    Margaret Qualley has made Jack Antonoff less "cynical"

    The 31-year-old actress has been married to Jack since 2023, and the record producer admits that the brunette beauty has transformed his life.


    Jack, 41, told i-D magazine: "The second I met my partner, a cynical part of me died-the very Jewish, analytical, endlessly-weighing-everything part."

    Jack has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry during his career, including Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Lorde, and Sabrina Carpenter, and he feels that he's learned a lot from some of his collaborators.

    He shared: "Sometimes you make things to escape to, and sometimes you make things that explain what it's like to be here now-Lana has a very specific gift for that.

    "We have something in common, a dedication to searching for it. Loving all the meandering paths you take to finding that thing."

    Meanwhile, Margaret recently admitted that Jack has helped to improve her confidence levels.

    The Hollywood star revealed that she now feels more confident than ever before.

    She told Vanity Fair magazine: "Gradually, now that I feel like I have more control of my life, I can kind of lean more into the sensual and the feminine.

    "Jack has helped me for sure, because he has made me feel more confident to explore all the parts of myself. But I'm also thinking about Mother Earth and the divine feminine and surrender. Those are the things I'm trying to lean into, that moment in my life."

    Margaret also confessed that she actually felt "overwhelmed" when she began her acting career.

    The film star is the daughter of actress Andie MacDowell - but Margaret initially felt uncomfortable in the entertainment industry.

    She shared: "I started working so young, and when I first started acting, I was just overwhelmed.

    "I felt like if I was fully myself, women would hate me and men would hurt me. And so that took away some of the tools that come with being a woman because I was scared."
