Matty Healy, the 1975 frontman, married model-musician Gabbriette Bechtel on Saturday (July 18) in a private ceremony at Castillo del Lago, the Madonna former mansion in Los Angeles.
“Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel were married yesterday at a private ceremony in Los Angeles, attended by their family and close friends.”
People quoted the couple’s representatives saying, "Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel were married yesterday at a private ceremony in Los Angeles, attended by their family and close friends."
Billboard said the outdoor ceremony took place at the Spanish Colonial Revival estate in the Hollywood Hills, where Healy, 37, and Bechtel, 28, exchanged vows and celebrated with a celebrity-packed guest list.
The guest list included Charli XCX and her husband George Daniel, along with Anastasia Karanikolaou, Fai Khadra, Alex Consani, Devon Lee Carlson, Duke Nicholson, Sydney Lynn Carlson, Tyrell Hampton, Alex O’Connor and Quenlin Blackwell.
E! News placed the nuptials at Castillo del Lago in Los Angeles, describing Healy dipping his wife at the altar before planting a kiss as the couple sealed their vows.
Celebrity Guests, Media Frames
Coverage of the wedding emphasized the star-studded guest list, with Page Six naming Charli xcx and her husband George Daniel, and listing Anastasia Karanikolaou, Fai Khadra, Alex Consani, Devon Lee Carlson and her fiancé Duke Nicholson, plus Sydney Lynn Carlson, Tyrell Hampton, Alex O’Connor and Quenlin Blackwell.
Complex highlighted that the ceremony took place at Castillo del Lago, and noted that Healy and Bechtel exchanged vows outdoors overlooking Los Angeles before celebrating with a guest list that included Charli XCX and George Daniel.
Complex also tied the wedding to Healy’s earlier public profile, saying the romance with Taylor Swift "became one of the year's most polarizing celebrity stories".
In a different framing, InStyle described Bechtel’s look as gothic, saying she embraced her "penchant for gothic fashion" in a Victorian-coded drop waist gown with a shredded, shipwreck-esque tiered design.
E! News connected the timing to Swift’s own wedding, noting that Healy and Bechtel’s nuptials came two weeks after Swift married Travis Kelce at New York’s Madison Square Garden on July 3.
What Comes Next
Beyond the ceremony, People said Healy celebrated his bachelor party in Malibu with The 9075, where he sang "The Sound" onstage alongside the tribute band.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled. We couldn’t be happier — she is everything I would want in a daughter-in-law.”
People also reported that Healy’s mother, Denise Welch, said on Tom’s Hirschsprung’s Podcast that the wedding was set for July and described her excitement: "I couldn’t be more thrilled. We couldn’t be happier — she is everything I would want in a daughter-in-law."
InStyle pointed to Bechtel’s earlier comments about future plans, quoting her: "When I have kids, it’s going to be: dinner every night—no phones—to celebrate the smaller things and recognise people’s happiness," as she discussed what she wants after the wedding.
The Sun tied the wedding’s public moment to a specific timeline, saying the ceremony was under the Hollywood sign at exactly 7pm and that a source said, "Matty and Gabbriette’s wedding is going to be far glitzier than fans probably expected."
Billboard added that Healy and Bechtel began dating in September 2023 and that their engagement was announced in June 2024 after Bechtel shared a photo of a black gemstone ring on her left hand.
