A statement from the couple\u2019s representatives said: “Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel were married yesterday at a private ceremony in Los Angeles, attended by their family and close friends.”<\/p>\n

Healy and Bechtel were first romantically linked in 2023 and announced their engagement in June 2024.<\/p>\n

Bechtel sparked speculation when she shared a picture of a large black ring on her finger, writing: “Marrying The 1975 is very brat.”<\/p>\n

Welch confirmed the engagement the following day on Loose Women.<\/p>\n

“I obviously have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged,” she said.<\/p>\n

“We couldn\u2019t be happier. She is everything I would want in a daughter-in-law. I\u2019m thrilled.”<\/p>\n
