On July 19, 2025, British pop star Charli XCX married her longtime partner George Daniel, who is the drummer of the band The 1975.

The relatively quiet ceremony took place at Hackney Town Hall, London. The couple has been publicly together since 2022. They tied the knot in front of close friends, family, and bandmates.

Charli, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, opted for a mini Vivienne Westwood wedding dress. She wore a white off-the-shoulder mini dress with a corseted bodice and draped skirt. She matched it with a veil, statement ring, white slingback pumps, and relatively minimal makeup. George Daniel kept things relatively simple, opting for a double-breasted suit and a boutonnière.

With only about 20 people present, including her parents and Daniel's bandmates, Adam Hann and Ross MacDonald, the event was held in a low-key manner. However, frontman Matty Healy was notably missing. He was reportedly in Los Angeles with fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel.


Who is George Daniel?

George Bedford Daniel was born on March 23, 1990. He is best known as the drummer and co-producer of British band The 1975. Daniel has been with the group since its early days at Wilmslow High School, when he replaced frontman Matty Healy as the band's original drummer.

The 1975 was formed officially in 2002. It has since grown into one of the UK's most influential modern bands. The band has earned Brit Awards, Ivor Novello Awards, and Mercury Prize nominations. George Daniel played a key role in their production process alongside Healy.

In addition to his work with The 1975, George Daniel has also built a reputation as a producer and collaborator. He has worked with a range of artists, including Beabadoobee, PinkPantheress, Carly Rae Jepsen, and The Japanese House. In 2024, he also released his debut solo single, "Screen Cleaner."

George and Charli first crossed professional paths before getting romantically involved. They were photographed together at the 2019 GQ Awards. However, their relationship was not made public until 2022 when they were spotted holding hands in New York City.

George Daniel co-produced multiple tracks on Charli's recent albums, including "In the City," "Apple," and "Club Classics." By November 2023, Charli XCX confirmed their engagement via Instagram. She shared an image of an engagement ring placed on a tea tray. Her label, Atlantic Records, later confirmed the news on social media.

The two were seen kissing on the steps of the town hall. Charli later posted a video on TikTok saying George Daniel teared up upon seeing her walk down the aisle.
