On 18 July, Matty Healy, frontman of the 1975, married model Gabbriette Bechtel. The couple wed at Madonna's former home, Castillo del Lago, surrounded by A-list guests including Charli XCX, Emily Ratajkowski and model Alex Consani.
Wedding details
According to a source speaking to the Daily Mail, Matty and his band performed for guests after tying the knot in view of the Hollywood sign. A representative for the couple told the publication: "Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel were married yesterday at a private ceremony in Los Angeles, attended by their family and close friends."
The wedding came two weeks after Matty's ex-girlfriend married Travis Kelce in a ceremony at Madison Square Garden.
Matty, 37, and Gabbriette, 28, were first linked in September 2023 after Matty's split from Taylor Swift in June. They announced their engagement in 2024 after nine months of dating. They are thought to be considering LA as their permanent home rather than North London, as Gabbriette is from Orange County, California.
The Sun reported that Matty and Gabbriette spent more than £100,000 on flights to ensure all their desired guests could attend the wedding in California.
Pre-wedding celebrations
Matty celebrated his stag do with a watch party for England's World Cup match against Norway, then went out with his bandmates. His groomsmen booked a 1975 tribute band, and Matty got up on stage to sing with them. Gabbriette went to Las Vegas for her hen party, posing next to 'Mrs Healy' balloons.
Denise shares her singer son with TV actor Tim Healy, 74. They married in 1988 and have two children, Matty and Louis, 25, but divorced in 2012. Tim has since married Joan Anderton, while Denise married PR manager Lincoln Townley. It was her third marriage, having been married to David Easter before Tim.
