During the recording of In It For The Money (1996/7), Goffey moved out of his and Gaz Coombes's house to live in London with his partner, Lowe. This introduced Goffey to Lowe's social circle of celebrities such as Liam Gallagher and Kate Moss, and led to a surge of appearances of him in the tabloids. During this time tensions within Supergrass began to increase, with Goffey often stalling recording of the album in Sawmills Studio, Cornwall by returning to London to record with his second band, Lodger, of which Lowe was also a member. The lyrics for "Going Out" were also causing arguments, as Danny presumed that Gaz had written them about the column inches he and Pearl had been achieving.
After being together for over thirteen years, Goffey and Lowe finally married on 4 December 2008, in a small chapel at Babington House, near their home in Frome, Somerset, where they live with their two sons, Alfie Lennon, Frankie and daughter Betty. They then spent their honeymoon in Tobago, the Caribbean. Lowe was expecting another baby, due in autumn 2010. However, it was announced by Goffey on 19 May 2010 that Lowe had suffered a miscarriage
