The 1975 singer Matty Healy marries model girlfriend Gabbriette Bechtel

Matty Healy, the frontman of The 1975, has married his model and musician girlfriend Gabbriette Bechtel two years after getting engaged – and just weeks after his ex Taylor Swift’s high-profile wedding to Travis Kelce.

While Swift’s wedding took over New York’s Madison Square Garden on Thanksgiving weekend, Healy, 37, and Bechtel, 28, reportedly said “I do” at Los Angeles’ Castillo del Lago, located underneath the Hollywood sign.

Those in attendance included Charli XCX, who is married to The 1975 drummer George Daniel, as well as actor and model Emily Ratajkowski.

Healy, whose band headlined Glastonbury in 2025, is also said to have performed a set with his fellow musicians at the wedding reception. The Independent has contacted Healy and Bechtel for comment.

The 1975 star proposed to gothic fashionista Bechtel with a black diamond ring in June 2024. She debuted the grungy engagement ring in a June 12 post on Instagram, with the caption: “Brat city b****.” The style mogul was seen pouting with black liner smudged under her eyes, as she held her ring finger up for the camera.

Healy’s mother, Denise Welch, confirmed the couple was engaged while speaking on the ITV talk show Loose Women. She admitted Bechtel’s Instagram post came a few weeks after her son’s proposal.

“I have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged,” Welch said. “They went over to see their friends, Charli and George, in New York and I woke up this morning to the fact they’ve put it on Instagram.”

“Black diamond; he had it made for her,” Welch noted of Bechtel’s engagement ring.

According to an interview with Vogue UK, Bechtel wants to have children with Healy – and has already setting some ground rules for the dinner table.

“When I have kids, it’s going to be: dinner every night – no phones – to celebrate the smaller things and recognize people’s happiness,” she told the outlet in July 2024.

Before her relationship with the 1975singer, Bechtel dated Bob Dylan’s grandson, Levi Dylan, in 2020. Elsewhere during her interview with Vogue UK, the gothic fashionista admitted that she’d never truly been in love before.

“I love being in love... When I thought that I was in love before it was just me being a person of service to somebody else,” she told the outlet, adding that her relationship with Healy is true love.

Healy had a brief fling with Swift in 2024 – and even inspired several songs on her record The Tortured Poets Department, including a “diss track” called “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived”.
