Margaret Qualley felt 'lonely' in relationships before Jack Antonoff
The 30-year-old actress and the 41-year-old musician got married in August 2023 on Long Beach Island after first meeting 'right as COVID was ending' and Margaret knew Jack was the one because she always felt 'safe' with him.
She told Cosmopolitan magazine: 'Falling in love with Jack was the biggest feeling I've ever felt. We met right as COVID was ending, at the first party I'd been to. We saw each other on a roof, and we just started talking and never stopped. We went on a series of walks throughout the city that summer.
'In every other relationship I've ever been in, I still felt really lonely because I wasn't with my person, and it's like I was seeking something. I don't feel like that anymore. Jack makes me feel safe and comfortable.
'I spent so many years trying to be someone's perfect girl, and that girl changed over and over again. But I can't lie to Jack. I can't be that for him - he'd see through it. So, I just have to be myself. He's been the person I've pictured my whole life. And I'm not even saying that metaphorically. My first crush was Adam Sandler in Happy Gilmore and Big Daddy, and I've been looking for that essence my whole life. I'm like, 'That's Jack.''
And Margaret's sister Rainey Qualley, takes full credit for them getting together.
She said: 'I was recording at Electric Lady, where Jack Antonoff works. We'd heard he was looking for forever love. So, when there was a small party on the roof and I had a bit too much to drink, I proceeded to tell Jack that he needed to date my sister!'
Margaret also revealed Jack said 'I love you' first.
She said: 'I'm very old-school about stuff like this. I would never put myself out there first. I never text twice. I mean, now we're married and I can text him anything at any time. We're always having a conversation; he's like my human diary. But before we were together, at the beginning, I would always follow Southern girl etiquette.'
And, she shared her hopes of having children with Jack, saying: 'I want kids. I'm not there this second - I know there's a lot of stuff I don't know - but I've always wanted kids. Even as a little kid, I would imagine having babies.'

Clean Bandit's Grace Chatto reveals toll teenage drug use took on her speech
Clean Bandit star Grace Chatto has claimed taking drugs as a teenager left her with slower speech. The 39-year-old cellist for the Grammy winning group shared some previously unknown facts about herself in a TikTok post, including how her drug use impacted her brain, and not being able to get car insurance because of a driving ban. She typed on a picture of herself looking into a mirror: 'I speak so slowly because I took too many drugs when I was a teenager.' She wrote: 'I can't get car insurance because I had a driving ban.' Grace also admitted she "ghosted all my friends", "can't get out of bed", and is "socially awkward". The Rather Be hitmaker used her band's latest song, Believe - featuring South African artist Lloyiso - to soundtrack the post. Upon swiping right, a second mirror shot showed her with "luscious locks" after saying her hair is "like hay". She typed on that picture: 'But I believe in us. Won a Grammy, gratitude for all that I have, I am strong, I'm nice, I am honest.' Meanwhile, Clean Bandit loved working with the Idols South Africa star Lloyiso so much, they haven't ruled out him joining the band as a permanent singer. Founding member Jack Patterson recently told when asked if he could lead the band full-time: 'Maybe Lloyiso. Never before but maybe now.' Grace hopes bandmates Jack and Luke Patterson make an album with Lloyiso. She said: "Jack is going to the Burning Man Festival, and we are trying to convince Lloyiso to go with him so they can write an album with him." Clean Bandit have never had a constant singer and have recruited the likes of Anne-Marie, Jess Glynne and Zara Larsson to front their tunes in the past. Grace said of working Lloyiso: "This is the most organic collaboration we have ever done I think, because we were in South Africa in Cape Town, and we met Lloyiso quite randomly after a performance. His friends, these two producers called 'The Imports' asked us to stay out here. We were meant to fly back to London to write some songs, and Jack and Luke did go back to London, so I went on my own and we all stayed in this big house, and we made writing rooms in every bedroom. I always like to be in bed, so it was perfect to be in bed. We had keyboards all over the bed, and guitars and everything, and we started a beat, and Lloyiso just came out with an incredible melody that became the chorus, and I have never heard such a beautiful voice. It was so moving, and I said, 'sing it again', and voice-noted it to send to Jack who had just landed in Heathrow. He went crazy and immediately wrote some chords under that melody."

Jack Osbourne's heart is 'full of so much sadness'
Jack Osbourne's heart is "full of so much sadness" following the death of his dad Ozzy Osbourne. The Black Sabbath star died on July 22 - just two weeks after he reunited with his bandmates for a huge reunion show in his hometown of Birmingham - and the tragedy left his son Jack, 39, totally devastated. He's now shared a poignant tribute to Ozzy and insisted he feels "lucky and blessed" to have him as his father. In a post on Instagram , Jack wrote: "I haven't really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. My heart has hurt too much. "I'm gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches. He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him 'Dad'. "My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing." Jack went on to share a quote from Hunter S. Thompson which he believes "best describes my father". The quote read: 'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body ... but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a ride!'" Jack concluded: "That was my dad. He lived and he lived his life fully. I love you dad." Jack's post comes days after his sister Kelly Osbourne, 40, described the death of their father as the "hardest moment of my life". T In an emotional post on her Instagram Stories on Monday (04.08.25), Kelly explained she is still trying to process her loss. She wrote: "I've sat down to write this a hundred times and still don't know if the words will ever feel like enough ... but from the bottom of my heart, thank you. "The love, support and beautiful messages I've received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain." She continued: "Grief is a strange thing - it sneaks up on you in waves - I will not be ok for a while - but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference. I'm holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind. "Thank you for being there. I love you all so much."

What lies beneath this real-life horror story
The 2000 Hollywood thriller What Lies Beneath might not have been Robert Zemeckis' finest work — a few cheap jump scares, quickly forgotten. But the real horror playing out beneath South Australia's normally pristine waters is far from fiction. It's truly terrifying. Aside from the COVID-19 pandemic, it's hard to recall a crisis in our state of this scale and gravity. A kilometres-long stretch of coastline is blanketed in thick brown foam and sludge. Entire beaches — usually teeming with swimmers, walkers, frolicking dogs and kids building sandcastles — now sit empty (because, let's face it, most of us are avoiding them like the plague). But dive deeper and the true devastation emerges. Below the surface, marine life is suffocating. Choking. Dying. Our ocean has become an underwater graveyard. Marine ecosystems so devastated, any sign of recovery seems to be drifting further away by the day. The images pouring into the Channel 7 newsroom in Adelaide are nothing short of heartbreaking. Our cameras are documenting the carnage and South Australians are sending us more every single day. Photos and videos of fish, dolphins, rays, crabs, penguins and even sharks washed up lifeless on our shores. And don't get me started on that poor fur seal found slumped gasping for air on the footpath in Brighton. Was it was trying to flee rough seas or was it another casualty of the algal bloom? We're told it's a natural event. We know it's a disaster. But somehow, in this case, one plus one doesn't equal two. Canberra still refuses to formally declare this crisis a natural disaster. The mind boggles. The blood boils and what about the South Australians whose livelihoods depend on the ocean? Our tourism operators, commercial fishers, fishmongers. They're not just watching the environment collapse, they're feeling the financial impact. And they're hurting. Will it get worse? Will our beaches be off-limits this summer? Can we safely eat what's left of the catch? Will government inaction today haunt us tomorrow? Past mismanagement, present crisis and a community demanding answers. What lies beneath? The truth, still buried.
