What Happened? Margaret Qualley & Jack Antonoff Call It Quits

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
Hey babes, it's Paris Hilton. So I was checking my points balance in the Hilton Honors app the other day, and yeah, I've got about a billion, which feels excessive, even for me. Just kidding, you can never have too many Hilton Honors points. And I wanna do something iconic this summer, so I'm giving away all my Paris points. Just find somewhere you've always wanted to stay, then go to my socials or Hilton's and tell me about it. Just make sure you're a Hilton Honors member, and I might be sending you Paris points, because when you want points that make your summer even hotter, it matters where you stay.

I'm Cara Rainwater.

**Branson Cork** (0:43)
Welcome back.

**Cara Rainwater** (0:44)
I'm back again.

**Branson Cork** (0:44)
I know. Gosh, people loved you so much that we had to have you back.
And I had to call your agent. I had to contact your rep this morning. It was a whole thing.

**Cara Rainwater** (0:53)
I was booked and busy, but you got me.

**Branson Cork** (0:56)
Yes, I know.

**Cara Rainwater** (0:57)
All good.

**Branson Cork** (0:58)
Yeah, your hourly rate is a little too high. You know, a little too high, honestly. Well, welcome back.
So if you're new here, by the way, this is The TMZ Afternoon Podcast. I feel like I need to remind people about this because we do one in the morning, The TMZ Podcast, and then one in the afternoon where we update you on all the stories throughout the day that you may have missed because we come in bright and early. We hit you with the breaking news, but a lot happens in the middle of the day. And yes, it did. So we got a variety of stories for you today. First off, as you see on the thumbnail, we're going to be talking about Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff splitting. Did you see this coming?

**Cara Rainwater** (1:38)
Yeah. Well, actually, no, I didn't see it coming, but it's been three years since they were together.
It sucks. It's tough.

**Branson Cork** (1:43)
Breaking up is never easy.

**Cara Rainwater** (1:44)
Three years is a long time to be married, yeah. It is. Well, it's not that much.

**Branson Cork** (1:47)
I disagree.

**Cara Rainwater** (1:48)
Well, in a relationship just in general, three years, that can feel like forever when you love somebody.

**Branson Cork** (1:53)
We'll give you all the juicy details that we have, at least right now, and a little shocking detail about that, that as of this morning, he had his wedding ring on. So we will see. We're also going to be talking about your favorite bachelorette, not bachelorette, technically, Taylor Frankie-Paul. Her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortenson, is now speaking out about some text messages about her, talking about their son and everything, and about how she thinks that his cries are, quote unquote, annoying.
We'll get into that. Gosh.

**Cara Rainwater** (2:26)
Bad news.

**Branson Cork** (2:27)
This is not good because we were almost going to get the bachelorette season.

**Cara Rainwater** (2:31)
Now it's over with. We're never going to get it.

**Branson Cork** (2:34)
We're never going to get it.

**Cara Rainwater** (2:35)
Might as well give it up.

**Branson Cork** (2:36)
I'm still hopeful. I still want to see it. In no way advocating for her actions and everything, but I do want to see it and I think it will do well because people have morbid curiosity.
Then to finish off, we will talk about Bunnie XO, Jelly Roll's ex-girlfriend, if you haven't been following this whole saga. They split, he filed for divorce, but they were very open about it, said everything's okay, he's dating now and she's okay with it, fighting to his DMs, she said, but now it looks like she's getting ahead and getting into some biz of her own.

**Cara Rainwater** (3:06)
As she should.

**Branson Cork** (3:07)
Not just in her own privacy, but at his own bar.

**Cara Rainwater** (3:10)
Now that's a little messy, but we'll get into it.

**Branson Cork** (3:12)
Not a little.
A lot, yes. What are they saying, dumb and dumber? A lot. Sam, you know what I'm talking about. Okay, all right, first story here. Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff have reportedly separated after three long years.

**Cara Rainwater** (3:29)
Yes.

**Branson Cork** (3:30)
Three short years of marriage. So People was first to report the news.
So we don't have too many details, but what we do know is that it's reported that the couple had recently hit a rough patch before deciding to separate. When did you notice something was wrong?
