The 1975 frontman Matty Healy married model Gabbriette Bechtel on Saturday evening in a ceremony held beneath the iconic Hollywood sign. The event, described as having "old Hollywood glamour," took place at Castillo Del Lago, a 1920s estate formerly owned by Madonna.
Bechtel, 28, wore a traditional white wedding gown with a sweetheart neckline, while Healy, 37, donned a black suit and bow tie. The couple exchanged vows in front of close friends and family, with Healy kissing his bride at 7 p.m. The guest list included model Emily Ratajkowski, singer Charli XCX, and Healy's parents, actress Denise Welch and actor Tim Healy. Welch's close friend, actress Sally Dynevor, also attended, adding a touch of British television royalty to the occasion.
Charli XCX, wife of The 1975 drummer George Daniel, was among the attendees. The wedding's vibe was described by one guest as "all very brat," referencing Charli XCX's Grammy-winning album inspired by Bechtel.
Healy and his bandmates performed for guests at the reception, which continued into the early morning hours. "It had all of the Hollywood glamour without being ostentatious or cringe. It was classic old showbiz, it was beautiful," one guest commented.
The wedding has drawn comparisons to Healy's past relationship with pop superstar Taylor Swift. Sources suggest that Swift, who dated Healy for two months in 2023, might have preferred the "old Hollywood glamour" aesthetic of Saturday's ceremony over her own July 3 wedding to American football player Travis Kelce, which took place at Madison Square Garden.
Some attendees reportedly felt Swift's wedding, which included a large number of guests she barely knew, was less personal and more akin to a large concert venue like the O2 Arena. In contrast, Healy's mother, Denise Welch, reportedly preferred Bechtel to Swift, with friends indicating Welch felt Swift's world was "too mad and unstable" for her son and that she disliked how the intense fan attention impacted Healy.
Bechtel, who previously fronted the punk band Nasty Cherry, met Healy at a concert in Los Angeles. The couple announced their engagement in June 2024, with Healy presenting Bechtel with a custom black diamond ring. Welch had expressed her delight over the engagement, noting her preference for Bechtel as her daughter-in-law.
