Music Man Jack Antonoff Loses Muse Privilege After Shocking Split From Margaret Qualley
The producer must now find a new famous indie darling to stare at while he presses the 'reverb' button.

It is a sad day for girls who wear Mary Janes and guys who own more than five vintage synthesizers. Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff are officially 'figuring things out,' which is celebrity-speak for 'I am moving my collection of Victorian-era doilies out of our shared Brooklyn brownstone before the weekend.'
Word on the street is that Jack’s habit of making every single pop star sound exactly like a 1980s prom night became too much for Margaret to handle. Apparently, she just wanted to eat her breakfast in peace without him trying to layer a synth pad over the sound of her pouring almond milk. You can only live in a curated indie dream sequence for so long before you crave a normal life involving actual sunlight and fewer cardigans.
Margaret is reportedly looking forward to a life where not every minor disagreement is turned into a bridge for a Taylor Swift B-side. As for Jack, he’s likely already scouting the nearest A24 film set for a replacement muse who can pull off a blunt fringe and a moody expression while he fiddles with a mixing board. It's a tough time for the couple, but a great time for the local thrift stores about to receive a massive influx of size-small corduroy jackets.
