No, Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff Aren’t Splitting. She Missed the Swift Wedding Because She’s on a Movie Set in Arkansas

By

The reason is mundane. Qualley has been in Arkansas since April, shooting Jeff Nichols’ “King Snake” alongside Michael Shannon. Antonoff was at the July 3 wedding without her because he’s Taylor Swift’s longtime producer and one of her closest friends.

The two married in August 2023, with Swift among the guests. In her February Vanity Fair cover story, Qualley called Antonoff her “person” and said she knew she’d marry him the day they met. There’s no credible reporting of a split, just a missing plus-one and a lot of guessing.

Margaret Qualley has been on location in Arkansas since April, filming Jeff Nichols’ “King Snake” alongside Michael Shannon. Movie sets don’t break for weddings, even Taylor Swift’s.

Jack Antonoff was there on July 3 without her, which makes sense. He’s Swift’s longtime producer and one of her closest friends, so his seat at that wedding was never in question.

There’s no credible reporting that anything has changed. Qualley missed a wedding for work, and speculation filled in the rest.
