Matty Healy<\/strong> <\/a>was worlds away from the action as Taylor Swift<\/strong><\/a> and Travis Kelce<\/strong><\/a> tied the knot<\/a> at New York City\u2019s famed Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n The 1975 frontman, 37, was spotted grabbing lunch with his fianc\u00e9e Gabbriette Bechtel<\/strong> in Los Angeles on Friday, July 3, according to photos published by TMZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n Healy, who was linked to the Tortured Poets Department singer in 2023 shortly after her breakup from Joe Awlyn<\/strong>, was seen walking arm in arm with Bechtel on the same day Swift exchanged vows with Kelce on the opposite side of the country.<\/p>\n The British rocker and Swift were first linked when Swift attended several of his band\u2019s shows in 2014. Healy revealed that he and Swift had \u201cswapped phone numbers\u201d at the time.<\/p>\n Matty Healy\u2019s Mom Confirms His Engagement, Is \u2018Thrilled\u2019 Gabbriette Bechtel Will Join the Family<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI mean, bloody hell, what am I going to do? Go out with Taylor Swift? She\u2019s a sensation. I wouldn\u2019t say no!\u201d he said during a radio interview.<\/p>\n In 2016, Healy caused a stir when he claimed that it would be \u201cemasculating\u201d to date someone more famous than him, name-dropping Swift, in a 2016 interview with Q Magazine.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s just interesting to me how interested the world is about Taylor Swift,\u201d he said. \u201cThe reason I mention that is because if I had [properly] gone out with Taylor Swift, I would\u2019ve been, \u2018F***ing hell, I am not being Taylor Swift\u2019s boyfriend.\u2019 You know, \u2018F***. That.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Taylor Swit and Matty Healy in 2023.<\/span> (Photo by Robert Kamau\/GC Images)<\/span><\/p>\n However, he backtracked the comments during an interview with Elle later that year, alleging his remarks were taken out of context. Healy insisted he was \u201cnot a misogynist\u201d but could be \u201can idiot on occasion.\u201d<\/p>\n He added, \u201cI have said on countless occasions that I found her to be one of the most gracious, hard-working, creatively gifted and beautiful women that I have had the pleasure to meet. I personally have a lot of respect and admiration for her. Why would I not?\u201d<\/p>\n Swift and Healy were linked again in May 2023, but both parties have remained tight-lipped about the exact timeline and nature of their romance. However, their split was confirmed the following month.<\/p>\n Matty Healy Consoles Mom Denise Welch 1 Week After Her Controversial Taylor Swift Comments<\/a><\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
