Now, more than four years later, White and Jean are back in the headlines after she filed for divorce in June 2026. This announcement marks the end of a relationship that emerged from a long professional partnership, as Jean had closely collaborated with White through the Third Man Records label for many years before they became a romantic couple.
Learn more about White’s wife, their relationship, and the reasons for the split below.
Jean is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer from Detroit, best known as the former vocalist of the band The Black Belles. Since 2009, she has been closely associated with Jack White’s label, Third Man Records, and has released several solo albums, including Bathtub Love Killings, Night Owl, and Raving Ghost.
White and Jean first met in 2009 when Jean left a demo CD at a concert of White’s band, The Dead Weather. Impressed by her music, White invited her to Nashville, where he helped launch her career through Third Man Records. Later, Jean formed the band The Black Belles, which White produced, and they maintained a close professional relationship for many years before becoming a couple.
Although the couple kept much of their romantic relationship private, reports suggest that they were friends and colleagues for many years before their relationship became romantic around the mid-2010s.
They got engaged and married on stage during a White concert at the Masonic Temple in Detroit on April 8, 2022, which became one of the most memorable surprises in rock music. Their marriage lasted just over four years before Jean filed for divorce in June 2026.
According to court documents filed in Nashville on June 3, 2026, Jean cited «irreconcilable differences» and «inappropriate marital conduct» as reasons for the divorce. The statement claims that White’s behavior made «further cohabitation unsafe and unacceptable», - although specific details of the allegations were not disclosed.
Jean is also seeking alimony, continued health insurance, and beneficiary status on White’s life insurance policy. Neither White nor Jean has commented on the filing
