Brat hitmaker Charli XCX has officially married The 1975’s drummer and co-producer, George Daniel.
The two said their vows in a private ceremony held on Saturday, July 19, at Hackney Town Hall in London. Only their closest family members and a few friends were present, keeping the affair intimate and low-key.
The singer confirmed the news in a lighthearted TikTok clip while dressed in an off-the-shoulder white dress and her signature dark wraparound sunglasses. The video featured on-screen text that read, “When George isn’t crying when he sees me walking down the aisle,” playfully poking fun at the moment.
In the caption, the Grammy winner countered, “luckily he did xx.”

A later post, which included shots of Daniel wearing Charli’s veil, gave “bridal party energy,” according to XCX. The footage from outside Hackney Town Hall suggests the couple had an intimate ceremony.
According to the Sun, the 32-year-old singer wore a £3,300 Vivienne Westwood minidress, a veil and her signature black sunglasses at the ceremony. Daniel wore a dark double-breasted suit.
The two have been public about their relationship for several years and shared engagement photos in 2023. Both were at Glastonbury this year, with the Guardian reviewer Shaad D’Souza giving Charli xcx’s performance five stars, suggesting she is a successor to Kanye West.
They have also worked together multiple times, first collaborating on Charli’s song Spinning and then on Brat, with Daniel named as co-producer and co-writer of two songs.
He also took part in the viral “Apple dance” at one of Charli’s London shows, appearing on the concert’s screens in front of thousands of fans. His band, The 1975, is fronted by singer Matty Healy and is well known for their songs Chocolate and The Sound. Daniel has released several tracks as a solo artist in recent years.
Charli frequently refers to Daniel, 35, on stage and in song. “I wanna dance with George,” she sings on Club Classics, a song co-produced by Daniel. He also co-wrote the song Apple.
Charli’s TikTok post features her strutting into a room wearing the dress, jokingly turning round and leaving. The text says: “when george isn’t crying when he sees me walking down the aisle.”
She adds in a caption: “luckily he did xx.” The soundtrack is Charli xcx’s Girl, So Confusing.
There are thousands of mostly congratulatory messages including: “Congrats Mrs and Mr XCX,” “ConBRATulations,” and “this is the single most important thing since we discovered fire”.
