Jack White is one of the most celebrated singer-songwriters in recent memory. He blew up the music scene in the late 90s with his band The White Stripes, which was co-founded by his now ex-wife Meg White. Interestingly, they publicly pretended to be siblings until evidence of their marriage surfaced in 2001. “When you see a band that is two pieces, husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend, you think, ‘Oh, I see…’ When they’re brother and sister, you go, ‘Oh, that’s interesting.’ You care more about the music, not the relationship — whether they’re trying to save their relationship by being in a band,” Jack told Rolling Stone in 2005, defending their faux sibling secret.
Jack is consistently surprising his fans with new music, new collaborators and new looks. On Friday (April 8), the iconic singer/songwriter had a major surprise for everyone attending his concert in Detroit: a new wife! During his show at the Masonic Temple, Jack got engaged to his girlfriend, singer Olivia Jean, and then immediately married her in front of the sold-out crowd. Jack’s third wedding follows his marriage to model and singer Karen Elson from 2005-2013, and they have a son and daughter together.
