The White Stripes Break Up: Meg & Jack White Quit

“Karen Elson and Jack White announce that they are getting divorced,” the two say in a joint statement released by their rep. “We remain dear and trusted friends and co-parents to our wonderful children Scarlett and Henry Lee. We feel so fortunate for the time we have shared and the time we will continue to spend both separately and together watching our children grow.”

“In honor of that time shared, we are throwing a divorce party,” the two say in their statement. “An evening together in Nashville to re-affirm our friendship and celebrate the past and future with close friends and family.” Adding, “This is only for close personal friends and family. So please no plus ones or dead beats.”

The 35 year-old The White Stripes musician and the 32 year-old model met when she appeared in the “Blue Orchid” music video. They tied the knot in a romantic ceremony in Manaus, Brazil a couple of months later in June of 2005. Jack’s ex-wife/bandmate, Meg White, was the maid of honor.

Jack and Karen have two children together, 5 year-old Scarlett Teresa and 4 year-old Henry Lee. The two will remain good friends and continue to be focused on raising the kids.

Congratulations to Jack and Karen for the most civilized divorce of all time!
