LA Times: Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff End Their Marriage in an Uncontested Brooklyn Filing

Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff have formally ended their marriage. The actress and the Grammy winning producer filed for an uncontested divorce in Brooklyn on Friday, October 30, about three years after their 2023 wedding, according to reports from the Los Angeles Times, the Associated Press, Rolling Stone, Billboard and People.

The filing closes the book on one of the most closely watched pairings in film and music, a relationship that played out in red carpet appearances, music videos and a shared movie soundtrack. It also confirms what had been public since the summer, when news of the couple's separation first broke.

Inside the Brooklyn Filing

According to Rolling Stone, the case was filed in Kings County Supreme Court under the name Sarah Margaret Qualley v. Jack Michael Antonoff. The filing describes the split as an "uncontested joint divorce," and Billboard characterized it as a pre packaged settlement. The court has processed a certificate of dissolution, but the settlement agreement itself is still pending review by a judge. The couple has no children.

Representatives for Qualley and Antonoff did not respond to requests for comment from Rolling Stone or Billboard. A source told People that the decision was mutual and said, "They share a deep affinity and love for one another, and though their romantic partnership is ending, they will absolutely be lifelong friends."

From the AFI Luncheon to a New Jersey Wedding

Qualley and Antonoff began dating in 2021 after meeting at a party and made their official red carpet debut as a couple at the AFI Awards Luncheon in 2022. They married in August 2023 in New Jersey, Antonoff's home state, at a celebration that drew a striking guest list. Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Channing Tatum, Zoë Kravitz and Cara Delevingne were among those reported in attendance, along with Qualley's mother, actress Andie MacDowell.

News of their separation became public in July 2026. At the time, a representative for Qualley pushed back on speculation about the cause, saying, "There are no trust issues," and adding that there was "no infidelity or anything outside of respect and partnership in this relationship."

A Romance That Lived in the Work

Few Hollywood couples blended their creative lives as openly. Qualley choreographed, co directed and starred in the 2024 video for Bleachers' "Tiny Moves," which she described as a love letter, and she also appeared in the video for "You and Forever." Antonoff scored Ethan Coen's 2025 film "Honey Don't!", in which Qualley stars and sings as the character Lace Manhattan. She is also the subject of Lana Del Rey's 2023 song "Margaret," which Antonoff co wrote and co produced.

That shared catalog has made the split visible in unusual ways. Billboard reported that at a September concert, when a fan called out for the song "Let's Get Married," Antonoff answered, "Read the news, brother." He later told The Guardian that he had at first been worried about performing songs written about her, but found that "it's actually been really beautiful."

Two Careers at Full Speed

Qualley, 32, is one of the busiest actors of her generation. She broke out on HBO's "The Leftovers," appeared in Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," and earned Emmy nominations for "Fosse/Verdon" and the Netflix series "Maid," which also brought her a Golden Globe nomination. She worked with Yorgos Lanthimos on "Poor Things" and "Kinds of Kindness," and her role opposite Demi Moore in "The Substance" earned her another Golden Globe nomination.

Antonoff, 42, leads the band Bleachers and first found fame as a member of Fun., whose "We Are Young" topped the charts. As a producer and songwriter he has shaped records for Taylor Swift, Lorde, Lana Del Rey and Sabrina Carpenter, and he won the Grammy for Producer of the Year, Non Classical, three years running for 2022, 2023 and 2024.

What Comes Next

Neither Qualley nor Antonoff has spoken publicly about Friday's filing, and the terms of the settlement have not been released. With the agreement still awaiting a judge's sign off, the legal side of the story is not quite finished. What both camps have made clear is the tone they want to set: no scandal, no blame and, in the words of the source who spoke to People, a friendship meant to last. For two artists whose love story was so often told through their work, the next chapter will almost certainly be written there too.
