Jeremy Allen White and Addison Timlin's Journey From Teen Love to Marriage Makes Their Split Brutal

White and Timlin met when White transferred to Timlin's performing-arts high school in NYC in the middle of their freshman year, a moment Timlin described as "love at first sight" during their joint interview for a July 2019 episode of the "Showmance" podcast. "He has really blue eyes and his blue shirt brought out the blue eyes. And he had really long hair, and that was really cool," Timlin said. "He came in hot, so to speak, and [me and my classmates] were all so in love with him."

While the pair didn't date because Timlin had an off-and-on boyfriend at the time and, well, they were awkward 13-year-olds, they still became inseparable. "We spent all our time together. We cut school together. We got in trouble together, smoked pot together," Timlin said.

When Timlin decided to transfer schools when she was 15, the pair got into a fight fueled by teenage angst. "I had just transferred midway through the year, we connected, and then she was like, 'Bye! See ya later!' And was just like, 'But I just found you!'" White said of their falling out. "She did go to school like 20 blocks away," he added, acknowledging the whole thing might have been a tad dramatic.

As fate would have it, White and Timlin were brought back into one another's lives when they were both cast in the 2008 movie "Afterschool," alongside Ezra Miller. Both were 17 at the time.

"The universe never really let us separate," Timlin said of the serendipitous nature of their "Afterschool" audition during their "Showmance" interview.

"I was like, 'F*ck this chick,'" White said, recounting how he felt when he realized he'd have to do a chemistry read with his first love. "I was so mad at the director. I was like, 'You can't, man. You can't.'"

"I, like, aired our dirty laundry in the room," Timlin said. "And then the director was like, 'I love it!' Of course," White added. Timlin continued, "He was so mad at me, and I was like, 'Well I just got us the part, didn't I!'"

The pair ended up briefly moving in together when they were 18, around the time they starred in "Afterschool."

White and Timlin would stay in each other's lives, albeit off and on, for the next several years, as they filmed their separate projects and experienced loving relationships with other people. "We would have to take deliberate separation," Timlin explained on "Showmance." "But when everything was right, it was right."

In a 2016 Instagram post, the "Little Sister" actress confirmed they were officially dating. Introducing White as her beau, Timlin shared a candid selfie of them lounging indoors. "Welcome to Instagram to my ride or die guy @jeremyallenwhitefinally," she wrote alongside the adorable picture.

To mark her 27th birthday, Timlin revealed the exciting news that the couple were expecting their first child together. "We made a baby and my heart is bursting at the seams. Today is my birthday but my wish already came true. This is 27 and the best is yet to come," she captioned the image of the expecting parents.

On Oct. 20, 2018, the pair welcomed their baby girl, Ezer Billie White. The actress shared the good news on her Instagram page, with the first-time parents adoringly holding their newborn. "Welcome to the world baby girl, it just got so much brighter," the caption read.

The duo took their relationship status to the next level by getting engaged in April 2019.

In an intimate ceremony, witnessed by the "Fallen" star's close friend — and godmother to both her daughters — Dakota Johnson and her longtime partner, Chris Martin, White and Timlin exchanged vows at the Beverly Hills Courthouse in Los Angeles. The bride and groom forwent tradition and wore matching denim jackets with their nicknames for one another sewn on the back. Their 1-year-old daughter was also in attendance.

A year after their sweet wedding, on Oct. 18, 2020, Timlin shared that the married couple were about to become parents for the second time. On Dec. 12, 2020, they became a family of four with the sweetest addition of their second baby, a daughter named Dolores Wild White.

"Dolores Wild White- born 12/12/2020, just in time to save the year. She is the answer to 1000 prayers and we are in love with her," Timlin wrote on Instagram with a picture of her breastfeeding their newborn. She expressed her excitement over her growing family with a shout-out to her husband and first daughter, Ezer. "Thank you Ezer for your patience and wisdom — you're the best big sister ever and finally to my husband, you are everything. We did it baby," she added.

For their second wedding anniversary, Timlin dropped a sweet picture of their growing brood with an emotional message, writing, "Happy anniversary baby. My favorite thing on planet earth (besides our kids) is saying 'my husband.' You are the greatest person I've ever met and you make my life seem touched by God. I know you think this public display of affection is goofy but there isn't a rooftop I won't shout it from, I love you!! This year was hard but we love harder."

Celebrating the 31st birthday of his wife, White shared a heartfelt birthday post on Instagram alongside a goofy snap of Timlin holding their giggling daughter. "Superstar! My number one. It's your birthday today. Thanks for being the gift that keeps on giving. Thanks for taking care of so many of us. You've been at the center of my life for so long now, I can't remember much before, I'm lucky for it. You're my whole heart. Happy birthday," he shared.

The cute couple graced the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of White's hit FX drama "The Bear." Timlin proudly gushed about her husband's awe-inspiring performance in the hit show. "Today is the day 'The Bear' comes out of the brilliant minds and open hearts and onto your tv screen. It is always a privilege to witness the work Jeremy puts in and the result will always take my breathe away," the actress shared on Instagram when "The Bear" premiered. "Congratulations to the whole team but to Jeremy especially, watching your dreams come true will always put a fire in my heart. I am infinitely proud and also very pleased to turn to you and say-I told you so."

When White won best TV actor in a musical/comedy series at the 2023 Golden Globes, he closed out his impassioned speech with a proclamation of love to Timlin, who was in attendance. "Addison Timlin," he said, "I love you deep in my bones. Thank you for all you do. Thank you for everything you do."

Timlin filed for divorce from White on May 11 after three years of marriage, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles and obtained by POPSUGAR. Neither White nor Timlin has addressed the divorce publicly.
