From Talk Talk To Wedding Bells
They first crossed paths at the 2019 GQ Men of the Year Awards, but their connection remained professional until their 2021 studio collaboration on โSpinningโ with No Rome. From there, their musical chemistry blossomed into romance, with George co-producing several tracks on Charliโs โCrashโ album. By early 2022, dating rumours abounded โ rumours Charli later confirmed on Instagram.
Over the years, Charli and George became inseparable, lighting up events from Paris Fashion Week to a Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Their bond culminated in a late-2023 engagement announcement, with their creative synergy on full display throughout Charliโs โBratโ era.

Although rumours of a dreamy Italian wedding had been swirling for months, Charli surprised fans by tying the knot far from the sun-kissed Sicilian coast. Instead, she and George opted for an intimate London celebration โ deftly pivoting from the grand visions Charli hinted at earlier and delivering what everyoneโs calling โa perfectly Brat wedding.โ
Mr. & Mrs. XCX
Surrounded by just 20 of their closest family and friends, 32-year-old Charli and 35-year-old George said โI do.โ Charli stunned in a Vivienne Westwood Nova Cora Mini โ a chic silk-satin dress hitting just above the knee that perfectly fused her edgy pop persona with bridal elegance. George complemented her effortlessly in a sharp navy suit (no tie), keeping the ensemble understated yet impeccably stylish.
Staying true to the low-key vibe, the newlyweds and their wedding party strolled down Hackney High Street to a nearby restaurant for the reception, enjoying a family-style feast (and yes, a few cigarettes). Rumors of a lavish Sicilian celebration linger, but this London ceremony was the real start of Mr. and Mrs. XCX โ bumping their way down the aisle.
