Matt Healyโ€™s Mom Denise Welch Shades Taylor Swift


Taylor Swift never married Matt Healy โ€” and his mom is relieved about that.

โ€œNot being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost,โ€ Denise Welch, who is Matt Healyโ€™s mom, told Andy Cohen on a July 24 episode of โ€œWatch What Happens Live.โ€

Welch spoke up after Cohen asked, โ€œMs. 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 โ€œThe 1975โ€) never confirmed they were dating, fans suspect their 2023 connection inspired Swiftโ€™s latest album, โ€œThe Tortured Poets Department.โ€

โ€œNot that I have anything against her at all,โ€ Welch said of Swift after the โ€œWatch What Happens Live” audience took a sharp breath.

โ€œIt was just, you know, it was tricky,โ€ added Welch. โ€œListen โ€” youโ€™re 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 โ€œgorgeous,โ€ adding, โ€œWeโ€™ve moved on.โ€

In 2024, Matt proposed to musician-model Gabbriette Bechtel, which Welch shared on the British talk show โ€œLoose Women.โ€

โ€œI couldnโ€™t 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 Healyโ€™s romantic timeline

Taylor Swift met the English rocker for the first time in 2014, as previously reported by TODAY.com.

โ€œI met Taylor Swift, that was really nice,โ€ Matt told an Australian radio host, via E! News. โ€œWe exchanged numbers. Letโ€™s see what happens.โ€

When the host speculated whether Swift and Healy would date each other, Healy responded, โ€œI mean bloody hell, what am I going to do? Go out with Taylor Swift? Sheโ€™s a sensation, I wouldnโ€™t say no.โ€

Rumors that Swift and Healy were dating arose in 2023, when Swift performed at โ€œThe 1975โ€ London concert.

At the concert, Welch posted an Instagram photo of herself and Swift, writing, โ€œOh what a night at a sold out 02. So proud I canโ€™t even begin!!โ€

In June 2023, a โ€œsourceโ€ told People that Swift and Matt had broken up.
