Jack Antonoff was at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce\u2019s wedding. The surprise is that he was there with his sister and not his wife, Margaret Qualley. After all, Taylor was a guest at their wedding a few years ago, so Margaret\u2019s absence has sparked days of online speculation over whether or not she and Jack are actually over, with people digging into her social media for clues about their marriage.<\/p>\n

It could be as simple as\u2026 she was working, she\u2019s busy. But according to social media detectives, Margaret has removed photos of herself and Jack at their wedding from her Instagram account. I don\u2019t have the digital forensics on this, so I can\u2019t verify if this is accurate but we\u2019re dealing with a whole package of circumstantial evidence here that the online sleuths are fixated on. Like Margaret hanging out with Drew Starkey \u2013 who is HOT AF \u2013 after they wrapped on a movie. And also rumours supposedly floating around LA that she and Jack are often seen fighting in public.<\/p>\n

On top of all this, there\u2019s the public perception of Jack that\u2019s been shaped by so much of Lena Dunham\u2019s writing (on the page and onscreen) and the lore that\u2019s followed their relationship. Example: the powerpoint<\/a>,\u00a0 IYKYK. In her book, Famesick<\/em>, released in April, Lena writes in at times granular and uncomfortable detail about how she and Jack fell apart. And even if you don\u2019t consider the, um, \u201cteen popstar\u201d who is mentioned, Jack comes off as someone who can be, as Taylor Swift might say, \u201ccasually cruel in the name of being honest\u201d, and manipulatively insecure. For those leaning towards that read of it, that description can be further supported by the ex-boyfriend character in Too Much<\/em>, \u201cZev\u201d, who wasn\u2019t just unfaithful but is also an emotional vulture, centering his own feelings while diminishing Jessica\u2019s (played by Megan Stalter).<\/p>\n

Is it fair to perceive Jack Antonoff only through the lens of his ex-partner? No. Aren\u2019t we all perceived differently by the different people in our lives? Of course. On the internet, though, we are all assigned personalities without nuance, and celebrities even more so. I\u2019m not here to defend Jack Antonoff, my point is that this is how he has now been characterised online, even with the formidable protection of Taylor Swift. So there\u2019s some schadenfreude happening with all these rumours about his marriage and whether or not he and Margaret might be estranged.<\/p>\n

As for Drew Starkey, who is the person I am most interested in in this equation, up to now the only famous person he\u2019s been linked with is Odessa A\u2019Zion and it\u2019s been at least two years, with neither of them ever confirming that they were actually dating, even though the internet has been convinced. All of that has mellowed out and now he\u2019s either in some kind of situation with Margaret or just catching strays from this alleged mess between Margaret and Jack.<\/p>
