The 1975 frontman and model Gabbriette Bechtel quietly wed on a Saturday in Los Angeles, a final step in a romance that began only nine months earlier. The wedding was a low‑key affair, held in a private location that is reported to be Madonna’s former estate in the Hollywood Hills.
According to a statement from the couple’s representatives, only family and close friends attended, creating an intimate mood. The event also drew a few high‑profile celebrities, including Charli XCX, who were said to celebrate the new couple with them.
Bechtel, 28, and Healy, 37, made their relationship public after Healy’s brief relationship with Taylor Swift ended in 2023. Fans and media speculate that songs on Taylor Swift’s recent acclaimed albums were inspired by the new bond. Bechtel also made a bold Instagram post in June 2024, flaunting a large black diamond ring and calling her future husband “brat.”
Healy’s mother, Denise Welch—who appears on the reality TV show Loose Women—confirmed the engagement on a podcast. The couple’s busy schedule has meant a slowdown of The 1975’s live performances, with the band now “on indefinite hiatus.”
