2014: Ali Lohan
Yes, Lohan as in Lindsay Lohan's little sis. There were unverified rumors about Matty and Ali dating back in 2014 (around the same time there were unverified rumors that he and Taylor Swift were into each other), but again—they were never confirmed.
2014—2015: Halsey
Believe it or not, some of us lived through this in real-time via Tumblr—and it was a wild ride. For the sake of keeping things short and sweet, Halsey and Matty were linked in 2014, and their debut EP, Room 93, was reportedly named after a hotel room they shared with him during their time together. Fans have theorized that much of Halsey's album Badlands, including the track, "Colors," was inspired by Matty with lyrics like:
"Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so / You said your mother only smiled on her TV show."
The latter likely references Matty's mom, Denise Welch, as she's starred in the show Loose Women since 1999. Over the course of their relationship, Halsey would allegedly pen poetry and essays inspired by Matty on Tumblr, and the pair would regularly post pics together.

During an interview with Billboard in 2015, Halsey vaguely spoke about a past relationship, saying, "We're both attracted to characters, and we saw that in each other. I spent a lot of time watching him, and he spent a lot of time loving being watched," they explained. "But if you think he's the first red-wine-drinking, pretty-boy rocker in skinny jeans I've been associated with, you're out of your fucking mind."
2015—2019: Gabriella Brooks
Matty and Gabriella reportedly dated from 2015 to 2019. In an interview with The Guardian (who said they split in summer ’19), Matty said, “My 20s was fucking chaos and I didn’t live a domestic life so there are lots of things I’ve just not learned. I’m not emotionally very mature. There have been times when it does damage my relationships and I ask myself: ‘Why do I value my career so much?’ I’m trying to relinquish that idea. I want to have a period in my life when I’m not conflicted about it.”
2019—2022: FKA Twigs
Matty and FKA Twigs allegedly started dating around 2019 but were said to have broken up in summer 2022 due to scheduling conflicts. A source told The Sun, "There was no massive row or fallout. When lockdown ended they both found themselves pulled in different directions with work commitments."
2022: Charlotte Briar D’Alessio
Nearly six months after he ended things with Twigs, Matty was linked to Canadian model Charlotte Briar D’Alessio. "Matty and Charlotte have been quietly dating for a number of weeks and are head over heels for each other," a source told The Sun at the time. "They have been really subtle about being seen together, but backstage at his gigs, Charlotte is often there." The nature of their 'ship was never confirmed publicly, probably because he started hanging out with...
2023: Taylor Swift
After six years together, Taylor broke up with Joe Alwyn in April 2023 and reportedly started seeing Matty shortly after. The pair met in 2014, when dating rumors between them originally circulated, but they weren't romantically linked until May 2023. According to Entertainment Tonight, "Taylor and Matty have been hanging out recently, and Jack Antonoff reconnected them."
After Matty's controversies began resurfacing (including some... questionable comments about Ice Spice), they seemed to call things off in June 2023.
2023—RN: Gabbriette Bechtel
Gabbriette Bechtel—who simply goes by the mononym, Gabbriette, btw—is the latest lady in Matty's love life. The model and musician have been linked since September 2023, when they were photographed smooching and strolling through Soho and Washington Square Park in NYC. Since then, they've attended New York Fashion Week events together and Gabbriette has been seen backstage at The 1975's shows. In February 2024, the Daily Mail reported that Matty introduced Gabbriette to his parents during a family night out to see his mom Denise Welch's play, The Gap.
