We’re willing to bet that no one had “Taylor Swift and Matty Healy dating” on their 2023 Bingo cards — but alas, here we are. In May 2023, reports that the pop icon was romantically involved with The 1975 frontman started swirling.
However, speculation began in early May that Matty is dating Taylor Swift following her split from Joe Alwyn. “She and Matty are madly in love. It’s super-early days, but it feels right,” a source close to Taylor reportedly told The U.S. Sun. “They first dated, very briefly, almost 10 years ago but timings just didn’t work out.”
According to the source, there was no crossover between Matty and Joe; Taylor and Joe reportedly broke up in February.
Both Swifties and fans of The 1975 were surprised by the reports, as Taylor is in the middle of her Eras tour and The 1975 is on the road for its At Their Very Best tour. Evidently, there has been “a lot of Face-Timing and texting,” the anonymous source told The U.S. Sun.

The source added, “They are both massively proud and excited about this relationship and, unlike Taylor’s last one — which was very much kept out of the spotlight, deliberately — she wants to ‘own’ this romance, and not hide it away.”
On Monday, June 5, TMZ reported that Taylor and Matty were no longer together, with a friend close to the situation revealing that the “Karma” songstress is currently single. Another source soon spoke with Entertainment Tonight and revealed the reason behind their split.
“Taylor and Matty broke up. They are both extremely busy and realized they’re not really compatible with each other,” the source told the outlet. “Taylor’s friends want what’s best for her and aren’t shocked that their relationship fizzled out since she recently got out of a long-term relationship.”
A third source disclosed to People that Taylor and Matty were never serious: “She had fun with him, but it was always casual. They were never boyfriend-girlfriend or exclusive and were always just having fun.”
“There is no drama, and who knows what could happen again,” they added. “It was a good time and ran its course.”
Matty and Taylor were previously romantically linked in 2014, when she attended a The 1975 concert, although Matty has since publicly denied they dated.
Matty Healy’s relationship history includes FKA Twigs.
Matty’s last known relationship was with English singer-songwriter, actor, and dancer, FKA Twigs. Although not much is publicly known about their romance, Matty and FKA went Instagram official in February 2020 when The 1975 lead singer posted a photo of them at the NME Awards. They reportedly dated for more than two years from late 2019 to June 2022.
An insider reportedly told the Daily Mail of their breakup: “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.”
Matty Healy dated Gabriella Brooks from 2015 to 2019.
From 2015 to 2019, Matty was romantically linked to model Gabriella Brooks. She reportedly decided to call it quits because she was tired of his partying lifestyle, according to The U.S. Sun.
“Matty is great when he’s on form but he isn’t the easiest person to be with and leads a very unconventional life. There has been a lot of strain on their relationship, not helped by him being on tour a lot this year,” a source told the publication. “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.”
Matty Healy reportedly dated Halsey briefly in 2015.
In 2015, Halsey was spotted at a The 1975 concert. She and Matty were rumored to have had a brief fling at the time, although neither of them have confirmed having a relationship.
Fan theories suggest The 1975’s songs, “A Change of Heart” and “The Sound” were written about Halsey — and Halsey’s song “Colors” is reportedly about Matty.
Interestingly, Halsey was spotted at a The 1975 concert during their At Their Very Best tour in late 2022.
Previously, Matty was romantically linked to Aliana Lohan and Gemma James.

Matty Healy kissed a male fan on stage in 2022 and 2023 — what is his sexuality?
On June 2023, Matty Healy kissed a male security guard while performing in Denmark on Friday evening.
Out also reported that Matty shared a passionate kiss with a male fan on stage during the band’s At Their Very Best tour. What makes this story even more interesting is that this isn’t the first time Matty has kissed a male fan in front of a crowd.
Back in 2019, he planted one on a male fan during a concert in Dubai as well. Despite the fact that Matty has been comfortable kissing guys in public, he insists that he isn’t gay because he isn’t into having full-on intercourse with men.
“I see things as objectively beautiful, so men can be objectively beautiful,” he told Attitude magazine in January 2020. “Sometimes I see men and I’m like, ‘F**k me, he’s peng!'”
He added: “Then sexuality gets changed for me because I would, and have, kissed beautiful men, but I don’t want to f**k them. It stops for me when it comes to [sex].”
