Congratulations are in order: this weekend, Brat superstar Charli XCX tied the knot with her boyfriend, George Daniel, at a ceremony in Hackney Town Hall.
In style, of course. Charli wore a Vivienne Westwood dress and her signature wraparound black shades, seemingly confirming the news via a TikTok video where she joked that George shed a tear when he saw her walking down the aisle.
It was a relatively low-key affair involving what looked to be close friends and family – but still, onlookers were surprised to see that one person in particular didn’t seem to be there.
That would be Matty Healy, the lead singer of The 1975: the band that Daniel is the drummer for.
The pair’s friendship stretches back decades: they’ve been part of the same band for almost twenty years, spending much of that time either writing or touring together.
As it turns out, Healy was in LA, attending a screening for the film I Know What You Did Last Summer – which his fiancee, Gabbriette Bechtel (a model and actor, whom Healy has been dating since September 2023) appears in.
It looks like there was a scheduling clash with the wedding – though this is all speculation, and hasn’t yet been confirmed by any of the parties involved.
However, he wasn’t totally absent from the festivities: according to The Sun, Healy was at Daniel’s stag do earlier this week. That took place in Ibiza, and Healy reportedly flew out on Tuesday
“George has been busy this summer, but his mates were determined to take him on a stag do,” a source reportedly told the Sun.
“He flew to Ibiza for a couple of days for a raucous knees-up with his closest pals – including his bandmates – and party girl Charli was all for it.”
Apparently, after their more low-key nuptials, the pair are planning to tie the knot again in spectacular fashion in Sicily later this year.
“Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever,” Charli told Harper’s Bazaar after the pair announced their engagement in November 2023.
“We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends.”
