Charli XCX is getting real about why she rocks two rings on her fourth finger, even though she’s not married yet. During a candid chat on The Howard Stern Show on October 2, 2024, Charli—whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison—spilled the tea. Turns out, it’s all about practicality, not symbolism.
Charli, who’s engaged to George Daniel, drummer of The 1975, shared that their wedding plans are moving slowly because they want the big day to be perfect. The couple got engaged last year, but they’re not in a rush to walk down the aisle. They’re more focused on their future together than on formal traditions.
Howard couldn’t help but notice the two rings and joked that Charli might already be married. She quickly set the record straight, explaining that she wears the second ring to keep her engagement ring from slipping off, as she never got it resized. So, it’s not a wedding band, just a smart way to avoid losing the rock.
Charli and George first connected in 2021 while working on her track “Spinning.” Their relationship grew from there, and by May 2022, Charli made it official on Instagram. George even supported her during her Saturday Night Live performance in March 2022, and since then, fans have seen plenty of cute moments between them on social media.
Known for her genre-bending music and daring fashion, Charli’s candid approach to life, including her relationship and wedding planning, continues to inspire fans. She’s taking her time with the big day, making sure every detail reflects their vibe as a couple. But whether or not the wedding happens soon, her commitment to George is stronger than ever.
