Full account
Musician and producer Jack Antonoff and actor Margaret Qualley have filed jointly for divorce after three years of marriage. The filing was made on Friday, 30 October, in Brooklyn’s Kings County Supreme Court and describes the case as an uncontested joint divorce. Court records indicate that a certificate of dissolution has been processed, while a settlement agreement remains pending judicial review. The couple have no children.
The news follows their separation becoming public in July. People, cited by Rolling Stone, reported that an unnamed source described the decision to end the marriage as mutual and said the pair intended to remain close. In July, Qualley’s representative also rejected tabloid claims about the relationship, saying there had been no infidelity or breach of trust. Representatives for both have been approached for comment; neither source reports a public statement from the couple about the divorce filing.
Antonoff has recently spoken about performing songs he wrote about Qualley with his band, Bleachers. He told The Guardian that he had considered changing the set list after the split, but decided to keep the songs in the show. Billboard also noted that, at a September concert, he responded to a request for the 2017 song “Let’s Get Married” by telling the fan to read the news. Their accounts place his remarks in the context of a relationship that had once been a visible part of their creative lives.
The two were first linked in 2021 and married in New Jersey in August 2023. Their collaborations and public tributes included Qualley choreographing, co-directing and appearing in Bleachers’ “Tiny Moves” video, which she called a love letter to Antonoff in a 2024 interview. Billboard also recounts their work connected to the film Honey Don’t! and the song “Margaret”, co-written and co-produced by Antonoff for Lana Del Rey. The divorce filing now brings the marriage to a legal close, subject to the court’s review of the outstanding settlement.
Where outlets differ
From the full account, which is AI-written from the sources:
Rolling Stone foregrounds the court’s description of the case and the pending settlement, and includes an unnamed source’s account that the separation was mutual and that the pair expect to remain friends. Billboard calls the filing an uncontested, pre-packaged settlement and supplies more detail about the couple’s public appearances, music and film work; it does not include the friendship account.
The outlets describe the filing timing similarly, though Billboard specifies the date as 30 October and says it independently confirmed the filing. Rolling Stone reports that representatives had not immediately replied to its request; Billboard says it had reached out, without reporting a response.
Billboard gives additional background on rumours linked to Antonoff attending Taylor Swift’s wedding with his sister, and quotes his response to a concert request for “Let’s Get Married”. Rolling Stone instead gives more space to Qualley’s representative’s July denial of tabloid allegations and to Antonoff’s explanation of why he kept performing relationship songs.
