Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel Marry at Madonna’s Former Estate
The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, 37, and model Gabbriette Bechtel, 28, were married this past Saturday in a star-studded ceremony held at Castillo del Lago, the Spanish Colonial Revival mansion in the Hollywood Hills formerly owned by Madonna.
The couple, who began dating in September 2023, celebrated their union with a wedding that adhered to an old Hollywood glamour dress code. For the ceremony, Healy wore a classic black tuxedo with a corsage pinned to his lapel. Bechtel wore a voluminous white gown featuring a sweetheart neckline, a sculpted bodice, and ruffled long sleeves, finished with a full skirt and an intricately embroidered train, accompanied by a dramatic, diaphanous veil.
A Star-Studded Guest List
The wedding drew a notable crowd of celebrities and industry figures. Among the attendees were Charli xcx and her husband, George Daniel, who serves as Healy’s bandmate in The 1975. Guests leaned into the requested aesthetic, with many opting for monochromatic, gothic-inspired attire.
Other high-profile guests included Anastasia Karanikolaou, Fai Khadra, Alex Consani, and Devon Lee Carlson, who attended with her fiancé, Duke Nicholson. Sydney Lynn Carlson, Tyrell Hampton, Alex O’Connor, and Quenlin Blackwell were also present. The fashion choices reflected the couple’s vision, ranging from vintage Roberto Cavalli prints and beaded flapper-style dresses to sleek black gowns and slip dresses adorned with crystal details.
Pre-Wedding Celebrations
The path to the wedding included several publicized celebrations. In June, Bechtel was seen departing for her bachelorette party in Las Vegas, wearing a vintage Chanel ensemble.
Healy’s own bachelor festivities featured a tribute performance. Footage shared on social media showed the singer performing with “the 9075,” a tribute band dedicated to his own music, at a party in Malibu. During the event, Healy joined the band to perform the track “The Sound.”
The couple’s engagement was confirmed in June 2024 by Healy’s mother, Denise Welch, who stated at the time that she was thrilled for the pair.

Context and Recent Celebrity Nuptials
The announcement of the Healy-Bechtel wedding follows a period of high-profile nuptials within the circle of the frontman’s former romantic interests. On July 3, Healy’s ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift married Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. That ceremony took place at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Healy and Swift had a brief relationship in 2023 following Swift’s breakup with Joe Alwyn. Prior to that, the pair had sparked dating speculation as early as 2014, though Healy stated in a 2015 interview that their early connection was not a serious relationship, dismissing the rumors at the time as a “farce.”
