The 1975 frontman Matty Healy and his girlfriend Gabbriette Bechtel appear to have gotten engaged, with Matty seemingly confirming it.
The couple, who got together last year, appear to have taken the next step in their relationship, with Gabbriette first announcing the news as she shared an Instagram story showing off a black diamond engagement ring on her left hand.
Sharing a snap of the ring with her 814,000 followers she wrote: "Marrying the 1975 is very brat @trumanblack" alluding to an album by Charli XCX.

Whilst Matty has yet to share his own announcement of the news, he later reposted the story from Gabbriette to his own social media account seemingly confirming the engagement.
The posts appear to have sent fans into a frenzy, with many fan accounts quickly resharing the Instagram stories from the pair.
Writing on Twitter/X, one person shared: "I feel like Matty Healy getting engaged just shifted something in my universe."
