Qualley and Antonoff married in August 2023, a ceremony attended by Swift. In a February 2025 Vanity Fair interview, Qualley described Antonoff as her “person,” reaffirming their bond. She later reiterated similar sentiments in an August 2025 Cosmopolitan cover story.

Since April 2024, Qualley has been on location in Arkansas shooting Jeff Nichols’ supernatural horror film *King Snake*, co-starring Michael Shannon and Drew Starkey. Deadline reported that she was “likely still shooting” the movie at the time of the wedding.

Neither Qualley nor Antonoff issued a comment on her absence. Qualley’s Vanity Fair interview emphasized her ongoing affection for Antonoff, while Deadline’s report linked her non-attendance to the *King Snake* production schedule. Swift’s presence at the Antonoff-Qualley wedding and at the Kelce-Swift ceremony underscores the couple’s close ties.

Social-media accounts, notably DeuxMoi, claimed Qualley was in Kingston, New York, “at a restaurant … with her friend and dog” on July 4, and had been seen in Woodstock on July 2. Fans interpreted Antonoff’s solo attendance as a possible split, despite the lack of corroborating evidence. Some observers noted that *King Snake* reportedly wrapped filming a month earlier, questioning the work-commitment explanation.

The narrative contains contradictory information: Deadline suggests ongoing filming, while fan-sourced sightings place Qualley in New York during the wedding weekend. No independent verification of the Kingston or Woodstock sightings exists, and no official source has confirmed either a split or the exact filming timeline.
