Actor Margaret Qualley and Grammy winner Jack Antonoff have filed for divorce after three years of marriage, according to court records reported by The Washington Post. The case was filed Friday in Kings County Supreme Court in Brooklyn, New York, as an uncontested matrimonial action, with Qualley listed as the plaintiff and Antonoff as the defendant.
Antonoff performs love songs during Bleachers tour
Jack Antonoff has continued to perform love songs on the Bleachers Forever World Tour despite the split. In an interview with The Guardian, the 42-year-old frontman admitted he initially hesitated to sing specific tracks, including “You and Forever.”
Antonoff told The Guardian that he considered changing the setlist but decided against it, stating that the deal he made with his audience was to tell them honestly how he feels. He shared, I’m going to risk at any moment having to stand behind it for f**king ever,
and noted that there is “great power” in allowing an audience to relate to the sadness and pain. He added that it has been “really beautiful” for people to gather, understand what he wrote about, and celebrate how that feels for him now.
Did you know? Margaret Qualley appeared in the music video for the Bleachers song “Tiny Moves.”
Public processing and the timeline of the split
The couple tied the knot in August 2023. While the court filing occurred this Friday, Antonoff and Qualley quietly split in July.
Antonoff has expressed a preference for processing the separation in the open. He told The Guardian, “I would rather live through something publicly than even escape it privately,” adding that it is impossible to rewrite the past. This approach aligns with his history of songwriting; Antonoff has spent 12 years releasing personal and frank songs with Bleachers because he wanted his work to serve as his life story. While speaking from a Denver hotel restaurant during his US tour, Antonoff frowned at the “intense need” for people to figure him out, noting that he keeps explaining everything.
