Jack Antonoff didn’t show up solo to Taylor Swift‘s wedding amid his separation from wife Margaret Qualley.
News broke on Wednesday, July 9, that Qualley, 31, and Antonoff, 42, had split after three years of marriage. Rumors swirled about the couple’s status after Qualley was absent from Swift’s wedding to Travis Kelce at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Friday, July 3. The producer instead celebrated the nuptials with his older sister, Rachel, by his side.
TMZ reported on Wednesday that Qualley removed her and Antonoff’s wedding photos from her social media page. Antonoff, however, was spotted with his wedding ring still on while stepping out in Brooklyn amid the surprise split.
Antonoff and Qualley tied the knot in 2023 after two years of dating.
“Someone told me that when you die and when you get married is the only time everyone you love is in a room,” the Bleachers musician joked on Late Night With Seth Meyers later that year. “And I was like, ‘Oh, that is just a thing someone says, and I perform for a living so I don’t mind if the attention is on me.’ And then as soon as it started, my whole body became wet.”
Antonoff went on to say the “crazy emotional twist” about love was his biggest takeaway from marriage thus far.
Qualley, for her part, recalled feeling “really lonely” in her relationships before Antonoff. (The actress was previously linked to Pete Davidson and Shia LaBeouf.)
“In every other relationship I’ve ever been in, I still felt really lonely because I wasn’t with my person, and it’s like I was seeking something,” Qualley told Cosmopolitan in August 2025. “I don’t feel like that anymore. Jack makes me feel safe and comfortable.”
She continued: “I spent so many years trying to be someone’s perfect girl, and that girl changed over and over again. But I can’t lie to Jack. I can’t be that for him — he’d see through it. So I just have to be myself. He’s been the person I’ve pictured my whole life. And I’m not even saying that metaphorically.”
Before news broke about their separation, Qualley and Antonoff attended the 2026 Grammy Awards together in February. That same month, Qualley addressed her preference for not discussing her private life.
“I don’t feel like I’m always good at representing myself publicly in real time, so I would almost rather say nothing at all?” she told Vanity Fair at the time. “Because rather than have the wrong idea about me, someone just wouldn’t have any idea about me.”
The outlet claimed that Qualley appeared “reluctant” to speak about Antonoff.
“I’ve always been very love-oriented,” she added at the time. “I’ve always been looking for my person, and I met Jack.”
