Why Matty Healy’s messy era is OVER as our experts reveal the woman behind the shake-up – and it’s not his wife

WE’VE seen the end of Matty Healy’s messy era with his marriage to Gabbriette Bechtel – and it’s all down to another woman. That’s the opinion of The Sun’s Howell Davies, who first met the notoriously chaotic rocker over a decade ago. Our experts have delved into Matty Healy’s life story on Showbiz Fix: Uncut Credit: Getty Matty Healy with famous Loose Women mum Denise Welch Credit: Getty Our experts have delved into The 1975 frontman’s life story on Showbiz Fix: Uncut, looking at his high school days when the band was first formed, through to worldwide success and that relationship with Taylor Swift. But our Associate Bizarre Editor Howell believes his marriage to model Gabbriette last week marks the dawn of a new era – and we’ve got Charli XCX to thank.

Chatting on The Sun’s celebrity vodcast, Howell said: “Matty and Gabrielle got together in 2023 but the fun connection is that Gabbriette is actually really good friends with Charli. “Gabbriette and Charli got to know each other really well on this Netflix show that Charli made where she put together a band called Nasty Cherry and Gabbriette was in this band.

Most read in Showbiz Howell went on: “I think Gabbriette is definitely more approved by Charli than Taylor Swift was, for sure. “It makes a lot more sense for him to be with Gabbriette “Fans love it. You know, they’re sort of this edgy, wild card couple who will always be doing weird stuff. “You know, Gabbriette has a pet rat and you’re like, yeah, that makes sense for Matty.” Matty and Gabbriette married at the historic Castillo del Lago estate in Los Angeles on July 18. It came two weeks after his ex’s wedding – with Taylor marrying Travis Kelce on July 3 in New York. Howell said: “The funny thing about Gabbriette and Matty getting together in 2023, just after his split from Taylor Swift, is it’s almost exactly the same time, almost to the week, that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey got together. “Then, you know, fast forward three years, they’re getting married two weeks apart. “So I think there’s stellar competitiveness between Taylor and Matty.” You can watch the full episode of Showbiz Fix: Uncut on The Sun’s Showbiz YouTube channel, where a new episode drops weekly.
