Taylor Swift's ex and The 1975's lead singer Matty Healy is engaged to model and musician Gabriette Bechtel. The news was confirmed by Matty’s mum and Loose Women panellist Denise Welch during Wednesday’s (June 12) show.
The newly engaged couple also broke the news to fans on social media with a string of pictures of Gabriette wearing the large black ring. Sharing more details about the ring on the ITV show, Denise revealed the sparkler was a black diamond.
She says Matty had the ring custom-made for his fiancée. The singer is said to have paid thousands for the 'extremely rare' piece of jewellery.
Denise told viewers: "I have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged. They went over to see their friends Charli and George in New York. I woke up this morning to the fact they’ve put it on Instagram."
To mark the moment, Gabriette showed off the ring on her left hand in a post on Instagram. She said: "Marrying The 1975 is very brat." She also tagged Healy into her post under his username, Trumanblack.
Many people have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the unique ring, as many people have been left divided b y its appearance. On X, a user called Arthur wrote: "I think Matty Healy engagement ring to her lady is beautiful."
Esra, who seems to be a fan of The 1975, commented on the geometric design of the ring. They put: "We all know how much the box means to matty and now he’s customised a box shaped ring for his girl this is perfect."
However, Mor didn't hold back and said: "That Matty Healy engagement ring is uglyyyy." Emily also spoke strongly of the ring, adding: "That engagement ring Matty Healy used is ugly as f***."
Matty and Gabriette began dating in September last year. They got together a few months after The 1975 frontman is said to have dated Taylor Swift - for about a month in April.
The pair saw each other following Swift’s split from her long term boyfriend, British actor Joe Alwyn. Since September 2023, Swift has been in a relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Travis Kelce.
