Matty Healy’s mother Denise Welch has confirmed her son’s engagement to model Gabbriette Bechtel after a whirlwind romance.
Speaking on her Loose Women show on Wednesday, Denise, who met Gabbriette five months after the romance, gushed: “We couldn’t be happier. “She is everything I would want in a daughter-in-law.
Denise explained that the couple had broken the news to their loved ones “a few weeks ago.”
“I’ve known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged,” she told her co-stars. “They went to see her friends Charli and George in New York.”
‘I woke up this morning and saw they had put it on Instagram. Instagram official, she is engaged to Gabbriette. She’s from Los Angeles, she’s absolutely beautiful,” before strangely adding, “she has a rat.”

The proud mum revealed that Matty had her signature ring made, gushing: “Black diamond, he made it for her and she couldn’t be more excited.”
Gabbriette strongly hinted that she will ‘marry’ the 1975 singer on Tuesday, following their whirlwind nine-month romance.
The singer and model, 26, sparked engagement rumors after she posted a photo on Instagram of her wearing a black diamond ring worth £10,000 on her ring finger.
Adding to the speculation, Gabbriette tagged Matty’s social media account and wrote: ‘MARRYING THE 1975 IS SO B**** @trumanblack’

The couple has been linked since September 2023, following Healy’s split from Taylor Swift in June, when they were spotted enjoying some steamy PDA in New York City.
They are now an official couple and have since made several public appearances together, including during Fashion Week and at the band’s concerts.
Often known as Gabbriette, she was born in Orange County, California, in 1997, eight years younger than Matty.
Although she moved to Los Angeles with dreams of being a ballet dancer, Gabbriette pursued a modeling career after being cast in a Blood Orange music video.

This wasn’t easy, however, as she told Vogue in May 2023 that she spent a lot of time as “a working, unpaid model.”
Since then he has worked with brands such as Diesel, Bottega Veneta and Marc Jacobs.
This is not something she foresaw as a child, adding: ‘Most of the students at my high school were beautiful blonde girls who were strictly white, and my sister and I were Hispanic. They called me some pretty horrible things. But then I learned to laugh about it.
In addition to her modeling activities, Gabbriette shares a taste for the stage with Matty, who was the lead vocalist of the punk rock band Nasty Cherry, a group handpicked by British pop singer Charli XCX in 2018.
