A statement from the couple’s representatives said: “Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel were married yesterday at a private ceremony in Los Angeles, attended by their family and close friends.”
Healy and Bechtel were first romantically linked in 2023 and announced their engagement in June 2024.
Bechtel sparked speculation when she shared a picture of a large black ring on her finger, writing: “Marrying The 1975 is very brat.”
Welch confirmed the engagement the following day on Loose Women.
“I obviously have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged,” she said.
“We couldn’t be happier. She is everything I would want in a daughter-in-law. I’m thrilled.”
