In brief
The 1975 singer‑songwriter Matty Healy and model Gabbriette Bechtel married quietly in Los Angeles, holding the ceremony at Madonna’s former estate in the Hollywood Hills. The pair announced their 2024 engagement after a nine‑month courtship and celebrated Saturday with family, close friends and a handful of celebrity guests, including Charli XCX. Bechtel, 28, brought a striking presence with tattoos and a daring “black diamond ring” photo that went viral on Instagram. Healy, 37, has continued to write, record and tour with his band, and the wedding marks a new chapter in his personal life while his music career remains in full swing. The event drew media attention to both their international fanbases and the growing culture of high‑profile, private wedding celebrations.
The 1975 frontman Matty Healy and model Gabbriette Bechtel tied the knot in a quiet Los Angeles ceremony at Madonna’s former estate in the Hollywood Hills, attended by close family, friends and a handful of celebrities such as Charli XCX.
After a nine‑month courtship that began in early 2024, the couple announced their engagement in May and married on Saturday, keeping the ceremony largely private and away from the media spotlight. The wedding was described by the couple’s representatives as a “tight‑knit family affair” and was capped by an intimate exchange of vows in the lush oak‑lined gardens of the Hollywood Hills retreat.
Bechtel, 28, has already made headlines with her tattoos and daring fashion statements, and she gained viral attention in June 2024 when she posted a photo wearing a black “diamond ring” on Instagram. She noted the wedding in fun, somewhat cheeky terms, calling the event a “brat” and showing off a stylish bride look with a black corset.
Healy, 37, meanwhile continues to be the creative force behind The 1975, whose five UK number‑one albums—including the 2020 release *Notes On A Conditional Form* and the 2022 album *Being Funny In A Foreign Language*—have cemented his status as a pop‑rock icon. The band has noted an "indefinite hiatus" from performing live shows, a pause that may be partially attributable to the band’s members’ personal commitments.
The BBC has expressed interest in commenting on the wedding, but as of now no official statements from Healy or Bechtel have been released beyond the couple’s public announcement.
