Matty Healy has stepped into a new chapter of his life, embracing marriage with his partner, Gabbriette Bechtel. Reports confirm that the couple recently exchanged vows.
On Saturday, July 18, renowned entertainment outlets JustJared and Extra featured snapshots of the touching moment when Healy, aged 37, and Bechtel, 28, shared rings at the illustrious Castillo del Lago in the Hollywood Hills. This captivating venue, once home to the iconic Madonna from 1993 to 1997, gained fame as the setting of the 1963 horror classic House of the Damned.
In the photos, Healy cut a striking figure in a sleek black tuxedo, while Bechtel embodied bridal grace in a classic white gown, complete with a flowing veil. The couple’s tender exchange concluded with a passionate dip and kiss, as they sealed their vows with affection.
Adding star power to their wedding, JustJared disclosed a guest list brimming with celebrities. Among those in attendance were Charli XCX and her spouse, The 1975’s own band member George Daniel, alongside influencers Anastasia Karanikolaou and Devon Lee Carlson, as well as model Quenlin Blackwell.
The love story of Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel has been brewing over several years. Bechtel, in her 2024 feature for HommeGirls magazine, recounted their journey. The pair longed to meet for four years before finally crossing paths. “He came to L.A., and we’ve been in love ever since,” Bechtel shared, expressing the enduring nature of their connection.
Us Weekly has reached out to Bechtel’s spokesperson for comment.
The reported nuptials followed just two weeks after Healy’s ex, Taylor Swift, tied the knot with NFL star Travis Kelce in a star-studded ceremony at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on July 3. (Another of Healy’s ex-girlfriends, Gabriella Brooks, attended Swift and Kelce’s wedding with fiancé Liam Hemsworth.)
The 1975 frontman and the model went public with their relationship in September 2023. At the time, the couple were spotted kissing while out in New York City.
In May 2024, Bechtel shared a rare glimpse into her romance with Healy, explaining the roots of their connection.
“I think that we just both enjoy good food, honestly,” she told E! News at the time. “He’s taught me a lot about food.”
Bechtel added that the pair “have the same taste in music” and offered some insight into their typical date night.
“The last thing I did was a really good kale salad with pine nuts,” she said of a meal she had recently cooked for Healy. “Parmesan, sexy little skirt steak and I did potato gratin.”
The following month, Bechtel and Healy sparked engagement rumors when she posted a series of Instagram Story photos showing off a large black diamond ring on her left hand.
“MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT,” Bechtel captioned one of the pictures, referencing Charli XCX’s Brat album. (Charli got engaged to The 1975’s drummer, Daniel, in November 2023, and Bechtel’s photos appeared to be taken during Charli’s Brooklyn concert.)
The 1975’s Matty Healy has dated several A-listers over the years. Healy reconnected with Taylor Swift following her April 2023 split from Joe Alwyn, nine years after the singers were initially linked in 2014. “They’re looking to give things a second chance,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2023 of Healy and Swift. […]
Although Healy did not comment on the speculation at the time, he reposted Bechtel’s Instagram Story.
Healy’s mother, Denise Welch, ultimately confirmed the engagement during a June 2024 episode of ITV’s Loose Women.
“I woke up this morning to the fact that they put it on Instagram,” she said. “Instagram official! He’s got engaged to Gabriella Bechtel, Gabbriette she’s known as.”
Welch noted that Healy procured a custom-made “black diamond” ring for Bechtel.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled,” she continued. “She’s from Los Angeles, she’s absolutely gorgeous. She does have a [pet] rat. … Anyway, we couldn’t be happier. She is everything that I would want in a daughter-in-law, and so I’m thrilled.”
Taylor Swift moved on with Matty Healy following her split from Joe Alwyn, but the duo’s relationship fizzled out as quickly as it began. Swift dated Alwyn for six years before Us Weekly confirmed their breakup in April 2023. One month later, the pop star was linked to Healy, the lead singer of The 1975. […]
In July 2024, Bechtel hinted at her plans to start a family with Healy in the future.
“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 British Vogue at the time.
Bechtel also gushed over Healy after receiving a phone call from him during her interview.
“I love being in love,” she raved. “When I thought that I was in love before it was just me being a person of service to somebody else.”
Prior to his relationship with Bechtel, Healy made headlines for his whirlwind romance with Swift in 2023. He was also previously linked to Halsey in 2015, Brooks from 2015 to 2019 and FKA Twigs from 2020 to 2022.
