Taylor Swift never married Matt Healy โ and his mom is relieved about that.
โNot being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost,โ Denise Welch, who is Matt Healyโs mom, told Andy Cohen on a July 24 episode of โWatch What Happens Live.โ
Welch spoke up after Cohen asked, โMs. Swift wrote a whole album about their relationship … What was your reaction to that album?โ
Although Swift and Healy (the frontman of the band โThe 1975โ) never confirmed they were dating, fans suspect their 2023 connection inspired Swiftโs latest album, โThe Tortured Poets Department.โ
โNot that I have anything against her at all,โ Welch said of Swift after the โWatch What Happens Live” audience took a sharp breath.
โIt was just, you know, it was tricky,โ added Welch. โListen โ youโre not allowed to say anything and then she writes a whole album about it. But Matty has taken it all in completely good grace. He is very happy with his amazing fiancรฉe Gabbriette.โ

Welch, an actress whose credits include the popular British series “Coronation Street,” told Cohen that her future-daughter-in-law is โgorgeous,โ adding, โWeโve moved on.โ
In 2024, Matt proposed to musician-model Gabbriette Bechtel, which Welch shared on the British talk show โLoose Women.โ
โI couldnโt be more thrilled,โ Welch said at the time.
Taylor Swift has been dating Travis Kelce, a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs football team, since approximately mid-2023.
Taylor Swift and Matt Healyโs romantic timeline
Taylor Swift met the English rocker for the first time in 2014, as previously reported by TODAY.com.
โI met Taylor Swift, that was really nice,โ Matt told an Australian radio host, via E! News. โWe exchanged numbers. Letโs see what happens.โ
When the host speculated whether Swift and Healy would date each other, Healy responded, โI mean bloody hell, what am I going to do? Go out with Taylor Swift? Sheโs a sensation, I wouldnโt say no.โ
Rumors that Swift and Healy were dating arose in 2023, when Swift performed at โThe 1975โ London concert.
At the concert, Welch posted an Instagram photo of herself and Swift, writing, โOh what a night at a sold out 02. So proud I canโt even begin!!โ
In June 2023, a โsourceโ told People that Swift and Matt had broken up.
