Margaret Qualley is ecstatic to have “found [her] person” in husband Jack Antonoff.
The two first started dating in 2021 and officially became man and wife in 2023. Now, they are thriving as two of Hollywood’s buzziest newlyweds.
As Qualley said of their relationship in Harper’s Bazaar’s October 2023 cover story: “It’s real. It’s amazing. It’s the best feeling in the world. I’m so excited and so at ease all at once.”

In a guest appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the music producer talks about the nerves he felt on the day of his New Jersey wedding to Qualley.
“Someone told me that when you die and when you get married is the only time everyone you love is in a room,” Antonoff tells Meyers. “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.”
He continues, “It was really beautiful. I’m looking for jokes, but it was just really beautiful.”
Antonoff also opens up about the impact Qualley has had on his perspective on relationships, an effect he refers to as “this crazy emotional twist.”
“We all have this armor that we wear. Like, ‘Oh I’m bad at relationships’ or ‘I’m this’ or ‘I’m that.’ And then, if you come to a point in your life where that just wasn’t true, you have to do so much unpacking of that,” he explains. “That’s a funny thing.”
