Taylor Swift's Ex Matty Healy Said to Be Engaged One Year After Breakup
Around a year after his split from superstar Taylor Swift, The 1975 singer Matty Healy, is reportedly engaged to 26-year-old model Gabbriette Bechtel.
While Bechtel was allegedly spotted wearing her engagement ring since last month, the model spotlighted the news when she posted a photo of her left hand at Charli XCX's show for her Brat album in New York City showing off a huge black diamond ring.
She wrote over the photo, "MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY BRAT," and tagged Healy's account. Bechtel also posted a mirror selfie of herself holding up her ring finger with a serious face.
Matty Healy and Gabbriette announced their engagement on Instagram.

Healy's mother, English actress and TV personality Denise Welch, confirmed the big news on Loose Women, a British talk show, saying "Now that it's official ... he's got engaged to Gabriella Bechtel — Gabbriette she's known as."
She praised Bechtel, saying, "I couldn't be more thrilled. We couldn't be happier — she is everything I would want in a daughter-in-law. I'm thrilled."
