Matty’s exit comes after his mother Denise Welch confirmed his engagement to singer Gabbriette Bechtel.
The couple, who have been dating since September 2023, have yet to publicly confirm they are tying the knot, but Denise, 66, revealed she has known about the engagement “for a few weeks.”
The musician proposed to Gabbriette with a huge black diamond ring worth £10,000.
The day after Denise confirmed the happy news on Loose Women, Gabbriette hinted strongly that she would marry the singer with an Instagram post.
She took to the platform to share a photo from a carousel of photos, the first of which showed her holding up her middle finger, giving followers a clear image of the gorgeous ring for the first time.
Speaking on Loose Women, Denise shared: “We couldn’t be happier. She’s everything I would want in a daughter-in-law.”

Denise, who met Gabbriette five months into the model’s relationship with Matty, explained that she had been keeping the couple’s secret for some time.
“I’ve known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged,” she told her co-stars. “They went to see their friends Charli (xcx) and George in New York.”
“I woke up this morning and saw that it had been posted on Instagram. Instagram is official: he’s engaged to Gabbriette. She’s from LA, she’s absolutely gorgeous,” before adding bizarrely: “He has a rat.”
The proud mother said of the ring: ‘It’s a black diamond. She had it made for herself and couldn’t be more excited.’
Matty and Gabbriette began dating shortly after his whirlwind romance with Taylor Swift in June of that year, and were spotted enjoying a passionate display of affection in New York City.
They have since made several public appearances together, including during Fashion Week and at several The 1975 concerts.

Often referred to as Gabbriette, the star is the lead singer of Nasty Cherry, created by Charli XCX.
She began her career as a dancer, but began working as a model after appearing in a music video for Blood Orange.
In 2023, Gabbriette admitted to Tish Weinstock for Fashion who was “a long-time, unpaid, working model.”
Since then, Gabbriette has modeled for high-end fashion brands such as Diesel, Bottega Veneta and Marc Jacobs.
