Pop star Charli XCX and The 1975 drummer George Daniel tied the knot in a low-key ceremony at Hackney Town Hall in London on July 19, 2025. The couple surprised fans by opting for an intimate wedding instead of the lavish Italian celebration they had previously planned.
Videos and photos shared online showed the newlyweds smiling and kissing on the steps of the town hall, surrounded by confetti and a small group of family and friends. Charli wore a white Vivienne Westwood minidress with a veil and her signature black sunglasses, while George looked sharp in a dark double-breasted suit.
A Private Ceremony With Close Friends and Family
The wedding was much smaller than expected, with only about 20 guests in attendance. Reports confirmed that most of The 1975 band members were there, except frontman Matty Healy, who was reportedly in Los Angeles with his fiancée.
The couple kept the event simple, with no extravagant decorations or long ceremonies. Instead, they focused on celebrating with their closest loved ones.
“Charli and George wanted something personal and relaxed. They walked to the venue with their guests, and the whole vibe was very laid-back,” a source said.
Fans React to the Surprise Wedding
Charli confirmed the news herself in a playful TikTok video, where she pretended to walk away after joking that George didn’t cry when she walked down the aisle. She later added, “luckily he did xx.” The post quickly went viral, amassing 7 million views and thousands of congratulatory messages.
Fans flooded social media with comments like:
“Congrats Mrs and Mr XCX!”
“ConBRATulations!”
“This is the single most important thing since we discovered fire.”
Earlier Plans for a Lavish Italian Wedding
Before the London ceremony, multiple reports suggested the couple would marry in Sicily, Italy, with a six-figure budget and a star-studded guest list. A source had earlier revealed:
“Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there. It’s incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared.”
However, they ultimately chose a more private affair, possibly due to their busy schedules. Charli recently wrapped up her Brat Tour, while George has been working on new music with The 1975.
Their Musical and Romantic Journey
Charli and George first met in 2021 while collaborating on the song “Spinning” and began dating in 2022. They got engaged in November 2023, with Charli sharing a photo of her engagement ring on Instagram with the caption:
“charli xcx and george f***ing for life!!!”
Since then, they’ve worked together on multiple projects, including Charli’s 2024 album Brat, where George co-produced tracks like “Club Classics” and “Apple.”
What’s Next for the Couple?
With the wedding now behind them, Charli is set to focus on her upcoming A24 film and a new project with Japanese director Takashi Miike. Meanwhile, George is expected to continue his work with The 1975, who recently headlined Glastonbury.
Fans can expect more music collaborations from the couple, as Charli once joked:
“I’m actually such a bitch in the studio with George. Because we’re so close, you lose all normal studio boundaries.”
