Jack White Got Engaged on Stage in Detroit

Jack White capped off a legendary day in his hometown on Friday by getting engaged AND married on stage to his girlfriend, singer Olivia Jean, in front of a sold-out crowd at Detroit’s Masonic Temple on the first night of his Supply Chain Issues tour.

After White brought Jean on stage for a duet of the White Stripes’ 2001 song “Hotel Yorba,” he introduced Jean to the crowd as his girlfriend, and then told her he had a question for her.

Caught by surprise, it was a yes from Jean, but then White stepped it up and a small group (including White’s bandmates, White’s mother, Teresa Gillis, and Jean’s father, Brent Markel) gathered on stage as the two got married on the spot.

It was the icing on the cake for a day that saw White release his new solo album, “Fear of the Dawn,” performed the “Star-Spangled Banner” at the Detroit Tigers Opening Day game at Comerica Park.
