Jack White’s wife files for divorce over ‘inappropriate marital conduct’

The White Stripes singer Jack White has split from his wife of four years after their whirlwind on-stage wedding.

His wife, Olivia Jean, 36, filed for divorce on June 3, claiming that he is ‘guilty of inappropriate marital conduct’.

According to TMZ, in her petition, the singer-songwriter stated that she no longer feels safe cohabiting with the Seven Nation Army singer, 50.

The document reads: ‘Wife would show that Husband is guilty of inappropriate marital conduct, which makes further cohabitation unsafe and improper.’

She also stated in the filing that she is dependent on his income for bills and asked that she remain on his life insurance policy despite the split.

The couple had been married for four years, getting engaged and married while on stage for his concert at Detroit’s Masonic Temple.

They had performed Hotel Yorba together, one of the White Stripes’ hits, when White dropped to one knee and then a minister joined them.

Despite their seemingly spur-of-the-moment marriage, the couple had known each other since 2009, when Jean signed to Third Man Records.

She had fronted The Black Belles before going solo under his record label, but things remained platonic for years as he was married to second wife Karen Elson.

The couple share two children from their relationship between 2005 and 2013.

Famously, White was married to his former bandmate Meg White from 1996 to 2000, but they claimed to be siblings at the time.

They split before their biggest hits had been released but continued to do interviews together and lean into the sibling claims —or at least offer vague responses — for the rest of the White Stripes’ career.

Meg has all but disappeared from public life since the band split in 2011, never quite feeling comfortable with the fame and spotlight.

A friend conveyed to Elle previously: ‘Meg really doesn’t think she feels up for any interviews. She never liked them.’

White has always praised Meg but all hopes of the White Stripes reuniting has been abandoned by fans and, seemingly, the guitarist too.
