Feud Erupts Amidst Heath Setbacks: Jack White's Ex-Wife and Current Wife Clash
Divorced Spouses of Musician Jack White Engage in Contention
Bouncing back from a fall, coma, and stroke, music legend Jack White—alias Horst Nußbaum, known for hits like "Looking for Freedom"—finds himself in the midst of a family feud. The centerstage is occupied by his ex-wife, Marie-Louise Gassen, and current wife, Rafaella Nußbaum, who are trading heated accusations, primarily focusing on contact restrictions and funds.
As Jack regains consciousness from a hospital bed, his family seems to be anything but united. Gassen, his first wife from 1980 to 1992, claims in an interview with Bild that Rafaella Nußbaum prevents Jack from maintaining contact with his children. She laments, "Rafaella doesn't let anyone near Jack. Our daughter Antonia can't call him, nor can the other four children from Jack's previous marriages. Rafaella has forbidden it. It's a mess!" Concerned for Antonia's emotional well-being, Gassen shares her anguish about her daughter not having seen her father in years.
The 84-year-old White's health turmoil didn't end with the fall. He reportedly slipped into a coma and was rushed to intensive care. The housekeeper called emergency services while his wife was away from Berlin. Ever since, Jack has been recuperating in the hospital, allegedly cut off from his family, according to Marie-Louise Gassen.
Beyond Children: Rest of the Family Left Out Too?
White's offspring—Frank and Pia from his marriage to Else Stärken, and Gloria and Ella from his union with Janine White—may also be starved of fatherly affection, according to Bild's report. The outlet mentions that a gag order was imposed in December 2024, extending to family members.
Financial Implications: A Bitter War of Words
Gassen also raises concerns about Rafaella Nußbaum's handling of their shared finances. "She spends Jack's money as if it's going out of style, goes on extravagant trips, and parties with friends. She spends anywhere between 30,000–50,000 euros a month, and it seems she only has an eye for his cash!" Gassen fears that Rafaella may empty Jack's bank accounts due to her power of attorney.
Rafaella Nußbaum, 38, vehemently denies the allegations, countering that Gassen is a vindictive, malicious woman who relentlessly invents falsehoods about her. She alleges that Gassen is grappling with financial problems of her own and has caused harm to her daughter Antonia.
