Nordoff and Robbins is the UK’s largest music therapy charity, with the O2 Silver Clefs Lunch working to raise money for those it supports. 

Matty’s outing comes after his mother Denise Welch confirmed his engagement to singer Gabbriette Bechtel. 

The couple, who have been dating since September 2023, are yet to publicly confirm they are to marry, but Denise, 66, revealed she has known of engagement ‘for a few weeks’.

The musician proposed to Gabbriette with a huge black diamond ring worth £10,000.

The day after Denise confirmed the happy news on Loose Women, Gabbriette heavily hinted she would be marrying the singer with an Instagram post.

She took to the platform to share a photo of carousel of photos, the first of which showed her putting a middle finger up, giving followers a clear shot of the gorgeous ring for the first time.

On Loose Women, Denise shared: ‘We couldn’t be happier. She is everything I would want in a daughter-in-law.’

Denise, who met Gabbriette five months into the model and Matty’s relationship, explained that she had been keeping the couple’s secret for a while.

‘I have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged,’ she told her co-stars. ‘They went over to see their friends Charli [xcx] and George in New York.’

‘I woke up this morning to the fact they’ve put it on Instagram. Instagram official, he has got engaged to Gabbriette. She is from Los Angeles, she is absolutely gorgeous,’ before bizarrely adding: ‘She does have a rat.’

The proud mother said of the ring: ‘Black diamond, he had it made for her and I couldn’t be more thrilled.’ 

Matty and Gabbriette began dating shortly after his whirlwind romance with Taylor Swift that June, and they were spotted enjoying a steamy PDA in New York City.

They have since made several public appearances together, including during Fashion Week and at several The 1975 concerts.

Often known mononymously as Gabbriette, the star is the lead singer of Nasty Cherry, created by Charli XCX.

She started her career as a ballerina but fell into modelling after being cast in a Blood Orange music video.

In 2023, Gabbriette admitted to Tish Weinstock for Vogue that she was an ‘unpaid, hard-working model for a very long time’.

Gabbriette has since modelled for high-end fashion brands such as Diesel, Bottega Veneta and Marc Jacobs.
