UMVA has learned that Jack White, the iconic singer of The White Stripes, has parted ways with his wife of four years, Olivia Jean, in a shocking split.
The couple's whirlwind romance and on-stage wedding have come to an abrupt end, with Olivia Jean filing for divorce on June 3 and citing "inappropriate marital conduct" as the reason for their separation.
According to information obtained by UMVA, Jean's petition paints a disturbing picture of their marriage, with the singer-songwriter claiming she no longer feels safe living with White, 50.
The divorce filing reveals a complex web of dependencies, with Jean stating she relies on White's income to pay bills and asking to remain on his life insurance policy despite their split.
The couple's romance was a long time in the making, with Jean signing to Jack White's record label, Third Man Records, in 2009, but it wasn't until their on-stage wedding in 2011 that they made their union official.
White's past relationships have been highly publicized, including his marriage to former bandmate Meg White from 1996 to 2000, during which they maintained they were siblings.
Meg White has largely disappeared from public life since The White Stripes disbanded in 2011, and despite Jack White's praise for his former bandmate, hopes of a reunion have been all but abandoned.
As the news of Jack White and Olivia Jean's split continues to unfold, fans are left reeling from the sudden end to their seemingly fairy-tale romance.
