Charli XCX Weds The 1975’s George Daniel in Intimate London Ceremony
By Zoe Bennett
The facts matter. Here’s what we know so far.
Charli XCX, born Charlotte Emma Aitchison, and George Daniel, drummer and record producer for The 1975, exchanged vows on July 19 at Hackney Town Hall in East London. The couple opted for a low-key ceremony attended by close friends and family, foregoing a lavish celebration in favor of a venue steeped in local charm. Photographs shared on social media show Charli XCX in an off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood gown featuring a corseted bodice and cinched waist. Daniel complemented his bride in a classic black suit paired with a crisp white boutonnière, matching the ivory bouquet Charli carried down the aisle.
Their wedding marks the culmination of a relationship that began in 2021, when the pair first collaborated on the track “Spinning.” Despite the potential challenges of mixing romance with professional life, Charli has praised Daniel’s creative support. In an interview with Rolling Stone UK, she noted that their synergy in the studio helps her push boundaries while he provides “space for people to breathe and be them.” She added that working together on her sixth studio album, Brat, introduced a fresh dynamic to both their personal and professional lives.
The engagement was first hinted at in November 2023 via an Instagram post featuring a tea tray holding a sparkling ring. Charli captioned the photo, “charli xcx and george daniel f–king for life!!!” At that time, Matty Healy, frontman for The 1975, publicly expressed his joy by simply writing, “I cry.” Despite Healy’s absence from the wedding, he remains a close friend and collaborator, celebrating the milestone alongside the couple’s inner circle.
Hackney Town Hall’s historic façade provided a picturesque backdrop for the post-ceremony kiss on its stone steps. Fans watching the celebrants emerge were treated to a moment of signature Charli flair: the newly crowned Grammy nominee slipped on her signature sunglasses before departing the venue. The understated elegance of the ceremony underscores the couple’s desire to let their music and partnership speak louder than any ostentatious display.
This wedding aligns with a surge in high-profile celebrity nuptials this July. Just one day earlier, Yellowstone actor Josh Lucas wed meteorologist Brianna Ruffalo in Vatican City. TikToker Madeleine White and DJ Andrew Fedyk tied the knot in Greece on July 12, while Spice Girls icon Emma Bunton celebrated her London wedding to hairstylist Rory McPhee on July 5. Actress Allison Williams quietly married Horizon Line co-star Alexander Dreymon in June, cementing a summer of intimate and varied celebrity ceremonies.
Looking ahead, Charli XCX and George Daniel are expected to continue blending their personal and professional lives. With Brat set for release and a rumored collaboration on The 1975’s upcoming project, fans have much to anticipate. Whether they’ll follow up their downtown London nuptials with a global tour or collaborative singles remains to be seen.
