Charli XCX marries The 1975 drummer George Daniel after three years together

This year’s biggest pop star was photographed walking through the streets of London before tying the knot with her musician parter.

Pop icon Charli XCX has tied the knot with The 1975 drummer George Daniel in an intimate ceremony after three years together.

The nuptials were held in London yesterday with all of Daniel’s bandmates in attendance, except lead singer Matty Healy, according to a photo agency.

Page Six reached out to Healy’s representative for comment.

“Matty flew directly from the stag celebrations in Ibiza yesterday, to be with his fiancee, Gabbriette (Bechtel) last night in LA where has contractual commitments for her debut move,” a source told Page Six.

Video from the wedding shared on X showed the happy couple as they posed for photos with their family outside of Hackney Town Hall. Only about 20 close friends and loved ones were reportedly present.

Photographers revealed the wedding was so low-key that they were even seen walking to the venue.

In true Charli fashion, footage posted to social media shows the couple smoking a cigarette in their wedding attire behind a large black van.

Charli (whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison) wore a strapless Vivianne Westwood ivory wedding gown and held a bouquet of white flowers in one hand as she placed her other arm around Daniel.

Her new husband stood tall next to her in a black suit and white boutonniere.

Reps for the stars did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The “Girl, so confusing” hit maker, 32, was first romantically linked with Daniel in March 2022 after they were spotted out together in New York City holding hands.

At the time, Daniel was said to have been supporting the singer as she made her Saturday Night Live performance debut.

Months later, in June, photos obtained exclusively by Page Six showed the pair getting hot and steamy while on their Italian vacation.

Prior to their romance, they worked together as musical collaborators.

In November 2023, Charli announced she and Daniel, 35, were engaged on Instagram, sharing a slide show of images featuring the lovebirds kissing and one of a diamond ring in a box.

“Charli XCX and George Daniel f**king for life!!!” she captioned the post.

Charli’s record label, Atlantic Records, confirmed the engagement news on X, tweeting, “Major congratulations to @charli_xcx and George Daniel on their engagement.”

The pop star later posted footage from behind-the-scenes of their wedding showing her bridal party dancing to cult noughties song “Like A G6” by Far East Movement.

The Empire State Building’s social media account commented: “The royal wedding,” while Amazon Music wrote: “Hey Charli queen … so … where’s my invitation?”
