Actress Margaret Qualley and Grammy-winning producer Jack Antonoff have filed for divorce, ending a marriage of a little more than three years. The case was filed on Friday, October 30, 2026, in Kings County Supreme Court in Brooklyn, New York, according to court records cited by The Associated Press and USA Today.
The filing makes official a split that first became public in July, when reports emerged that the couple had decided to go their separate ways. Until now, neither side had moved to formally end the marriage.
What We Know
According to the AP, the case is listed in the Brooklyn court system as an uncontested matrimonial action, a designation generally used when spouses are not fighting over the terms of the divorce. The AP reported that Qualley is named as the plaintiff and Antonoff as the defendant. USA Today, which also reviewed New York Supreme Court records, described the filing as a joint one.
No reason for the divorce appears in the public summaries of the case, and no details about how assets will be divided have been made public. Attorneys for both stars did not immediately respond to requests for comment, the AP said.
The couple had already been living apart for several months. People first reported on July 8 that the pair had separated. Two days later, a representative for Qualley pushed back on tabloid narratives about the breakup, rejecting claims of “trust issues” and “infidelity” and stressing that the two still had “deep love and care for one another,” USA Today reported.
Background
Qualley, 32, and Antonoff, 42, met in 2021 and were soon photographed together in Brooklyn. They married in August 2023 in Beach Haven, on New Jersey’s Long Beach Island, in a ceremony attended by famous friends including Taylor Swift, one of Antonoff’s longest-running collaborators. Lana Del Rey was also among the guests, according to USA Today.
Their relationship often found its way into Antonoff’s work. He co-wrote Del Rey’s 2023 song “Margaret,” a track widely understood as a tribute to the couple’s romance.
Professionally, both have had a remarkable few years. Margaret Qualley, the daughter of actress Andie MacDowell, broke through with “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and the Netflix series “Maid,” which earned her an Emmy nomination. She drew more acclaim opposite Demi Moore in the body-horror hit “The Substance.”
Antonoff, who also fronts the band Bleachers, has won 14 Grammy Awards and is one of the most in-demand producers in pop music. Beyond his long partnership with Taylor Swift, he has worked with Lana Del Rey and Sabrina Carpenter, among many others.
As recently as February, Qualley told Vanity Fair that the couple hoped to have children together, USA Today noted. Their last joint red-carpet appearance cited by the paper was at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards in Elmont, New York.
Reactions
Neither Qualley nor Antonoff has released a new public statement about the filing. Antonoff did briefly allude to the separation during a September 15 concert in West Hollywood, USA Today reported. When a fan shouted a request for the Bleachers song “Let’s Get Married,” he answered: “Absolutely not. Read the news, brother.”
What’s Next
Because the case is listed as uncontested, it could move through the New York courts relatively quickly, though no timeline has been made public. Both stars have busy schedules ahead, and any further statements are likely to come through their representatives.
