Jack Antonoff, 42, and Margaret Qualley, 32, filed for an uncontested joint divorce on Friday, Oct. 30, in Kings County Supreme Court in New York, the outlets Independent and Los Angeles Times reported.

What happened

The pair, who married in August 2023 after a 2022 engagement, separated in July 2026 after five years together, including three years of marriage. On Oct. 30 they jointly submitted divorce papers, citing an uncontested filing. Both outlets note that representatives for the couple did not immediately respond to comment requests.

What the reports add

The Independent cites a source close to the couple who said the decision was mutual and that the pair will remain lifelong friends.
The Los Angeles Times repeats that wording and adds that the source confirmed the couple were going through a “rocky” period, as reported earlier by People.
The Los Angeles Times notes speculation began when Qualley appeared to delete wedding‑related photos from her Instagram, including images promoting Antonoff’s song “Dirty Wedding Dress.”
Both outlets confirm the filing took place in New York’s Kings County Supreme Court.
The Los Angeles Times lists several high‑profile wedding guests from August 2023, including Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, Cara Delevingne, Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz.
Both reports mention Antonoff’s ongoing Bleachers “Forever” tour, with the European leg set to start in Italy.
