Singer Olivia Jean has filed for divorce from her husband, The White Stripes<\/a> rocker Jack White, more than three years after they married on stage in front of fans.<\/p>\n

Jean, 36, cited irreconcilable differences<\/a> and \u201cinappropriate marital conduct<\/a>\u201d in filings seen by People<\/a>, alleging White, 50, is \u201cguilty of inappropriate marital conduct, which makes further cohabitation unsafe and improper.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Tennessee<\/a>, where Jean filed, \u201cinappropriate marital conduct<\/a>\u201d is the most cited fault-based grounds for divorce.<\/p>\n

Nine.com.au has reached out to representatives for White for comment. <\/p>\n

The couple married on stage in Detroit in December 2022, moments after White proposed in front of the crowd.<\/p>\n

Jean\u2019s filing stated she was \u201cdependent on [White\u2019s] income\u201d and requested spousal maintenance and that he continued to pay for her insurance.<\/p>\n

This was White\u2019s third marriage.<\/p>\n

He had previously been married to his White Stripes bandmate Meg White, 51, from 1996 to 2000 and English model Karen Elson from 2005 to 2013.<\/p>\n

In 2022, he told Variety<\/a> he loved the unique way his and Jean\u2019s marriage began.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud that that\u2019s how we got married, because it felt real and romantic, and it wasn\u2019t pre-planned or fake,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

White also gave Jean a shoutout during the White Stripes induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in November.<\/p>\n

\u201cI myself thank all my brothers and sisters and parents for adding pieces to my life and to help push me forward, and for letting me make all that noise in the house all the time growing up,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I thank my children, Scarlett, Henry Lee, and my wife, Olivia Jean, for also pushing me to make all that noise in the house nowadays.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Singer Olivia Jean has filed for divorce from her husband, The White Stripes rocker Jack White, more than…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":492976,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-492975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492975"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492975\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/492976"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
