Charli XCX and 1975 drummer George Daniel officially tied the knot this weekend with an intimate ceremony at Hackney Town Hall.
The singer was wearing a Vivienne Westwood mini dress with a traditional veil, Jimmy Choo heels, and her infamous sunnies. Photos and videos were quick to surface on social media on Saturday with captions such as “Mrs and Mr XCX”. The couple plan to have a bigger ceremony in Sicily, Italy where they first met. The Sun reported last month: “Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there. There will be no expense spared.”
After her collaboration on No Rome’s song ‘Spinning’ in 2021, Charli and Daniel started dating in 2022 and announced their engagement in November 2023 whilst working on ‘Brat’ whit his collaboration. In a 2024 interview with Rolling Stones UK, Charli opened up about their relationship saying: “We want to impress each other, and we think we’re both really good, but I’m actually such a b**ch in the studio with George. Because we’re obviously so close, you lose everything in terms of the normal studio boundaries.”
The pop singer shared a couple of TikToks from the party, one seeing her pretending to be annoyed and walking away, captioned: “When George isn’t crying when he sees me walking down the aisle.” But “Luckily he did xx” was the accompanying sentence. A later video, included shots of Daniel wearing his now-wife’s veil, surrounded by friends and captioned “bridal party energy”, by XCX.
The couple’s wedings rings have both been individualy valued as £10k and £15k, with matching wedding bands for both musicians. Laura Taylor from Lorel Diomands told MailOnline: “Charli’s wedding band is where she’s really made it her own. Rather than going for a traditional band to sit next to the solitaire, or even an eternity band like we’re seeing with other celebrities, she’s chosen something much bolder.”
The British power couple both performed at Glastonbury at the begining of the summer, Charli being a headliner as well as The 1975. The Guardian reviewer Shaad D’Souza gave Charli’s performance five stars and wrote: “Despite being a prodigiously talented mainstream songwriter, she has dedicated her career to exploring the most caustic, hallucinatory sounds of the underground, and working out how best to synthesise them with the pleasures of pure pop music.”
The 1975’s performance, was also received with acclaims from The Guardian’s Alexis Petridis, referring to the set as “bold, experimental, occasionally confounding, but ultimately hugely impressive”.
Charli refers to her partner, now husband, on stage and in song. “I wanna dance with George,” she sings on song ‘Club Classics’, a song co-produced by Daniel who also co-wrote the song ‘Apple’.
