Charli XCX Marries George Daniel in True Brat Style

It’s official, pop rebel Charli XCX has tied the knot with George Daniel, drummer of The 1975, in what might be the most Gen Z wedding announcement to date.

The couple was spotted outside Hackney Town Hall this past weekend, dressed to wed: Charli in a minimalist off-the-shoulder white gown with her trademark wraparound sunnies, and Daniel looking sharp in a suit and tie. But it wasn’t until her TikTok, posted hours later, that fans got confirmation: the Brat era has a new chapter.

A Soft Launch Wedding, Charli Style

In the viral clip, the singer struts away from the camera with a faux-annoyed stomp, as on-screen text reads: “When George isn’t crying when he sees me walking down the aisle.” Her caption sets the record straight: “Luckily he did xx.”

That TikTok alone pulled in more than seven million views, with comments overflowing with “Mr and Mrs XCX” celebrations. A second post, showing Daniel wearing Charli’s veil, was hailed as “bridal party energy,” a mood that fans and fashion blogs immediately jumped on.

The pair’s choice of Hackney Town Hall suggests an intimate ceremony, with no visible paparazzi, press frenzy, or red carpet distractions. In classic Charli fashion, it was private, performative, and wildly online, just how her fans like it.

From Studio to Aisle

Charli and George have kept their relationship relatively public since 2022, first sharing the studio and then the spotlight. Their creative partnership began with the track Spinning and deepened on Brat, with Daniel co-producing and co-writing two of its standout songs.

He even made a viral cameo at one of her London tour stops this year, dancing onscreen during the now-iconic Apple routine in front of a screaming crowd.

Their shared creative chemistry has long been adored by fans, so the marriage announcement landed not just as a sweet moment but as a full-circle milestone in pop’s current golden couple narrative.

The 1975’s George Daniel: More Than Just the Drummer

While Daniel is best known as the rhythmic backbone of The 1975, the band behind hits like Chocolate and The Sound, he’s also carved a name as a solo producer in recent years. His move from drummer to co-producer on Brat was seen as a bold and celebrated cross-genre moment.

And while frontman Matty Healy usually grabs headlines, George Daniel has always had a quieter star power. Now? He’s half of pop’s coolest couple, and the internet is here for it.

Public Reactions and Fan Frenzy

Social media didn’t just react; it erupted. “Charli married her co-producer king, and I’m crying,” wrote one fan on X. Another simply called it “the only wedding that matters this year.”

TikTok creators have already begun remixing the veil moment and editing fan cams. As one user joked, “Charli XCX said no to a Vogue exclusive and yes to a viral soft launch. That’s art.”

For many, it wasn’t just about romance. It was the fusion of modern pop, creative intimacy, and a little bit of bratty drama that made this moment land the way it did.
