Matty Healy couldn’t be more in love.
The 1975 frontman, 35, proposed to his girlfriend,
model Gabbriette Bechtel, with an engagement ring that’s just as unique as they are.

which features a large black diamond at its center,
surrounded by a halo of pavé sontes – on her left hand in photos posted to her social media during a
Charli XCX concert on Tuesday.
“Marrying the 1975 is very brat @trumanblack,” she
captioned a pic showing off the gothic bling, with the
star matching the vibe in a black tube top, matching
choker and dark makeup and nail polish.

be, saying she’s “thrilled” about the news and that
Taylor Swift’s ex-boyfriend had a black diamond ring
“made” for Bechtel.
