The little ghost of Jack White and Olivia Jean‘s time together is all that remains.
The Black Belles frontwoman (real name Olivia Jean Markel) filed for divorce from the White Stripes rocker after four years of marriage on June 3 in Nashville, according to court documents obtained by E! News.
Markel, 36, listed the couple’s separation date as the day of her filing, writing in a complaint, “Wife would show that Husband is guilty of inappropriate marital conduct, which makes further cohabitation unsafe and improper.”
“Wife alleges that there are such irreconcilable differences between parties as whould entitle Wife to an absolute divorce,” her filing continued, adding that she is “dependent on Husband’s income for her support.”
In Tennessee, listing “inappropriate marital conduct” is a standard, fault-based reasoning for divorce.
E! News has reached out to White and Markel’s reps for comment but hasn’t heard back.
Though they’d kept their romance out of the public eye, White, 50, proposed to Markel on April 8, 2022, during his hometown concert in Detroit.
