Matty Healy’s Mother, Denise Welch, Takes Aim at Son’s Ex Taylor Swift in Awkward Interview, Expressing Relief She’s Not Her Daughter-in-Law

Matty Healy’s mother, actress and television personality Denise Welch, has sparked a wave of reactions after making candid remarks about her son’s highly publicized past relationship with global pop superstar Taylor Swift.

During a recent interview, Welch didn’t hold back when asked about Healy’s whirlwind romance with Swift, which dominated headlines in 2023. With a laugh that quickly turned serious, Welch admitted she was “thankful Taylor isn’t my daughter-in-law”, adding that she could never imagine herself as “a mother-in-law to someone like her.”

Although she didn’t delve into specifics, Welch’s words have fueled speculation about the family’s feelings toward the relationship. Fans have long debated the nature of Swift and Healy’s short-lived romance, which ended amid heavy media scrutiny and conflicting schedules.

Social media lit up with reactions soon after the interview aired, with some defending Welch’s right to speak her mind and others calling the remarks unnecessarily harsh. Swift’s loyal fanbase, the Swifties, quickly took to Twitter and Instagram, criticizing Welch’s comments as unprovoked.

Matty Healy, frontman of The 1975, has largely remained silent on the topic, focusing instead on his music career. Taylor Swift, meanwhile, is in the midst of her massively successful Eras Tour, which continues to break records around the globe.

Whether Welch’s comments were made in jest or with genuine sentiment, they have reignited interest in a relationship that both Swift and Healy have long since moved past.
