The 1975's Matty Healy and model Gabriette Bechtel announce engagement after less than a year of dating.
Matty Healy is reportedly "completely blindsided" by ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift's April album, The Tortured Poets Department. [News of Healy's engagement to model Gabriette Bechtel caught the Swifties off guard today. Bechtel and Healy fronted the band The 1975, and their relationship was first reported last September, about three months after Swift and Healy split after a brief romance last June.
Bectel and Healey announced their engagement late last night after attending mutual friend Charli XCX's Brat show in Brooklyn. Bechtel posted a photo of herself wearing a black gemstone engagement ring surrounded by pave diamonds on both the stone and the band, People reports.
"MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT," she captioned the image on social media, tagging Healy's Instagram account in the process.
Further confirming the news, Healy's mother, actress Denise Welch, said on "Loose Women" this morning, "I've known for weeks that Mattie was engaged," and admitted that he had a black diamond made for her. 'I couldn't be more thrilled. 'I couldn't be happier. I am thrilled."
According to People, Bechtel was first spotted wearing the ring in late May.
After first tying the knot about 10 months ago, Bectel revealed that they had been trying to meet for four years before they finally tied the knot: "He came to L.A. and we've been in love ever since," she told Homme Girls, and the couple's favorite activity, ordering takeout and playing Fortnite in bed, she added (not to be confused with Swift's lead single from TTPD, "Fortnite"). Sorry. I had to do that.)
In addition to modeling, Bechtel is known for posting cooking videos on social media, and People reports that she is currently working on a cookbook. Healey just finished the second leg of The 1975's North American tour in support of their latest album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language, and is currently writing for the band's sixth album.
Oh, and what about Healy and Swift (who briefly dated after Swift split from Joe Alwyn in April 2023 after six years together)? He loves the attention [The Tortured Poets Department] has brought to him, [but] he also thinks it's hilarious."
