Matty Healy, the frontman of The 1975, and his fiancée, model Gabbriette Bechtel, are reportedly set to marry this weekend in a high-profile ceremony in Hollywood. The couple, who announced their engagement in 2024 after a nine-month relationship, are said to be planning a celebration at a renowned Los Angeles location. Sources indicate that while initial plans may have leaned towards a more private affair, the wedding is now expected to be a lavish event. Potential venues considered included the celebrity hotspot Chateau Marmont or even Madonna's former residence.
Healy's mother, Denise Welch, and his father, Tim Healy, have reportedly traveled to the U.S. for pre-wedding preparations. Guests are expected to include members of The 1975, as well as artists like Charli XCX and former radio personality Nick Grimshaw. Denise Welch has shared social media posts from gatherings with Healy's friends, including Grimshaw and his partner.
Bechtel recently held her bachelorette party in Las Vegas, documented on social media with bridal-themed attire, including a white bejeweled bra and matching pants, later transitioning to a boucle suit and a white suit jacket with a skirt. Her party included custom T-shirts and large balloons bearing "Mrs. Healy." The couple has reportedly allocated over $100,000 for flights to bring their close friends and family to California for the celebrations, aiming to make the event memorable for all attendees.
The engagement followed a whirlwind romance, with Healy and Bechtel first linked in September 2023. Healy proposed to Bechtel with a custom-made black diamond ring. Bechtel first sparked engagement rumors by posting a photo of herself wearing a dark diamond ring on her wedding finger, accompanied by a social media caption hinting at marriage to the frontman of The 1975. Denise Welch confirmed the engagement on the television show "Loose Women," expressing her happiness with Bechtel as her future daughter-in-law and noting that the couple had shared the news with loved ones weeks prior to the public announcement on Instagram. She described the ring as a "black diamond" that Healy had custom-made for Bechtel.
