Personal life
Eileen and John Coombes' uncle, Coombes, is the son of John Coombes and Eileen Coombes. His father was a food scientist who loved playing jazz piano, and his mother was an English teacher. Despite being born in England, he and his family lived in San Francisco, California, from the age of 5 to 9, when they returned to Oxford, where they retraced to his birthplace.
At this age, Coombes played classical piano but then switched to playing guitar. He began to attend Wheatley Park School in Holton, Oxfordshire, but was suspended for being 'girly'. Rob's older brother, Nic Goffey, was living with him at the time, and a 13-year-old Gaz Coombes befriended Nic's younger brother, 15-year-old Danny Goffey, for one day on the school's playing fields. Danny Goffey was two years older than Coombes and aided him in "protecting him" from being teased. Goffey relates what happened; "I mean, you couldn't fuck missing him." He was stunning. He grew sideburns and they [other students] gave him a lot of shit, but I was really into him.I think I fancied him a bit, y'know?
He's so pretty. He wasn't quite mature at the time. He was like a puppy. I was just over him and begged him to form a band. I could. I used to be a drummer. "The tallest drummer in the class" is the school's highest drummer.Coombes lived in a Regency townhouse in Brighton, East Sussex, which he first bought in 1999 with his partner Joules Poore and their daughter, Raya May (born 2003). He was compelled to move back into his house in Oxford during 2006, where he had grown up. Corombes and his partner now have a second child, named Tiger (b). The date is May 17th, 2008. Gaz Coombes and his brothers Rob Coombes, Charly Coombes, and Eddie Coombes all own a converted barn in Northern France, which is where the Supergrass album Road to Rouen was filmed.
His three siblings are all interested in music: Rob, the keyboardist and fellow Supergrass player, died on March 20, while Charly and Paris-based Ed (who also plays piano) is the youngest.
He is a Manchester United fan and has appeared on the club's TV channel, MUTV.
