A Family Feud Erupts: Jack White's Ex-Wife Marie-Louise Gassen and Current Wife Rafaella Nussbaum in a Heated Dispute
Ex-wives of Jack White engaged in a confrontation
Get the latest scoop on the controversial drama unfolding in Jack White's life! As the music producer, known famously as Horst Nussbaum, grapples with health setbacks and recovery from a stroke, his family finds themselves embroiled in a bitter sibling rivalry.
At the heart of the dispute are Jack White's ex-wife, Marie-Louise Gassen—to whom he was married from 1980 to 1992—and his current wife, Rafaella Nussbaum. No holds are barred in this acrimonious exchange, with accusations flying about contact bans and, as always, money.
In an interview with Bild newspaper, Gassen alleges that Rafaella Nussbaum hinders contact between White and their children. "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 big mess!" she laments. Gassen shares that it's particularly distressing that Antonia, now 41, hasn't seen her father in years and has grave concerns for his well-being.
White’s health woes began with a serious fall that left him in a coma and in intensive care. As he was slowly recuperating, another catastrophe struck when he suffered a stroke. While he was recovering in the hospital, allegedly isolated from his family according to Marie-Louise Gassen, his wife at the time was not in Berlin.
Are Other Children Also Cut Off?
In addition to Antonia and the other children from Jack White's previous marriages, it is said that his children from his marriage to Else Starke (Frank and Pia) and Janine White (Gloria and Ella) are also estranged from their father. According to Bild newspaper reporting in 2024, a gag order was imposed, affecting family members in a similar manner.

The drama doesn't stop there. Gassen also accuses Rafaella Nussbaum of frivolously spending her husband's fortune. "She spends his money like water, goes on trips, and parties with her friends. She spends between 30,000 to 50,000 euros a month, always chasing his money!" Gassen fears that Nussbaum might empty White's accounts now that she holds power of attorney.
Rafaella Nussbaum, 38, denies the accusations and counters with accusations of her own: "Marie-Louise is a bitter, malicious woman who frequently concocts lies about me." She alleges that Gassen has her own financial woes and has affected her daughter Antonia.
As of now, neither Jack White's family nor his representatives have offered official statements regarding the reported feud between his ex-wife Marie-Louise Gassen and current wife Rafaella Nussbaum.
