Charli XCX has officially tied the knot with George Daniel, drummer of The 1975, in a quiet yet stylish ceremony at Hackney Town Hall confirming years of romance and artistic collaboration with an unforgettable “Mr and Mrs XCX” moment.
Rumors swirled online after a passerby caught the couple on video outside the iconic East London venue. Charli, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison, looked effortlessly cool in an off-the-shoulder white dress and her trademark wraparound shades. Daniel complemented her look in a classic suit and tie.
Hours later, Charli took to TikTok to confirm the wedding with a characteristically cheeky video captioned, “When George isn’t crying when he sees me walking down the aisle.” But fans were reassured by the follow-up text: “Luckily he did xx.”
The TikTok clip quickly went viral, garnering nearly 4 million views and a flood of well-wishes from fans and fellow artists alike. Another post showed George wearing Charli’s veil in a light-hearted moment that screamed “bridal party energy.”
Charlie XCX and George Daniel Love Story
Charli and George first went public with their relationship in 2022, after fans speculated about their closeness following musical collaborations. Their creative bond was first evident in the single Spinning and grew even stronger during the production of Charli’s chart-topping 2024 album, Brat. Daniel co-wrote and co-produced two tracks on the project, helping shape its gritty, dance-floor-ready aesthetic.
Fans may also remember his surprise appearance in the viral “Apple dance” video at one of Charli’s sold-out London shows, where he appeared on giant screens mid-performance, a nod to their shared sense of humor and showmanship.
From Headliners to Husband and Wife
Charli XCX’s Brat era has seen her skyrocket from alt-pop darling to full-blown pop powerhouse. Her Glastonbury headline slot this past June sealed her status as a global icon. Marrying Daniel feels like a full-circle moment, not just personally, but artistically too.
George Daniel, known for his work with The 1975 and solo music ventures, has long been praised for his production talent. The band’s signature hit Chocolate may have introduced him to the masses, but his work with Charli reveals a deeper, more experimental side.
An Intimate Yet Viral Affair
Despite the low-key ceremony, the wedding captured the internet’s imagination. Fans loved the blend of intimacy and irony, a signature Charli move. There were no lavish paparazzi spreads, just pure, authentic celebration shared through TikTok and Instagram.
As fans continue to celebrate the union of pop’s edgiest couple, it’s clear: Charli and George didn’t just make music together, they made magic. And now, they’ve made it official.
