model, with the actual full-sized prop at the poolside, in front of the Turbo Esprit from the 1981 Bond film For Your Eyes Only. As I leave the event, heads are turned towards Giugiaro, who is now sitting in an S1 parked next to Lotus's 2024 Theory 1 concept car. In 50 years' time, I only hope that car will prove as influential to Lotus's future as the Esprit was in 1975.

Oasis thank their fans as they close their first gig together in 16 years
Oasis thanked their fans for 'putting up with us over the years', as they closed their first gig together in 16 years. Noel and Liam Gallagher swaggered on to the stage before waving at concertgoers at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday, the first stop on their long-awaited worldwide reunion tour. The brothers, who had not performed together since their dramatic split in 2009, blasted through their setlist, kicking off with Hello, from their second album, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? During the gig, the lead singer apologised to fans for how long it had taken for them to reunite. Liam spoke to the audience several times throughout the set, saying: 'Hello people, it's been too long,' before their third song, (What's the Story). Before launching into Cigarettes And Alcohol, Liam demanded the audience embrace, telling fans to turn around and hug a stranger. He said: 'Right then beautiful people, I want to see you all turn around and put your arms round each other. 'And when the tune starts, jump up and f****** down.' Both brothers made joking references to the dynamic pricing scandal, which caused outrage among fans trying to buy tickets for shows in the UK and Ireland, with some standard tickets appearing to jump from £148 to £355. The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing. After Liam walked off stage following Roll With It, Noel took over singing duties for the first time. He quoted the audience a price the gig was worth, before saying: 'It's just gone up.' Later, Liam said: 'Was it worth the £40,000 you paid for a ticket?' During the final bars of Live Forever, a picture of Diogo Jota, the Liverpool footballer who died in a car accident on Thursday, was displayed, and the crowd cheered and applauded the gesture. As they broke into fan-favourite Champagne Supernova, their final song of the evening, the lead singer said: 'Right you beautiful people, this is it. 'Nice one for putting up with us over the years, we know we've been difficult. 'Champagne Supernova, nice one.' While the brothers shared no banter on stage throughout the gig, they very briefly high-fived and half-hugged each other's shoulders after their closing track. Oasis was supported by fellow 90s group Cast and former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft. Cast, an indie rock band from Liverpool, also paid tribute to Diogo Jota, dedicating their top 10 hit Walkaway to the footballer. Ashcroft said he was 'proud to be here on this historic night', before playing many of his biggest songs, finishing with Bittersweet Symphony. Tens of thousands of fans descended on Cardiff ahead of the gig. The stadium is able to host a maximum of 74,500 people. On Friday afternoon, every pub and bar along St Mary's Street in the Welsh capital was filled with people waiting for the concert to start, with the majority wearing the Britpop band's merchandise. Fans Lachlan Weekes and Jayden Helm, who spent more than a day travelling from Sydney, Australia, to attend the concert, were among them. Mr Weekes said: 'We've been planning it forever. We always said that if they got back together, we'd be at that first show.' Mr Helm said: 'We've been lifelong fans – we're 22 and 21, so haven't really had a chance to see them before. 'We always said it was worth it to come, we wouldn't miss it for the world. To take time off work to come over here, it's more than worth it.' Lawrence Evans, from just outside Swansea, said his 'life changed' when he started listening to the band, as he then started to play music and write songs. He said: 'They were the band that made me realise how much guitar music meant to me.' His son Jimmy said of the concert: 'The fact that it's in Wales is really special for us. 'It's the first time I get to see Oasis, (my dad) he's lost count, he's seen them countless times. 'I've been waiting for this day all my life.' Glenn Moss, an Oasis fan from Essex, who regularly gets mistaken for Liam Gallagher, said he started working as an impersonator before the band's reunion, having previously been against the idea. He said: 'I get stopped all the time – as soon as I got here yesterday four people within five minutes stopped me asking if I was him or for a photo.' The reunion announcement came 15 years after Noel quit the Manchester band, saying he 'simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer', after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. Oasis will visit Manchester's Heaton Park, London's Wembley Stadium, Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park throughout July, August and September. The group will then head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America. A movie, produced by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, is being made in conjunction with the reunion tour. The band was led by lead guitarist Noel and his brother, lead vocalist Liam, during their 18 years together. Oasis signed to independent record label Creation Records in 1993, rising to fame with the release of their debut chart-topping album Definitely Maybe on August 29 1994. Speaking after the concert, Steve from Hertfordshire, said the band were 'F****** wicked', describing them as 'the best band ever'. Steve said he went to see them in 2006 and they had lived up to his expectations, but admitted to having had quite a few beers before the show. Asked for his favourite part, he said: 'The beginning, the middle, and also the end. 'All of it was fantastic, we had a really good time, we've come all the way from Hertfordshire to see them in Wales.' Morgan, 20, from Wales, said: 'It made my life, honestly, I could get hit by a car and die, and I'd have a smile on my face.' Morgan described himself as an Oasis fan from birth, with his father encouraging him to get into them. 'It was unreal, being in that stadium, I'm still shaking, being here tonight is something else.'
