Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel marry at private LA ceremony
Developed over time first seen 4 months ago
The 1975's frontman Matty Healy has married American model Gabbriette Bechtel in a private ceremony in Los Angeles, attended by family and close friends including singer Charli XCX. The couple, who announced their engagement in 2024 after nine months of dating, reportedly wed at Madonna's former Hollywood Hills estate. Their relationship began shortly after Healy's brief romance with Taylor Swift ended in 2023, which reportedly inspired several tracks on her album The Tortured Poets Department.
Bechtel, 28, first revealed her engagement ring on Instagram in June 2024, captioning the post "Marrying The 1975 is very brat", a development later confirmed by Healy's mother, Loose Women star Denise Welch. Pre-wedding celebrations included Healy's stag-do, featuring performances by 1975 tribute act The 9075, and Bechtel's Las Vegas hen-do, complete with a mock arrest, fake dollar bills, burlesque star Dita Von Teese and an Elvis impersonator. Bechtel fronts the band Nasty Cherry, formed by Charli XCX, while Healy, 37, leads The 1975, known for hits including Chocolate and Girls and five UK number one albums; the band headlined Glastonbury last year before going on indefinite hiatus from live performances.
