Denise Welch Seen in Tears After Taylor Swift Comments in West Hollywood

Denise Welch was seen visibly emotional and receiving comfort from her son, Matty Healy, in West Hollywood following backlash over her recent comments about his ex, Taylor Swift. Welch, 67, had sparked controversy during an interview on Watch What Happens Live by saying she was glad to no longer be Swift's mother-in-law and criticizing Swift's habit of writing songs about her famous exes, which led to strong reactions from Swift's fanbase. Despite the public attention, sources indicate that the emotional moment between Welch and Healy was related to a private family matter rather than solely the backlash. Matty Healy, 36, was supportive, consoling his mother as she wiped away tears outside a restaurant where they were dining with his fiancée, Gabbriette Bechtel. Welch emphasized she had no personal ill will toward Swift but expressed frustration over the perceived one-sided narrative in Swift's music about their breakup. The situation highlights the ongoing public scrutiny faced by the family amid Healy's past relationship with the pop star and his current engagement.
