Charli XCX married the 1975 drummer and producer George Daniel at a Hackney Town Hall ceremony in London on Saturday, PEOPLE reported.
Among the attendees were the "360" singer's parents and Daniel's bandmates Adam Hahn and Ross MacDonald, per PEOPLE. 1975 frontman Matty Healy was not in attendance.
Charli, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison, went public about her relationship with Daniel in 2022. She then announced her engagement to the musician in 2023.
Charli and Daniel have a long history of musical partnership. They first collaborated on No Rome's 2021 single "Spinning," which featured both Charli and the 1975. Daniel later produced "Crash," "Selfish Girl," and "How Can I Not Know What I Need Right Now" from Charli's 2022 album, Crash, and worked with her on the soundtrack to the 2023 comedy Bottoms.
The 1975 multi-instrumentalist also had a prominent presence on Charli's acclaimed 2024 album, Brat, producing the tracks "Club Classics" and "Apple," the former of which name-drops him in the line "I wanna dance with George" and features the back of his head on the art for its single release. Daniel also gets a shout-out on the song "Sympathy Is a Knife" with the line "George says I'm just paranoid."
Charli revealed that the song "Talk Talk" is about a flirtatious moment between her and Daniel at the 2020 NME Awards. "We were both sort of sat on different tables, and we were texting each other, but we weren't hanging out," she explained in a TikTok. "But we were both looking over at each other. It was very, like, one of us would look, the other one would look away, and then vice versa."
In "Talk Talk," Charli sings, "I followed you to the bathroom / But then I felt crazy," which actually happened at the NME Awards. "I saw that he went to the bathroom, so I was like, 'Oh, I'll go to the bathroom, and maybe we'll bump into each other and we won't be texting all the time,'" the musician recalled. "But then I got halfway there and was like, 'This is insane.'"
The Brat track "I Think About It All the Time" chronicles the singer's complicated feelings about the possibility of having a child with Daniel. "It's kind of talking about feeling kinda existential about that and wondering, 'If I don't have a child, will I miss out on this facet of life, or actually is that just a societal pressure?'" she explained in another TikTok.Daniel also contributed backing vocals to the Japanese House's reinterpretation of "Apple," which he also produced, from Charli's Brat remix album, Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat.
"When i hear his voice i cryyyyyy i love him so muchhhhhhhhh," Charli tweeted about the track. Daniel also worked on the remix of "I Might Say Something Stupid," from the same album, with the rest of the 1975.

Rare Hulk stretch toy sells for thousands of pounds at auction
A stretch toy of Marvel's The Hulk, which has been described as one of the 'rarest stretch toys in existence', has sold for thousands of pounds, according to Excalibur Auctions. The figure, which appears to be one of only 30 known examples of the original Hulk stretch figure from 1979 known to still exist, was sold to a private collector on Saturday at the Excalibur Auctions Vintage Toys, Diecast Models & Model Railways auction for £3,900. Originally estimated between £3,000 and £5,000, the final sale set a new record in the UK for 'a figure of its kind', according to the auction house. Jonathan Torode, from Excalibur Auctions, said: 'We were excited to offer this rare piece of nostalgia today, which set a UK auction record for a figure of its kind. 'We saw competitive bidding on the phones and internet, with it finally winning out to a UK private collector, where we hope it will be as cherished by its new owner as much as it has been by its previous one.' The character the toy is based on was created by the American comic book writer and producer Stan Lee and comic artist Jack Kirby, appearing in comic form for the first time in May 1962 under the Marvel name. He was later portrayed across TV, film, cartoon and video games as The Incredible Hulk – the alter ego of the physicist Dr Bruce Banner, who transformed into the superhero when he was angry or under extreme stress. A range of actors have since portrayed the character over the years, including Eric Bana in The Hulk (2003), Edward Norton in The Incredible Hulk (2008) and Mark Ruffalo in The Avengers (2012). The toy was described as being in 'mint' condition after being kept out of the light, upright, and in its original packaging over the years. The Hulk figure also came with its original instructions and has never been offered for sale since it was bought in 1979, according to the auction house. Produced by renowned toymaker Denys Fisher (1918-2002), the figure came directly from its original owner who had begged his mother for one as a child. It was originally part of Kenner's 'Stretch Armstrong' line and was later licensed under Denys Fisher in the UK. Fisher, who developed the Spirograph, grew up in the Leeds area and later lived in Dumfries and Cumbria. The Hulk stretch figure was filled with corn syrup to enable it to stretch and was made using the same latex and gel moulds as those used for the Stretch Armstrong figure. However, its green skin colouring, the Hulk head and the Marvel branding set it apart from the Stretch Armstrong toy. Manufactured in Thorp Arch, Wetherby, the toy was sold in limited quantities only in the UK, through select mail order catalogues and a handful of shops.

New Bonnie Blue documentary includes footage from her controversial sex stunt
It was the tabloid story of 2024 when OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue declared that she'd slept with over 1,000 people in 12 hours. Her stunt instigated a conversation around whether 26-year-old Blue, whose real name is Tia Billinger, was carving a new path for feminism or destroying the one that had been laid out for her. 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story airs on Channel 4 on Tuesday 29 July at 10pm and will explore the life of Blue around the time of the stunt and in the months following. It also features behind the scenes footage from the infamous event. Press material says: 'This resulting documentary goes behind the headlines, clickbait and ragebait to discover what life's really like in Bonnie's wild orbit, how she got here and what's really going on behind those steely blue eyes. 'The film sensitively explores the central question polarising debate about her: Is she a 'dangerous predator', pandering to male fantasies and perpetuating the patriarchy? Or an empowered, sex positive, businesswoman having the last laugh?' Read more: Director Victoria Silver added: 'Bonnie Blue refuses to conform to public opinion and lives life by her own rules. At a time when factual TV is awash with retrospective stories, I wanted to capture the energy of a live and evolving story, with a woman at the heart of it who's living her life in such a bold way.' Channel 4's Commissioning Editor Tim Hancock said the documentary includes 'incredible access' to a story 'at the edges of modern morality' that will leave the audience 'questioning their own presumptions' about one of the UK's most polarising people. In June of this year, Blue announced she would be running a 'petting zoo' event with the aim of allowing 2,000 men to have sex with her. She hoped to be tied up in a glass box for the stunt, which reportedly had her banned from OnlyFans on the grounds of it violating their policy against 'extreme challenges.'
