Matty Healy's Immediate Family Breaks Silence on His Previous Romance with Taylor Swift
In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, TV presenter Denise Welch, who is also Matty Healy's mother, shared her thoughts on the aftermath of her son's brief relationship with pop sensation Taylor Swift in 2023.
Denise Welch expressed that Matty Healy and his fiancée, model Gabbriette Bechtel, are gorgeous and have moved on from their past. She also mentioned that she has no issues with Taylor Swift and is glad to have "lost" the role of being Swift's mother-in-law.
Welch hinted at a tense balance of power, citing that you are "not allowed to say anything, and then she [Swift] writes a whole album about it," referring to Swift’s 2024 album The Tortured Poets Department. The album is believed to include songs reflecting Swift’s relationship with Healy, with tracks such as "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" and "Guilty as Sin?", "Fresh Out the Slammer," "But Daddy I Love Him", and "I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)" believed to be about Healy.
However, Denise Welch did not discuss any specific details about the episode she referred to. She did mention that Matty Healy has taken his former relationship with Taylor Swift in good grace.
Meanwhile, Swift has moved on as well. She has been in a relationship with NFL star Travis Kelce for two years now. Swift's recent involvement in the Lively v Wayfarer Studios case has kept her in the spotlight, but her relationship with Kelce has remained relatively private.
Taylor Swift is known for her songwriting, and The Tortured Poets Department is no exception. Despite the references to her past relationships, Swift reportedly chose to stay silent to protect Healy and avoid escalating issues after their breakup. The involvement of Healy’s family in confirming their relationship seems limited to public comments like Welch’s, which indirectly acknowledge the connection and hint at the album’s autobiographical elements rather than officially confirming detailed involvement or endorsement related to the album itself.
