## Key points

- Antonoff plans to keep performing songs about Qualley.
- He says sharing them with fans has been meaningful.
- The couple separated after about three years of marriage.

## Summary

Jack Antonoff says he will continue performing songs he wrote about Margaret Qualley, despite their separation, because changing the setlist would go against the honesty he has promised his audience. He described sharing the songs with fans who understand their changed meaning as “really beautiful”, and said he would rather experience difficult feelings publicly than avoid them in private.

The couple’s separation was reported in July after about three years of marriage; they had dated for roughly a year before marrying in New Jersey. Neither had reportedly filed to end the marriage at the time of the interview, and Qualley’s representative said there was no infidelity and that they still cared deeply for each other. Antonoff did not identify specific songs, though “You and Forever” and “Tiny Moves” may resonate differently now.
