Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff File for Divorce After Three Years of Marriage

Actor Margaret Qualley and Grammy-winning songwriter Jack Antonoff have filed for divorce after three years of marriage. The couple filed the paperwork on Friday, 30 October 2026, according to court records and reports from ABC News and Billboard.

The filing comes months after the couple’s separation first became public. Reports of the split began in July, but the couple had not made a public statement about the end of the marriage before the filing.

What the Filing Says

The case was filed in Kings County Supreme Court in Brooklyn. Qualley is listed as the plaintiff and Antonoff as the defendant, according to one report, and the court categorises the proceeding as an uncontested matrimonial action.

Billboard reported that the couple jointly filed for an uncontested, pre-packaged divorce settlement. A source close to the couple told People that the divorce is uncontested. Reports stress that filing the paperwork does not mean the divorce has been finalised.

A Divorce Filing After Months of Speculation

How the Relationship Unfolded

The couple began dating in 2021 and kept much of their relationship private before their wedding in August 2023. The ceremony drew attention because Taylor Swift was among the guests, along with Lana Del Rey, Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum.

Qualley’s mother, actress Andie MacDowell, was also among the guests at the ceremony. The couple had made their relationship public in March 2022, at an awards luncheon in Los Angeles.

The Separation

The separation first became public on 8 July 2026, and Qualley’s representative confirmed the breakup two days later. Questions about the relationship had grown after Antonoff attended Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding festivities without Qualley.

Fans also noticed that photographs from the couple’s wedding had been removed from Qualley’s Instagram account, which added to speculation about the state of the marriage.

Responses From Both Sides

Qualley’s representative denied reports suggesting infidelity or trust issues as the cause of the split. Neither Qualley nor Antonoff has publicly given a detailed explanation for the breakup, according to reports.

Antonoff addressed the breakup in an interview with The Guardian, published on 25 October 2026. He has also spoken about the situation on stage. When a fan asked him to play his 2017 song “Let’s Get Married” at a concert in Los Angeles in September, he responded with a quip, asking the fan to read the news.

Antonoff’s Public Comments

Antonoff has spoken about the relationship in earlier interviews, including one with Howard Stern. Reports say he described knowing he would marry Qualley from the moment they met at a party in 2021.

Reports also say Antonoff described continuing to sing songs connected to the relationship as “really beautiful,” even while acknowledging the sadness of the breakup.

Qualley’s Career

Qualley is an actress known for The Substance and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. She has also appeared in the Netflix drama Maid and the mini-series Fosse/Verdon.

Her work on screen has earned her wide recognition, and the divorce filing has drawn attention to her personal life as well as her professional projects.

Antonoff’s Career

Antonoff is a Grammy-winning songwriter and producer who has worked with artists including Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey and Sabrina Carpenter. He is also the frontman of the band Bleachers.

His work with major pop artists has made him one of the best-known producers in the music industry.

Qualley’s Connection to Antonoff’s Music

Qualley appeared in the 2024 music video for the Bleachers song “Tiny Moves,” which was choreographed and co-directed by the actress. The video was filmed just weeks before the couple’s wedding, which reflects how closely their work and personal lives had been linked.

Timeline of the Relationship and Split

The key dates in the couple’s relationship and separation are set out below, based on reports from People, ABC News and Billboard.

The timeline shows that the separation was known for several months before the filing, and that the couple did not formally announce the divorce until the court papers were lodged.

What Happens Next

The divorce is uncontested, so the process is expected to be straightforward. Reports say the filing does not mean the divorce has been finalised, and the court will need to complete the remaining steps.

Reports do not say whether either Qualley or Antonoff will comment further on the divorce.
