Three years after getting married in the middle of a concert, Jack White and Olivia Jean legally separate.
Lawsuit filed in Nashville
According to documents accessed by People magazine, Olivia Jean went to the Nashville court on June 3 to request a divorce. In the letter, he alleges irreconcilable differences and points out that the musician’s behavior constituted an “unsafe and improper coexistence.”
The singer also did not offer additional details about that behavior, but the lawsuit describes the situation as “inappropriate marriage.”
Financial requests
In addition to the dissolution of the bond, Jean asks for alimony, that White continue paying his medical insurance and that she remain the beneficiary of the guitarist’s life insurance. She argues that she depends on him financially.
Musician’s background
This is the third divorce for Jack White, 50. He was previously married to Meg White, his partner in The White Stripes, and to the singer and model Karen Elson, with whom he has two children.
So far, neither party has made public statements about the end of the marriage.
