Liam Gallagher's sweet response to snap of son Gene with ex Nicole Appleton's baby

Liam Gallagher has broken his silence on ex wife Nicole Appleton's child by leaving a very sweet message on her latest Instagram picture.

The star's son Gen, who he shares with Nicole, posted a picture to Instagram with his baby sister Skipper.

19-year-old Gene, who has the famous Gallagher brows, shared a selfie with his adorable sibling as she snoozed in her pink coat.

"Me and Skip," wrote the proud big brother as the caption.

A host of famous faces immediately started replying, including many of Nicole's showbiz pals.

Holly Willoughby wrote: "My heart" followed by a string of red heart emois.

While former X Factor host Kate Thorton replied: "Well that's put a huge smile on my face."

And among the celebs leaving comments, Gene's rock star dad Liam piped up with: "Beautiful."

Liam and Nicole endured a painful split in 2014 after it was revealed the Oasis frontman had fathered a secret child with journalist Liza Ghorbani.

His youngest daughter Gemma is now six years old.

Addressing the messy end to his marriage in an interview with the Daily Telegraph, Liam said: "The stuff that happened was my own doing. S**t happens, and I apologise. I've hurt a lot of people, but that's life."

He added: "The divorce is all done, and we move on.'

As well as Gene, Liam is also dad to Lennon, from his first marriage to Patsy Kensit, and Molly, who was conceived during a fling with singer Lisa Moorish.

He is now engaged to Debbie Gwyther, who he credits for 'saving him.'

While his ex wife Nicole is now happily loved up with Facebook executive Stephen Haines.

"Our little girl 'Skipper Hudson Haines' has arrived Stephen & Gene are besotted!!! I'm SOOO HAPPY!!"
