Actor Margaret Qualley and musician Jack Antonoff filed for divorce on Friday, October 30, 2026, according to court records. The filing, described as an uncontested joint divorce settlement, was submitted in Kings County Supreme Court in New York. The legal action follows approximately three months after reports of the couple's separation first surfaced in July 2026.
Qualley, 32, and Antonoff, 42, were married in August 2023 during a ceremony in Long Beach Island, New Jersey. Their relationship began in 2021, and they became engaged about a year later. Throughout their marriage, the two collaborated on various artistic projects, including music videos for Antonoff’s band, Bleachers, and a film soundtrack for the movie "Honey Don’t!" which starred Qualley.
Public speculation regarding the status of their marriage intensified in July 2026 when fans observed that Qualley had removed wedding photographs from her Instagram account. During the same period, Antonoff attended the wedding of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce accompanied by his sister rather than Qualley. A source quoted by People at the time stated the couple was experiencing a "rocky" period but intended to remain friends.
The scale of the settlement was not reported in specific dollar amounts, but the "uncontested, pre-packaged" nature of the filing suggests that both parties reached an agreement on the division of assets and responsibilities before appearing in court. For the individuals involved, this filing shifts their legal status from married to separated, a transition that Antonoff recently addressed in a Guardian interview, noting that he continues to perform songs written about Qualley. For the broader entertainment market, this concludes a high-profile marriage that frequently drew public and media attention during major industry events such as the Grammy Awards and film premieres.
The knock-on effects of the divorce may be seen in future creative works, as both artists have a history of documenting their personal lives through music and film. Antonoff stated he has no intention of "rewriting the past" or ceasing to perform material inspired by the relationship. What happens next is the formal review of the uncontested settlement by the Kings County Supreme Court. If the court finds the pre-packaged agreement meets legal requirements, a judge will sign the final divorce decree. No specific date for the finalization of the divorce was reported.
