Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff kept their romance under the radar before confirming their engagement in May 2022.
The twosome were first linked in August 2021 following the Maid star’s brief relationships with Pete Davidson and Shia LaBeouf. The Bleachers singer, for his part, previously dated Lena Dunham from 2012 to 2018.
Nearly two years after Antonoff and Dunham went their separate ways, he was spotted packing on the PDA with Qualley. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actress — who is the daughter of Andie MacDowell and Paul Qualley — later joked about the “terrifying” experience of meeting Antonoff’s parents, telling Another magazine in March 2022, “[I thought], ‘Please like me, please like me, this is so important, please.’”
