Is Charli XCX married and who is her musician partner George Daniel?
Charli XCX is believed to be marrying The 1975 drummer George Daniel this summer after the pair got engaged in 2023. But who is her husband-to-be?
Charli XCX is currently enjoying a golden period, having started 2025 with three Grammy and five BRIT Awards, as well as a string of hits from her sixth studio album, Brat. The hugely successful album has taken the music industry by storm.
The singer, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, is not only basking in the glory of her professional success but also has reason to celebrate in her personal life. She is reportedly set to marry The 1975 drummer George Daniel later in the summer.
Charli has been in a relationship with the musician since 2022, and the couple got engaged in November 2023. The Boom Clap singer announced her engagement news on Instagram, flaunting her sparkling diamond ring in a post that has since been removed.
Earlier this year, a report revealed several details about the couple's speculated Italian wedding, leading fans to believe that the singer may have already walked down the aisle or is very close to doing so.
Who is Charli XCX's partner?
Born in Brussels, Belgium in 1990, George was raised in Seattle in the US, with Fleetwood Mac being one of his early musical influences. George started playing the drums at school before heading off to college to study music production, reports the Mirror.
The drummer of the 1975 has been a part of the pop rock band since 2002. Back then, they were an emo music group known as Drive Like I Do.
George stepped in to replace the band's popular frontman Matty Healy on drums, while Taylor Swift's former flame was promoted to lead vocalist.
Their relationship timeline
Charli XCX and George reportedly first crossed paths at an awards ceremony back in 2019. They were spotted posing together for several photos, along with other attendees.
Two years later, the musicians collaborated on the No Rome track Spinning, which was released in 2021. They teamed up again for Charli's 2022 album Crash and have continued to work together ever since.
Charli XCX publicly confirmed her relationship with George in May 2022 and announced their engagement in November 2023. Since then, George has served as Charli's muse, inspiring songs on her chart-topping album Brat particularly her track Talk Talk.
Fans also speculate that her songs Welcome to My Island (Remix) and Everything Is Romantic were influenced by the drummer. George teamed up with Charli for several hits on her Brat album, including 'In the City', 'Club Classics', and 'Apple'.
Besides Brat, he's worked his magic on a raft of Charli XCX anthems, like the 'Welcome to My Island' remix of Caroline Polachek's song, as well as collaborations with No Rome and The 1975.
He also produced 'Hot Girl' from the 'Bodies Bodies Bodies' soundtrack and multiple tracks on her record 'Crash'. Charli XCX opened up about George's impact on her music in a 2023 chinwag with The Sun.
She divulged: "Now that I'm in a relationship with another musician, he's influenced me a lot with his process and how he and his band work. It's really different to how I work, and that has definitely influenced me and my process."
Is there wedding bells for Charli XCX?
Chatter among devotees suggesting the couple may have already walked down the aisle has been buzzing for some time, with the buzz growing louder by the day.
While earlier reports claimed the two had secretly said 'I do' in Slovakia's Bratislava this past January 2024, fresh whispers told by The Sun now hint at an Italian do for the duo.
A source divulged to the media outlet: "Charli and George both love Italy and it holds a special place in their hearts so they decided that's where they want to get married. They've found a venue that they think is perfect for their unique style of wedding, which won't exactly be traditional. The main aim is to have everyone they love come together and obviously there are plenty of people who are desperate for an invite."
Stars such as Troye Sivan and Robyn, along with George's bandmate Matty Healy are among those anticipated to grace the upcoming nuptials.
Regarding marriage, Charli has been quoted in the past: "Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever. We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends. That's what we're aiming for wedding-wise."
While musical sensation Charli XCX may be blissfully entwined in a romantic chapter of her life, she indicates her passion for music seems to be waning. She hinted to The Sun that a new album might not be on the horizon anytime soon: "It's probably no music for a while... quite a while. I also want to act now. I'm already there and thinking about that stuff a little bit more."

Huge chart-topping singer 'becomes latest star to sign up for Celebrity Great British Bake Off' alongside Molly-Mae Hague and JoJo Siwa
One of the UK's biggest singers has reportedly joined the next series of Celebrity Bake Off. Rag 'N' Bone man, 40, who rose to fame with hits like Human and Giant, is set to swap the mic for a mixing bowl when filming kicks off later this year for the upcoming Stand Up To Cancer special. A source told The Sun: 'He's really excited about getting in the tent - he can't wait for his son to see him baking on TV! 'He's watched the show - now he's ready to impress the judges'. MailOnline has contacted representatives of Rag 'N' Bone Man for comment. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Rag 'N' Bone man, who rose to fame with hits like Human and Giant, is set to swap the mic for a mixing bowl when filming kicks off later this year for the upcoming Stand Up To Cancer special The hitmaker whose real name is Rory Graham, previously revealed that Bake Off was the only reality show he would sign up for, after admitting he was actually a dab hand in the kitchen. During lockdown, the BRIT Award winner found himself falling in love with baking while spending time with his young son. Back in 2021, he shared with Sky News: 'My son enjoys cakes, like a lot of three-year-olds do. 'So we got into making all sorts of different kinds of cakes, I've kind of become quite good at baking, which is not necessarily a bad thing.' And when quizzed about taking part in Bake Off, he said he was a fan of the show and despite not liking the thought of appearing on reality shows, would make the exception. He said: 'If they want me, I'll be there. 'I don't really like the idea of reality shows, but I reckon I'd give Bake Off a go. If Big Narstie can do, I can do it.' The news comes just days after it was claimed that fashion influencer Molly-Mae Hague, comedian Babatúndé Aléshé and Dance Moms alum JoJo Siwa are also set for the iconic Bake Off tent. Molly-Mae, is set to make her come back to reality TV on the Channel 4 show for the first time since Love Island. The influencer, 26, has been placed firmly in the spotlight since her break-up last year with Tommy Fury, which was chronicled in her Prime Video documentary, Molly-Mae: Behind it All. A source told The Sun earlier this week: 'She will be a great addition to the line-up and bring a healthy helping of Love island glamour to the tent. 'Molly's now one of Britain's biggest TV stars and has seen her fame steadily grow since she first appeared on the ITV dating show back in 2019.' While JoJo is also said to be going on the show after taking Celebrity Big Brother by storm earlier this year. The Dance Moms star, 22, is said to have been scooped up by Channel 4 to film the celebrity spin-off in the midst of her huge surge in popularity in the UK. A source told The Sun: 'This is a bit of a coup for the Bake Off because Jojo is currently one of the most talked about young stars on TV right now. 'She's barely had time to catch her breath, leaving CBB last month amid huge media attention and heading straight into another huge show this month.' They added that it's a 'fantastic gig for her' because although she already has a fanbase over here, the baking show will also introduce her to a wider British audience. Comedian Babatunde Aleshe is also said to be on the star-studded line-up, after his stint on I'm A Celeb in 2022. A TV insider told The Sun: 'Babatunde is guaranteed to be hilarious and will no doubt have plenty of banter with Paul, Noel, Caroline and Alison. 'He's not known for his prowess in the kitchen so there's sure to be some panicky moments laced with the good humour he's known for. 'His energy on the Gogglebox sofa has always been pure positivity and very infectious, and bosses are hoping he'll bring that to the tent.' The celebrity special of the beloved Channel 4 baking show is set to take place later this year, with hosts noel Fielding and Alison Hammond returning, alongside judge Paul Hollywood.

Lorde ‘pretty keen' to ‘pull some strings' and make Glastonbury appearance
This draws speculation as to whether the singer from New Zealand, who does not feature on the official line-up, will play during one of the slots marked TBA. The full scheduling for this year was announced earlier in the week and includes sets from Irish rap trio Kneecap and singer Charli XCX, as well as headline performances from British pop band The 1975, Neil Young and his band the Chrome Hearts, and US pop singer Olivia Rodrigo. Asked if she would be playing at the festival, Lorde told Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 2 show: 'You know, I'm pretty keen, honestly. 'I feel like, because the album's going to be coming out, I am quite tempted by what's going on, because I've got lots of friends playing as well. We'll see if I can pull some strings and get there.' The 28-year-old is friends with a number of singers including Brat star Charli XCX, who is playing the Other Stage on the Saturday night. Earlier in the year, the British singer played at US festival Coachella where Lorde made an appearance to perform their collaborative version of Girl, So Confusing. The singer, whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor, has played at Glastonbury before and performed on the Other Stage in 2017 and the Pyramid Stage in 2022. Asked what it was like to walk onto the Pyramid Stage, she said: 'Absolutely unbelievable, enormous. I was shooketh at the scale. So many cameras … oh goodness. So beautiful, so amazing. 'In 2017 we played the Other Stage, which was so amazing, that was kind of sunset and very moody and just the best. It's the best festival in the world.' The singer shot to fame with her chart-topping single Royals in 2013, which was included in her album Pure Heroine. She has since released the albums Melodrama (2017) and Solar Power (2021), with her fourth studio album, Virgin, to be released on June 27. Glastonbury is running from June 25 to June 29 with performances from the likes of US rapper Doechii, UK singer Raye and veteran rocker Sir Rod Stewart, who will be playing during the coveted legends slot.
