The 1975 frontman Matty Healy has officially tied the knot. On Saturday, July 18, 2026, the 37-year-old singer married model and musician Gabbriette Bechtel, 28, in a private outdoor ceremony at Castillo del Lago — the iconic Spanish Colonial Revival mansion in the Hollywood Hills once owned by Madonna and sitting in the shadow of the Hollywood sign.
Representatives for the couple confirmed the news to People: “Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel were married yesterday at a private ceremony in Los Angeles, attended by their family and close friends.”
A Dreamy, Private “I Do”
Photos from the day show the newlyweds sharing a kiss at the altar. Healy looked sharp in a classic black tuxedo with bow tie, while Bechtel made a striking bridal statement in a custom white gown by the Parisian label Matières Fécales. The theatrical design featured long sleeves, a drop waist, and a full floor-length skirt with distinctive shredded tulle details that felt perfectly in line with her signature gothic-glam aesthetic. She completed the look with a traditional veil and her hair styled half-up, half-down.
The venue choice added an extra layer of Hollywood magic. Castillo del Lago, with its historic glamour and sweeping views, provided the perfect backdrop for a couple known for doing things their own way.
How They Got Here
Healy and Bechtel were first linked in September 2023 after being spotted kissing in New York City. Their connection reportedly began with a little help from mutual friends Charli XCX and The 1975 drummer George Daniel (who are now married themselves). Charli had hand-picked Bechtel for her short-lived band Nasty Cherry years earlier, and friends had been trying to introduce the pair for a long time before sparks finally flew.
They announced their engagement on June 11, 2024, after attending Charli XCX’s Brat show in Brooklyn. Bechtel shared Instagram Stories of her unique black diamond engagement ring with pavé diamonds, captioning one image “MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT” — a playful nod to Charli and George’s own engagement.
An insider previously described their relationship as “serious and intense from day one,” noting that the couple likes to do things on their own terms. Bechtel has said simply, “He came to L.A. and we’ve been in love ever since.”
Healy’s mother, actress Denise Welch, has been openly supportive. She previously called Bechtel “everything I would want in a daughter-in-law” and revealed earlier this year that she was “very excited” about the July wedding plans.
Star-Studded Guest List and Pre-Wedding Fun
The intimate guest list included close friends and industry names such as Charli XCX and George Daniel, The 1975 bandmates Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann (with his wife Carly), Anastasia Karanikolaou, Fai Khadra, Alex Consani, Devon Lee Carlson and her fiancé Duke Nicholson, Sydney Lynn Carlson, Tyrell Hampton, Alex O’Connor, and Quenlin Blackwell.
Before the big day, Healy celebrated with a bachelor party in Malibu that included a performance of “The Sound” alongside a The 1975 cover band, complete with era-specific outfits and even a ginger wig nod to one of his old looks. Bechtel had her own bachelorette celebrations, staying true to the couple’s low-key yet stylish approach.
The Timing Everyone Is Talking About
The wedding comes just two weeks after Healy’s high-profile ex, Taylor Swift, married Travis Kelce in a massive ceremony at Madison Square Garden. While the two events are unrelated, the proximity has fueled plenty of online conversation and side-by-side comparisons across social media and entertainment sites.
Fans of both artists have largely kept the focus positive, celebrating two separate love stories rather than digging up old drama. Still, the timing added an extra layer of intrigue to an already starry Hollywood weekend.
Social Media Reactions
As soon as the news and photos broke, social media lit up with congratulations. Fans of The 1975 celebrated their frontman’s new chapter, while admirers of Bechtel’s modeling and music career praised her unique bridal look. Many commented on how the couple’s aesthetic — artistic, slightly unconventional, and deeply personal — felt like a perfect match for a wedding that prioritized intimacy over spectacle.
Bechtel’s earlier comments about wedding planning also resurfaced, including her advice to “let your fiancé think that they’re helping” while she handled the rest, and her reminder that a wedding is “a celebration, not a performance… about love — and looking hot — but mainly about love.”
What This Means for Matty and Gabbriette
For Healy, this marks a settled, private new chapter after years of intense public scrutiny. For Bechtel, whose career spans modeling, music (Nasty Cherry), and acting, the wedding feels like a full-circle moment with the friends who first brought them together.
Their story is a reminder that some of the most interesting Hollywood romances unfold away from the biggest stages — even when the venue happens to be a former Madonna estate under the Hollywood sign.
Congratulations to the newlyweds. We can’t wait to see what this next era looks like for Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel.
