Matty Healy, frontman of The 1975, and Gabbriette Bechtel, lead vocalist of Nasty Cherry, exchanged vows in a star-studded Los Angeles ceremony.
Denise Welch, Healy's mother, confirmed her presence at the wedding, describing the occasion as unforgettable. She stated, "To see my eldest son marry the most beautiful, funny, crazy girl under the Hollywood sign was a night I’ll never forget."
Welch further added, "They are made for each other," and expressed her joy at the expanded family. She stated, "We love our daughter-in-law and our new family @chayobechtel, @gary.bechtel and @marsalsa_."

Healy and Bechtel were first publicly linked in September 2023. Their engagement was officially announced in 2024, following Healy's brief, high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift.
Gabbriette, an American model, ignited engagement speculation in June 2024. She shared an Instagram photo that prominently featured a large black ring on her ring finger.
The wedding ceremony took place at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, Los Angeles. This venue choice aligns with a trend among high-profile couples opting for iconic, private locations.
The guest list further intertwined with the music industry's elite. The 1975's drummer, George Daniel, is married to Charli XCX, who was among the notable attendees.
Social media videos captured Healy performing on stage with a 1975 tribute band at his stag do. Gabbriette's shared photos depicted her handcuffed and carried onto a plane by a man dressed as a police officer at her hen party.
Kirsten Murray, a Senior Showbusiness Reporter, observed Denise Welch's particularly lively participation throughout the festivities. Murray pointed out that Louis Healy, Matty's brother, bears an uncanny resemblance to the rocker.
Denise Welch expressed profound joy, stating, "I kept looking around and couldn’t believe so many of our friends and family were all together in Los Angeles celebrating this most magical, beautiful few days watching the love between Matthew and Gabbriette."
Claire Sweeney commented on the event, calling it "just beautiful pure class." Ruth Langsford offered, "Absolutely stunning! The happiest of wedding days to Matthew and Gabbriette."
Amanda Holden described the scene as "stunning," and Frankie Bridge declared herself "obsessed." Denise Welch also shared, "My dress for my son Matthew's wedding to Gabriella. The happiest time of my life."
The wedding took place just two weeks after Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding in New York's Madison Square Garden. This period saw significant celebrity unions and intense public scrutiny.
Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel spent over £100,000 on flights. This ensured all desired guests could attend the California wedding.
The couple is now considering Los Angeles as their permanent residence, rather than returning to Healy's North London home. This potential relocation signals a shift in their lifestyle and career base.
