Bleachers frontman Jack Antonoff can officially joke about the status of his marriage.
The 42-year-old singer alluded to his reported separation from "The Substance" star Margaret Qualley in video captured by USA TODAY from Bleachers' final concert of their five-night residency at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California, on Sept. 15.
When a fan called out a song suggestion for "Let's Get Married" off the band's 2017 album "Gone Now," Antonoff fired back: "Absolutely not." He added, "Read the news, brother."
Softening his tone, the singer-producer said, "I love that song. I wrote it, like, 11 years ago."
What we know about Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff's reported separation
On July 8, People reported that Qualley and the sought-after music producer were separating nearly three years after they married in New Jersey's
Beach Haven on Long Beach Island. Two days later, Qualley's representative issued a statement to the magazine denying "narratives running in the press" regarding "trust issues" and "infidelity."
"They have deep love and care for one another," the statement continued. "There are only two people in this marriage, and the sources who are talking to the press and commenting on their relationship are not people who know them. Please respect their privacy."
The Bleachers Forever tour is on the road through the end of the year in promotion of their latest album, "Everyone for Ten Minutes," which released in May. The track "dirty wedding dress," which debuted in March, references a wedding in August on the shore where "the neighbors all lost their minds" and "we have to board up all the windows and shoot out the drones."
In a newsletter accompanying the single's release, Antonoff reportedly explained, "I got married in the town I spent every summer in since I was born. Was the best day of my life." But he lamented that the event, which boasted a starry guest list that included Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey, "got swarmed" by "run of the mill weekender" tourists "coming to stare at people."
The song suggests, "I think it's time that we talked" because "there's too many interlopers that are showin' up." It adds, "'Cause when the past makes you wanna die a little / And dyin' makes you wanna work / Well, then how we gonna find any room to have a life?"
