Meanwhile, several outlets reported on Wednesday, July 8, that Antonoff and Qualley, 31, had separated just months before their third wedding anniversary. They had tied the knot in August 2023.

A tipster spilled to Page Six that “Jack could be very particular about how he liked things. He’d often prefer for things to be done the way he thought was best, and Margaret didn’t always feel like her perspective was being heard or given the same weight. Communication was definitely a challenge between him and Margaret.”
