The news was further confirmed on Wednesday by Healy’s mother, actress Denise Welch, during an appearance on “Loose Women.” Welch expressed her joy, stating, “Now that it’s official… he’s got engaged to Gabriella Bechtel — Gabbriette, she’s known as. Black diamond; he had it made for her.” She added, “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.”

However, Taylor Swift, who dated Healy prior to his relationship with Bechtel, has voiced her concerns about the rapid progression of their engagement. In a candid statement, Swift commented, “Matty Healy is moving too fast, and I fear it’s going to end in heartbreak soon.” She expressed her apprehension about the pace of their relationship, suggesting that such swift engagements often face significant challenges.

Swift also took the opportunity to clarify her own relationship status with current boyfriend, NFL star Travis Kelce. “I haven’t even thought about getting engaged,” she stated, emphasizing that she is taking a more measured approach to her relationship.

Matty Healy, 35, and Gabbriette Bechtel, 26, have been publicly linked since September, when they were first spotted sharing affectionate moments. Healy confirmed their relationship shortly after, and Bechtel later shared in an interview with HommeGirls, “He came to L.A. and we’ve been in love ever since.”

As the news of the engagement continues to spread, fans are eagerly watching how these developments unfold. Taylor Swift’s comments add an intriguing dimension to the narrative, highlighting the complexities of moving on and finding new love in the public eye.
