Heated Dispute Amidst Jack White's Health Struggles: Ex-Wife's Claims Against Current Spouse

Ex-wives of Jack White involved in a dispute.

In the midst of music producer Jack White's recent health challenges, a tussle between his ex-wife Marie-Louise Gassen and his current wife Rafaella Nußbaum has surfaced. The focal point? Contact restrictions and, surprise surprise, money.

Known for hits like "Looking for Freedom," White, also recognized as Horst Nußbaum, is currently recuperating from a stroke. While he battles back to health, his family is embroiled in a heated argument. At the heart of this drama are his ex-wife Marie-Louise Gassen and his current partner Rafaella Nußbaum, who are trading bitter jibes.

Gassen, married to White from 1980 to 1992, accuses Nußbaum in a Bild newspaper interview of hindering contact between White and his children: "Rafaella prevents anyone from getting near Jack. Our daughter Antonia can't reach him, nor can the other four kids from his previous marriages. Rafaella has prohibited it. It's a total mess!" She expresses terrible sorrow that Antonia, now 41, hasn't seen her father in years and is terribly worried.

White himself experienced a serious fall, plunged into a coma, and was admitted to intensive care. Even with his precarious recovery, he also suffered a stroke. The household employee called for paramedics while White's wife was not in Berlin. Since then, the 84-year-old has been recuperating in the hospital, far from his family, according to Marie-Louise Gassen.

But Does It Extend to Other Children Too?

Even White's other children - Frank and Pia from his marriage to Else Stärken, and Gloria and Ella from his marriage to Janine White - are reported to have no contact with their father. Bild newspaper writes that a communication blockage was enforced in December 2024, affecting family members as well.

Beyond Contact: Money Matters?

Gassen also accuses Nußbaum of squandering White's fortune. "She spends his money like water, goes on fancy trips and parties with friends. She spends 30,000 to 50,000 euros every month, always after his money!" Gassen worries that Nußbaum might now drain the musician's accounts, as she holds a power of attorney.

The 38-year-old Nußbaum vehemently denies the accusations and counter-attacks: "Marie-Louise is a spiteful, malicious woman who perpetually invents lies about me." She claims that Gassen has her own financial problems and has caused distress for their daughter Antonia.
