Jack Antonoff opens up about his and Margaret Qualley’s special day.
The Bleachers frontman, 39, appeared as a guest and performer on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday and spoke to the talk show host about marrying the actress, 29, back in August.
The producer revealed that he thought the ceremony – attended by family and a number of famous friends including Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz – would be easy until he found himself alone at the altar. “I had this idea — like, I’m performing, so I don’t care — I just want to be married to her. It hurts me,” Antonoff said on the late night show.

“I perform, so I’m not one of these people … I don’t care, I can do anything, I don’t mind being here, I don’t mind being on stage — I’m not too phased,” he continued. “And then as soon as I got up there, it was the ultimate – it was the most alone in my life, in a way, because my bride hadn’t come out yet.”

The Grammy winner shared that for a moment he felt embarrassed to be alone in that situation because he wasn’t able to be an entertainer and do any “little things.” He added: “It was the first time I was just frozen and it felt like 30 years of cynicism was coming out of my body.”
Once Antonoff saw Maidservant star, all anxieties are gone. The musician shared: “It was beautiful and it was every cliché and I melted and broke down in a very sweet way.”

The “Rollercoaster” singer and the Golden Globe-nominated actress said “I do” in his native New Jersey on August 19. They tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony and celebrated at an after-wedding party – which was also attended by Qualley’s mother Andie MacDowell and sister Rainey Qualley. For the reception, Antonoff wore a black suit and tie, while Qualley wore a custom white halter Chanel wedding dress and the same custom white Chanel Mary Jane shoes.
The couple started dating in summer 2021 and got engaged in May 2022.
The newlyweds appeared to be in a blissful honeymoon phase when they were photographed for the first time since their wedding while walking around New York in late August.
