Noel Fielding, renowned as the host of the Great British Bake Off, has maintained an ageless charm throughout his enduring career. Originating from The Mighty Boosh comedy troupe in the 2000s, his presence on screen has been consistent.
Last May, as he marked a significant birthday milestone, fans were astounded by the seemingly perpetual youthfulness he exudes.
On May 21, Noel Fielding delighted fans by sharing a photo with his Mighty Boosh co-stars, sparking hopes for a reunion.
However, it was his caption that caused a stir, revealing his recent 50th birthday celebration. Amidst astonished reactions, Noel expressed gratitude for reaching “half a century.”
One amazed observer quipped, “50? Whose blood are you drinking?” while another joked, “Happy birthday Noel! Vampires don’t age.” A third admirer exclaimed, “How can you be 50?! So fabulous!”
When not captivating Bake Off audiences with his antics, Noel resides in London, leading a serene life as a devoted partner and father of two.
Before the 50-year-old comedian and TV presenter, Noel Fielding found domestic bliss with long-term girlfriend Lliana Bird, he led a high-profile romantic life filled with rock ‘n’ roll flair.
From rumored relationships with famous rock stars’ daughters to falling for radio DJs and authors, let’s delve into Noel’s most notable love affairs in the limelight and his public remarks about them.
Noel Fielding and radio presenter/writer Lliana Bird have shared a lasting relationship since reportedly falling for each other in 2010, coinciding with Lliana’s appearances in The Mighty Boosh.
Known as the longest-standing female DJ on Xfm/Radio X with 16 years on air, Lliana mirrors Noel’s creative spirit.
Recently, she ventured into children’s literature with her debut book, “Baboo the Unusual Bee,” and co-directed the award-winning short film “Snapshots.” The couple, residing in North London’s Highgate, are parents to two daughters.
In the spring of 2018, Noel Fielding and Lliana Bird welcomed their first child, Dali, paying homage to Noel’s artistic inspiration, Salvador Dalí. Their second daughter, Iggy, arrived in August 2020, completing their joyful family. Liliana shared insights into their home life on Giovanna Fletcher’s Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, praising Noel’s enchanting parenting style.
She described him as a “magical” father who transforms ordinary moments, like breakfast, into whimsical adventures filled with laughter, silly hats, and dancing.
She added:
“Maybe someone else’s kids are going to have a few more spoonfuls of porridge because it’s going to be quicker, they’re eating it properly, and digesting it properly. But, you know, my kids are having a lot of fun.”
In an Instagram post shared to mark Noel’s 50th birthday on May 21, Lliana wrote:
“Babies. We love you more than you’ll ever know. Half a century of the wonder that is you. You’ve made our whole lives, the two most incredible girls in the world because of you. I hate this bull**** posting stuff but baby, you’re so cool. You’re so cool. You’re so. Cool. Xx.”
In 2007, rumors swirled about Noel Fielding’s romantic involvement with Pixie Geldof, daughter of Boomtown Rats frontman Bob Geldof, aged 33. However, Noel has since refuted these claims.
However, despite speculation and claims of them being spotted “canoodling,” Noel has consistently denied any romantic connection, asserting that they were simply friends. Reports resurfaced in 2019, suggesting a split between the pair, with Pixie purportedly ending their “on-off” relationship.
Nonetheless, Noel reiterated his stance on their relationship, emphasizing their friendship during public appearances. Noel said:
“It’s just these things are… like fairytales aren’t they? We’re just friends that’s all, but you can’t be friends in this country without someone booking a church and trying to get you married.”
