Inside The Bear star Jeremy Allen White's divorce drama

Jeremy Allen White celebrated for his captivating performance in FX's hit series The Bear, and his wife, actress Addison Timlin, called it quits in May 2023, marking an unexpected end to their three-year marriage. The couple, known for their deep connection since their teenage years, officially tied the knot in a private ceremony in Beverly Hills back in October 2019. They celebrated their union with close friends, including stars like Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin.

White and Timlin's journey, beginning in their adolescence, has been nothing short of a Hollywood fairy tale. Their story, as recounted by Timlin in a heartfelt Instagram tribute, started when they were just 14, with Timlin being mesmerized by White's performance in a drama class. She famously wrote, "I couldn’t take my eyes off you... I just knew that the world was about to discover what I’ve known all along.” This deep-seated connection seemed to predict a lifetime together.

Rising stardom and the strain of the spotlight

White, initially known for his role in Showtime's Shameless, saw his career skyrocket with The Bear. His portrayal of the bad boy chef Carmy not only won him a Golden Globe but also captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. In his Golden Globe acceptance speech, he lovingly thanked Timlin, expressing, "I love you deep in my bones, thank you for all that you do, thank you for everything that you’ve done.” However, despite their public displays of affection and White's growing fame, the couple maintained a healthy distance from the Hollywood limelight, as White once told People, "I have a pretty healthy distance from it all. And my wife does as well. So, I think that’s a good thing."
