Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff File for Divorce After 3 Years of Marriage

Margaret Qualley Jack Antonoff divorce news broke on Friday, October 30, 2026, when the actress and the Grammy-winning producer filed to end their marriage after three years. Court records show the case was filed in Brooklyn, New York. It is listed as an uncontested matrimonial action in Kings County Supreme Court. Qualley is listed as the plaintiff, and Antonoff is listed as the defendant.

However, a source close to the former couple told People that the filing is a joint decision. “Jack and Margaret are filing for divorce jointly,” the source said. “This is a mutual decision.” In addition, the source stressed that the divorce is uncontested and mutually agreed. New York law still requires one spouse to be named plaintiff and the other defendant, even when both sides agree.

Key Facts

• Filed: Friday, October 30, 2026, in Kings County Supreme Court, Brooklyn
• Type: Uncontested, joint divorce with a settlement agreement in process
• Married: August 19, 2023, on Long Beach Island, New Jersey
• Separated: July 2026, confirmed by Qualley’s representative on July 10
• No reason given: Neither side has publicly stated a specific reason

The filing lands about three months after the couple confirmed their separation in July. At the time, Qualley’s representative pushed back hard against speculation. “The narratives running in the press about Margaret and Jack are categorically untrue,” the representative said. “There are no trust issues. There was no infidelity or anything outside of respect and partnership in this relationship.”

So far, neither Qualley nor Antonoff has commented publicly on the filing itself. Billboard confirmed it from court records and said it has reached out to both representatives for comment. Page Six also sought comment, and no statement had arrived as of Friday evening.

Margaret Qualley Jack Antonoff Divorce: What the Filing Means

An uncontested filing usually means the hard part is already done. Reports say the pair worked out the details in advance, so the court process should be straightforward. A settlement agreement is already in process, according to Page Six’s account of the records. As a result, the case looks amicable on paper, even though the paperwork uses formal plaintiff-defendant labels.

That distinction matters. Fans often read “plaintiff” and “defendant” as a sign of a fight. Here, however, the source account says the opposite is true. The pair filed together, and a People source added that although their romantic partnership is ending, they will “absolutely be lifelong friends.”

From a Brooklyn Ice Cream Date to a Star-Studded Wedding

Qualley and Antonoff first sparked dating rumors in August 2021, when they were spotted sharing ice cream in Brooklyn. They made their red carpet debut as a couple at the AFI Awards Luncheon in March 2022. Then, in May 2022, Qualley debuted a diamond ring at the Cannes Film Festival and confirmed the engagement on Instagram with the caption, “Oh I love him!”

They married on August 19, 2023, at Parker’s Garage on Long Beach Island, New Jersey. Guests included Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Channing Tatum, Zoë Kravitz, and Cara Delevingne. Qualley’s mother, actress Andie MacDowell, was also there. Their creative lives overlapped too. Qualley starred in the Bleachers music video for “you and forever,” released in February 2026, just months before the separation became public.

Why the Split Surprised Fans in July

News of the separation first broke on July 8, 2026. Before that, fans had noticed small signs of distance. For example, Qualley had quietly removed several photos of Antonoff from her Instagram. In addition, Antonoff attended Taylor Swift’s wedding celebration with his sister Rachel instead of Qualley, which fueled fresh speculation. Still, the July statement urged restraint and asked for respect.

What Antonoff Said About Singing the Love Songs

Just days before the filing, Antonoff addressed the split in an October 25 interview with The Guardian. He said he had considered dropping the love songs he wrote about Qualley from his Bleachers setlist. In the end, he kept them. “I don’t rewrite the past,” he said. “I have no shame about the things I’ve said.” He added that performing songs such as “dirty wedding dress” and “you and forever” had become “really beautiful” rather than painful.

For Qualley, work has continued at full speed. She stars as Cima in Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars, alongside Jacob Elordi, and she appeared at its London premiere in October without her wedding ring. She also earned wide praise for The Substance, Maid, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Her next chapter, therefore, looks busy on screen even as her personal life turns a page.

What’s Next in the Margaret Qualley Jack Antonoff Divorce

Because the filing is uncontested, the next step is likely a judge signing off on the settlement. That process can move quickly in New York when both sides agree. However, no timeline has been confirmed, and the settlement terms remain private. What is clear is the tone both sides want: a respectful ending, not a public fight. Fans should therefore expect little drama from the courtroom. Instead, the story now shifts to what each of them does next — Qualley on screen, and Antonoff on stage, still singing the songs he wrote when times were good.
