Not all of Taylor Swift‘s fans are likely on board with the idea of a romance between her and Matty Healy after reports that he performed the Nazi salute on stage and had an inappropriate podcast deleted from Spotify.
Still, the rumors about Taylor Swift and the lead singer of The 1975 dating don’t appear to be dying down, no matter what her fans think of him. The likelihood of a relationship between Taylor Swift and Matty Healy increases with each new sighting, which includes concert stops and unverified hidden messages during performances.
The dating rumors came hot and heavy after Swift’s breakup with actor Joe Alwyn after six years of dating. At the time of their separation, a close friend of the former couple told People that their breakup was due to personality differences.
Even though Swift and Healy reportedly dated in 2014, Healy disputed the rumors, calling the relationship no more than a “flirtation.” Since then, the singer has been linked to other industry women, including Halsey, Gabriella Brooks, and FKA Twigs. So, here’s the full lowdown on all of Matty Healy’s alleged and confirmed exes.
Gemma Janes
Many fans of The 1975 believe that “A Change of Heart” is about Gemma Janes, a model, and entrepreneur, originally from the United Kingdom but now based in Paris. Janes, who created Sendb00ks to facilitate exchanges about literature between artists and readers, started dating Healy in January 2013.
The young couple quickly became social media famous for their many PDA-filled selfies. She was Healy’s girlfriend when she appeared in the music video for The 1975’s smash hit “Chocolate.” The couple reportedly broke up in 2014.
Aliana Lohan
Fans were left wondering what was going on in Healy’s love life in 2014 when tabloids reported that Aliana Lohan — an American singer, actress, model, and television personality who is also the younger sister of actress and singer Lindsay Lohan — was having a romantic relationship with the artist.
Around the same time the supposed couple’s relationship rumors began to circulate, Healey was also generating romance rumors with Taylor Swift, which led to some drama in the tabloids and left fans wondering what had transpired between Swift, Lohan, and Healey.
Despite widespread speculation, neither Aliana Lohan nor Matty Healey has addressed the claims of their connection in the media.
Halsey
Halsey — who rose to prominence through her self-released songs on social media — was linked to Matty Healy in 2015 after being spotted at one of The 1975 shows and contributing to the band’s song “Ghosts.” In August of that year, Halsey addressed the dating rumors in an interview with Billboard, 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. 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 f—king mind.”
Although neither Halsey nor Healy has publicly confirmed their relationship, fans speculate that Halsey sings about the supposed romance with Healy on “Colors,” which appears on her 2015 album Badlands.
Gabriella Brooks
The relationship between Healy and model Gabriella Brooks lasted from 2015 to 2019. The model — now dating Liam Hemsworth — reportedly broke up with the artist in August 2019 due to his excessive partying. A source told The Sun that:
“He parties a lot at home when he’s there and Gabby had just had enough. She doesn’t want to lead her life like that.”
During an interview with The Guardian, Healy described his wild lifestyle, saying:
“My 20s was f–king 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 relationship 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.”
FKA Twigs
Matty Healy and FKA Twigs ended their relationship after more than two years. According to rumors, the couple began dating at the close of 2019.
In January 2020, the couple attended RuPaul’s DragCon UK event together. A month later, they went public with their romance by attending the NME Awards as a pair.
The two apparently called off their relationship due to work commitments and the coronavirus pandemic, including the marketing and release of The 1975’s fifth album. There reportedly wasn’t any significant fight, and a source told The Sun:
“Sadly things haven’t worked out. Those around them thought this was going to be it, but it hasn’t been the case. There was no massive row or fallout. When lockdown ended, they both found themselves pulled in different directions with work commitments. The whole thing is still very raw and naturally, she is upset, but she’s got her friends around her who are supporting her.”
Charlotte Briar D’Alessio
In December 2022, shortly before romance rumors about Healy and Swift circulated, he was linked to Charlotte Briar D’Alessio, a Canadian model and social media personality discovered at Coachella. According to a source at the time, the two had been quietly dating for a few weeks and were completely head-over-heels in love. The source said:
“It is early days and they are taking things slowly but it is clear to everyone who knows Matty how keen he is on her. They have been really subtle about being seen together, but backstage at his gigs, Charlotte is often there. Although they haven’t gone public yet, it is only a matter of time.”
Meredith Mickelson
The breakup between The 1975 singer and top American model Meredith Mickelson occurred just weeks before Healy began dating Taylor Swift. A source told The U.S. Sun that Healy, 34, dated Mickelson, 23, while he was in Los Angeles. The source stated:
“Matty was seeing Meredith while he was in LA in February – but things fizzled out when he went to New York at the end of the month. They’re still on good terms but haven’t been romantically involved since then.”
So, whatever the intentions of the couple or the rumors, two potentially eligible superstars are available, and whether romance is in the cards between them remains to be seen. But we got you covered, so we will update as soon as information becomes available.
