Their teenage daughter apparently plans to follow in her parents’ footsteps, as she is already signed to DNA Models.

She is Scarlett White, the daughter of rock singer Jack White of The White Stripes and his ex-wife, model and singer Karen Elson.
In her new TikTok, the showbiz legacy was seen dancing to the Clash’s 1981 classic Should I Stay Or Should I Go.
Channeling her parents’ sense of style, she was wrapped in a striped faux fur coat and adorned with a cheerful burgundy hat, sharpening her features with deep red lipstick.
Jack rose to international fame as part of The White Stripes, a musical duo consisting of him and his first wife Meg White.
Although Jack and Meg divorced in 2000, the band managed to survive the marriage and continued to perform together until 2011.
During the height of his White Stripes fame, he also collaborated with artists such as country legend Loretta Lynn and folk icon Bob Dylan.
Jack and Alicia Keys recorded the James Bond theme Another Way To Die, the opening track for the 2008 release Quantum Of Solace.
Two years ago, Scarlett joined Jack on stage at The Blue Room in Nashville to sing a duet of his 2003 White Stripes song, The Hardest Button To Button.

Jack was married to Karen from 2005 to 2013 and they share two children: Scarlett and a 17-year-old son named Henry.
Karen has had a top career as a model, appearing on the catwalk for Dolce & Gabbana, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Tom Ford, Gucci and more.
Some of the world’s most famous fashion photographers have captured her, including Helmut Newton, Patrick Demarchelier, Mario Testino and Arthur Elgort.
She was part of the dazzling line-up of British models who took to the stage at the closing ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics, alongside the likes of Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Stella Tennant and Jourdan Dunn.
Karen began singing and songwriting by founding the political cabaret group the Citizens Band, formed in response to the 2004 re-election of George W. Bush.
Based in New York, the group has a rotating cast that has included celebrities over the years such as Zoe Kravitz, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Zooey Deschanel.
A few years ago, Jack shared that both children he shares with Karen inherited their parents’ passion for music.
‘They are huge music fans. And they’re exposed to so much music around them, so many living rooms full of bluegrass musicians – Radiohead recording in the backyard – or Loretta Lynn coming over to sing something,” he said. Esquire.
Karen is now married to Lee Foster, owner of Electric Lady Studios, who she is pictured with in November 2023, shortly before they announced their engagement
Meanwhile, Jack is married to garage rock singer Olivia Jean, who he tied the knot with in 2022 just minutes after proposing to her on stage
“And when you’re younger, you almost want to say to them, ‘Oh my God, that’s Wanda Jackson just talking to you! Do you know that?’ It’s hard to have perspective because their perspective is already so fickle.”
In the same interview, Jack explained that he has rearranged his touring schedule to better fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
“I changed the way I toured when my kids were born and I still use that method, which is to try to make everything two weeks on and two weeks off as much as possible,” the rock singer said.
‘It’s a really bad move from a business perspective, because you only make a profit on a tour after a week and a half, but if I hadn’t been able to do that, I would have just said: ‘Well, then I just won. I’m not going on tour anymore because I have children.” And I think it worked out.’
He acknowledged, “Nothing will be perfect. We have a family where the mother is a model and the father is a musician. Planning is not the number one hit on the chart.”
Meanwhile, Karen has spoken candidly about how her own profession in the fashion industry has influenced the way she raised Scarlett.
‘I recognize the responsibility I have, working in the fashion world [being] surrounded by people who represent the standard of beauty,” she said.
‘This is a very strange and special life that I have, and that of her father too [Jack White of The White Stripes] has,” she admitted Maisonette.

“It’s our job to educate her, to show her that no job completely defines you. You don’t see that real beauty in a magazine. It is character, goodness and emotional intelligence that radiates from within.”
She also shared that she and Jack now have an amicable co-parenting relationship, even though their divorce didn’t go as they initially hoped.
‘Every divorce has its challenging moments. We tried to do the Goopy-conscious uncoupling thing first,” she shared Harper’s Bazaar UK.
She was referring to Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow’s infamous term “conscious uncoupling,” which she coined to widespread ridicule in 2014 when she announced her divorce from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.
“That all fell apart, but now I can say with all my heart that my ex-husband is a dear friend and someone I love,” Karen said.
“I look at him and think, ‘You are my family.’ I know him as “Dad,” I roll my eyes when his dad makes jokes, and I give him advice when our teens give him grief. Our relationship is purely that of parents.’
Karen is now married to Lee Foster, owner of Electric Lady Studios, while Jack is married to Olivia Jean, the frontwoman of all-female garage rock group The Black Belles.
