Rock Icon Jack White Shocks Fans: First Cell Phone at 50!
ROCK STAR REVEALED: Jack White's 50th Birthday Surprise is a Real-Life Fairy Tale!
In a shocking turn of events, The White Stripes' frontman Jack White has finally succumbed to the modern era and gotten his first-ever cell phone - courtesy of his stunning wife Olivia Jean! The musician turned 50 on Wednesday, and in celebration, he shared a gallery of snaps showcasing his new gadget with his whopping 859K followers.
The caption read: "Well y'all it's either all over for me now or just the beginning. I am now the reluctant owner of a cellular telephone for the first time in my life! A lovely 50th birthday present courtesy of my gorgeous and thoughtful wife Mrs. Olivia Jean (who took these photos as well.)" Talk about a belated birthday gift!
Jack's confession comes after years of resisting the allure of modern technology. He revealed that he's been struggling to keep up with the times, citing issues like not being able to listen to his own music in his car or parking at a lot without QR codes. It seems Olivia decided to put him out of his misery and gift him a cell phone - and what a thoughtful wife she is!
But Jack's journey to this milestone birthday wasn't without its romantic overtures. In 2022, he proposed to then-girlfriend Olivia on stage during a concert at the Masonic Temple in Detroit - and then married her just minutes later! The proposal was as smooth as his iconic guitar riffs, with Jack bringing Olivia on stage for a duet of their hit song Hotel Yorba.
After she said "yes," Jack asked the audience if they minded him getting married right there and then. And with that, he whisked away to backstage for a quick wardrobe change before returning to seal the deal in front of the sold-out crowd. It was a fairytale romance come true!
Now, let's take a trip down memory lane. Jack has been married twice before - first to British supermodel Karen Elson from 2005 to 2013 and then to his former bandmate Meg White from 1996 to 2000. He shares two kids with Karen, daughter Scarlet Teresa, 15, and son Henry Lee, 14.
Jack's path to Olivia Jean began in 2009 when she sent him a demo of her recordings. He invited her to his Third Man Records studio, where they collaborated on music projects, including the formation of goth band The Black Belles. Although they kept their romance under wraps for a while, Olivia would often share photos of the two on Instagram - giving fans a glimpse into their whirlwind relationship.
As Jack settles into his 50s with a newfound appreciation for modern technology, we can't help but wonder what's next for this rock 'n' roll icon. Will he continue to surprise us with his quirky antics and romantic gestures? Only time will tell!
