Matty Healy, the charismatic lead of The 1975, has taken a significant step towards settling down by proposing to his girlfriend, Gabbriette Bechtel. Naturally, the internet is buzzing with opinions and hot takes.

Healy, a certified pop-rock star, has been in the spotlight more than ever recently. This isn’t solely due to his achievements with The 1975, despite their ongoing tour, but also because of his brief, much-publicized romance with pop superstar Taylor Swift and his array of controversial statements. Even after their relationship fizzled out, Healy remained a hot topic online.

After his whirlwind romance with Taylor Swift, Healy moved on, reportedly ghosting her. He’s been dating Gabbriette Bechtel, a model and the lead vocalist of Nasty Cherry. Now, she’s set to become Mrs. Matty Healy, as the singer recently proposed, and she said “yes.”

Rumors about Matty and Gabbriette’s engagement had been swirling for weeks. The model confirmed the news on social media after attending their mutual friend Charli XCX’s Brat show in Brooklyn. “MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT,” she captioned a photo showing off her engagement ring, a striking black gem, while tagging Healy’s Instagram account.

The couple, first linked in September 2023, quickly took their relationship to the next level. In an interview with Homme Girls, Gabbriette shared that she and Healy had been trying to meet for four years. “He came to L.A., and we’ve been in love ever since,” she revealed.

The engagement news prompted a wave of relief among fans, particularly those who were uncomfortable with Healy’s previous relationship with Swift. Some fans expressed their feelings using lyrics from Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, specifically from the track “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus.” The album, rumored to contain several songs about Healy, including “But Daddy I Love Him,” reflects Swift’s response to fan scrutiny over her personal life.

Matty’s mother, Denise Welch, confirmed the engagement on the U.K. talk show Loose Women. “I have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged,” she said. “They went over to see their friends Charli and George in New York, and I woke up this morning to find it on Instagram. Instagram official… he’s got engaged to Gabriella Bechtel — Gabbriette she’s known as. Black diamond; he had it made for her,” she added. “I couldn’t be more thrilled. She is from Los Angeles, she is absolutely gorgeous, and she does have a rat. We couldn’t be happier; she is everything I would want in a daughter-in-law.”

Welch’s comments sparked further reactions online, particularly regarding her unique praise for her future daughter-in-law.

Neither Healy nor Bechtel have publicly elaborated on their engagement, with Matty only resharing Gabbriette’s photo on his Instagram Stories, buried among a series of memes. Nevertheless, congratulations to the happy couple!
