Jack White, renowned guitarist and former member of The White Stripes, is facing a divorce filing from his wife, Olivia Jean, after four years of marriage. Jean, a musician signed to White's Third Man Records, filed for divorce on June 3, 2026, citing "inappropriate marital conduct" that she claims makes further cohabitation "unsafe and improper."

The couple's relationship began in 2009 when Jean joined Third Man Records as the lead singer of the all-female gothic rock band, The Black Belles. Their professional collaboration evolved into a personal relationship, culminating in a surprise on-stage proposal and wedding during a concert at Detroit's Masonic Temple in April 2022.
