Are Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley still together?

Talk of a potential rift between the high-profile couple first began dominating pop-culture headlines earlier this summer. Observers were quick to point out that the pair had not been seen together at major industry events, sending internet sleuths into full investigation mode.

The split rumors escalated significantly when Qualley failed to join Antonoff at one of the summer's most talked-about events. The actress was absent when Antonoff traveled to celebrate the high-profile July wedding of his longtime friend and musical collaborator Taylor Swift to NFL star Travis Kelce.

Antonoff's solo arrival at Swift and Kelce's nuptials immediately set off alarm bells for fans. Because Antonoff and Swift share a tight bond both in and out of the recording studio, Qualley's absence at such a monumental celebration raised immediate red flags for eagle-eyed followers.
