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.

NEW PODCAST SHOWCASES "CHARLIE'S PLACE," A REVOLUTIONARY, CULTURAL HAVEN IN AMERICAN HISTORY THAT BROUGHT PEOPLE TOGETHER THROUGH MUSIC
Remembering an Iconic Myrtle Beach Venue That Welcomed Legendary Entertainers While Pioneering Inclusion and Black Entrepreneurship Podcast Series Co-Produced by Atlas Obscura and Rococo Punch in Partnership with Pushkin Industries and Visit Myrtle Beach Debuts July 21, 2025 Listen to the official audio trailer now HERE MYRTLE BEACH, S.C., July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- How did a Black man in the 1940s Jim Crow South open a club where Black and White people danced side by side to the tunes of music's legendary entertainers? The answer lies in a story as unforgettable as the music that turned a nightclub into a place of unity. Beginning Monday, July 21, 2025, CHARLIE'S PLACE, a new five-episode, documentary-style podcast series hosted by filmmaker Rhym Guissé, uncovers the unbelievable true story of a revolutionary Myrtle Beach juke joint that brought communities together through the power of music. Segregation was the law in the 1940s and 1950s, but Charlie's Place had its own rules—Black and White people were welcome to enjoy some of the greatest musicians of our time: Little Richard, Count Basie, Ray Charles, Duke Ellington, Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald and many more. The groundbreaking music venue became a symbol of joy, strength and hope in a divided time. In CHARLIE'S PLACE, Guissé shares the remarkable story of resilience and unity of a community and the transformative power of music. Charlie Fitzgerald, a powerful Black businessman whose past was shrouded in mystery, was the club's enigmatic founder who achieved the impossible—an integrated nightclub in Myrtle Beach. His success was an inspiration to many but a danger to those in power. As the club flourished, it sparked intense resistance from segregationists, leading to a raid by Ku Klux Klan members, and profound change that reverberated through the community. The podcast takes listeners on a journey through the legendary venue's history—revealing the truth behind its origins, the challenges it faced and the vibrant community it brought together. Interspersing interviews with historians, cultural experts and Carolinians who share firsthand accounts of growing up during the height of Charlie's Place, Guissé tells the story of how this music venue defied segregation and what happens when people choose courage and community over division. It's a tale of triumph and tragedy, of resilience and joy, of a place where music did more than entertain—it changed lives and shaped a movement. "Charlie's Place is a meaningful part of Myrtle Beach's history that reminds us of the power of community and the importance of coming together, even in the hardest times. Preserving its legacy is about more than just remembering the past. It is about honoring the people who stood up for unity in a divided time and helping that message continue to inspire future generations," said Stuart Butler, President, Visit Myrtle Beach. "Working on this project showed me the beauty of preserving Black legacy with care. Storytelling isn't just creative work — it's about honoring culture and history, and I feel truly honored to carry that responsibility," said Guissé. Co-produced by Atlas Obscura, the leading travel and content community destination, Rococo Punch, the award-winning independent audio production studio known for their thoughtful storytelling and exquisite sound, and in partnership with Malcolm Gladwell's acclaimed podcast and audiobook company, Pushkin Industries, and Visit Myrtle Beach, CHARLIE'S PLACE is a captivating exploration of an overlooked and significant chapter in American history.

Artists behind Dudley's Sam Allardyce mural are 'glad the big man loved it'
The mystery surrounding a Sam Allardyce mural in Dudley town centre has been solved as two artists have come forward to claim credit. Dion Kitson and Adam Wynn collaborate on the 'Really Big Sam' piece which featured the former England boss tucking into a bag of orange chips. Big Sam was a fan of the work and said he was "absolutely privileged" to be honoured in his hometown, adding: "I think it was a very good likeness." READ MORE: 'I almost died in childbirth - my boyfriend kissed me and knew something was really wrong' In a video message shared with ITV News, Allardyce joked: "Chips look a bit hot, but I really enjoyed seeing it. "Whoever did it, thank you very much." The mural - and other bizarre artwork - appeared in the town last week, but the artists only revealed themselves on Sunday, July 20. In a joint Instagram post, they clubbed together footage from ITV News and a clip showing the mural being pasted onto the wall in Union Street. Passers-by were also caught on camera as they snapped pictures of the finished product. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dion Kitson (@dionkitson) The video was captioned: "Dion Kitson x Adam Wynn created the mural dedicated to Sam Allardyce in Dudley town centre. We're glad the big man loved it." The duo were now selling A3 prints, which they have signed and dated, for £50. Other artwork that appeared in the town centre last week included a 'Beware of the Cob' piece, which appeared around the corner from the Allardyce mural on High Street. The humorous artwork was plastered on a boarded up store next to The Full Moon pub. Another appeared on Castle Street - opposite Sofi's Plaice chip shop - showing bags of chips lying on a sunbed dubbed 'The Orange Chip Maker 3000'. While it is likely the duo were also behind these pieces, they have not officially claimed responsibility.
