Denise Welch has said she will “never forget” her son Matty Healy’s wedding.
The 1975 frontman, 37, married American model Gabbriette, 28, on Saturday in Los Angeles.
The Loose Women panellist, 68, shared photos from the wedding, which was attended by several celebrity guests including Healy’s close friend Charli XCX, presenter Nick Grimshaw and Coronation Street star Sally Dynevor.
In a tribute, Welch wrote: “To see my eldest son marry the most beautiful, funny, crazy girl under the Hollywood sign was a night I’ll never forget.
“They are made for each other.
“I kept looking around and couldn’t believe so many of our friends and family were all together in Los Angeles celebrating this most magical, beautiful few days watching the love between Matthew and Gabbriette.
Welch also welcomed Gabbriette’s parents, Gary and Chayo, into the family.
She added: “We love our daughter-in-law and our new family @chayobechtel, @gary.bechtel and @marsalsa_.
“I’ll need to do a million reels to capture the fun we all had.”
Welch also shared a photo of herself in the dusky pink dress she wore to the ceremony from Solace London.
Healy was first linked to Gabbriette, whose real name is Gabriella Bechtel, in September 2023, just a few months after his short-lived fling with Taylor Swift.
Gabbriette sparked rumours of their engagement after posting a photo of herself wearing a large black ring on her ring finger on Instagram in June 2024.
Before the wedding, Healy celebrated his impending nuptials with a stag do where he performed with a 1975 tribute band.
Videos circulating on social media show the frontman on stage with the tribute band after they appeared to be hired for the party.
Meanwhile, Gabbriette enjoyed a hen party with friends in Las Vegas.
She shared several photos from the event, including her being handcuffed and carried onto a plane by a man dressed as a police officer.
Gabbriette is the lead vocalist and songwriter of the punk rock band Nasty Cherry, which was formed by Charli XCX, whose husband George Daniel is The 1975’s drummer.
