Mabel married Preye Crooks
Mabel has got married. The 29-year-old singer tied the knot with music executive Preye Crooks on Saturday (26.07.25) in an intimate ceremony before heading to London's Victoria and Albert Museum for a spectacular party in the evening. A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'It was quite an intimate affair initially — they had a nice dinner with their closest friends and family to kick things off. "Then more of their loved ones turned up to celebrate with them in style later in the evening. 'They all had a brilliant time and Mabel and Preye looked so in love.' Around 150 people, including presenter Miquita Oliver and her mother Andi Oliver, enjoyed champagne and margaritas until late into the night at the museum, which costs at least £10,000 to hire for wedding parties. Mabel - who is the daughter of singer Neneh Cherry and musician-and-producer Cameron McVey - got engaged to Preye last November and she recently admitted her mother "just cries all the time" out of excitement about her wedding. The Finders Keepers hitmaker initially thought Preye was "too normal" when they first met because she was always attracted to men who were not going to treat her well. Speaking on the Miss Me podcast, she said: "Subconsciously when I met Preye, I was just like, 'No, he's too normal. He's not going to get this. He's too nice'. "He would ask me how I am. And I'm like, 'What do you want? What's the catch here?' "Because honestly, all I wanted to do was sit around chasing some guy that probably didn't reply, probably had a secret baby, secret girlfriend. All true stories. Sad but it's true." While the couple held their reception at the V+A, Mabel previously said she had been looking at other iconic London buildings for her wedding day. Asked where they might tie the knot, she said: "It's like St Paul's Cathedral. I think there's a few things you can do. I'm like, what can we get out of this?" The Don't Call Me Up singer and the Strawberries and Creem Festival organiser began dating in 2021 after meeting through the music industry.

Mabel: My mother is crying with excitement over forthcoming marriage
The Don't Call Me Up singer said both her parents are thrilled about her engagement to record label executive Preye Crooks, adding: 'I think the thing that they are proudest of is that I'm more able to be myself and express myself.' Mabel, who has also had top 10 singles with Mad Love and Boyfriend, said her father, music producer Cameron McVey, was not impressed by the last person she dated. She said: 'I remember one time a guy pulled up to my dad's house in a Lamborghini… and I remember my dad just being like, 'Never bring a man to my house again until you're serious'.' Mabel, who was the first guest on Michael Dapaah's new digital series Comfortably Speaking, which is broadcast on his YouTube channel, told him she finds awards ceremonies difficult. The singer, who won the Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist in 2020, said: 'They're like a pressure cooker for everything negative. 'It's not really about celebrating, it's just everybody there is anxious about what other people are thinking about them. 'I'm just like, 'What do people think about me?'' Mabel also said that coming from a family of successful musicians means some people think, 'Oh, well, you're a nepo baby so, like, you're shit.'
