Jack White’s Wife Olivia Jean Files for Divorce After 4 Years, Claims ‘Inappropriate Marital Conduct’

Markel cited inappropriate marital conduct and irreconcilable differences, saying she is dependent on White’s income for support.

  • On June 3, Olivia Jean Markel filed for divorce from musician Jack White in Nashville, citing "irreconcilable differences" and "inappropriate marital conduct" in court documents.
  • The Nashville-based pair married in December 2022 during an onstage ceremony at Detroit's Masonic Temple, having known each other since 2009 when Jean signed to White's Third Man Records label.
  • In the complaint, Markel alleged that White's behavior made "further cohabitation unsafe and improper," while requesting spousal support and to remain a beneficiary on his life insurance policy.
  • This divorce marks the third marriage dissolution for the Seven Nation Army singer, who was previously married to bandmate Meg White from 1996 to 2000 and model Karen Elson from 2005 to 2013.
  • Court documents confirm the couple is seeking an equitable division of their accumulated marital assets as the four-year union concludes in 2026.
