Who Is Jeremy Allen White's Wife? All About Addison Timlin

Jeremy Allen White and actress Addison Timlin wed in October 2019 and filed for divorce in May 2023

Jeremy Allen White and Addison Timlin have called it quits.

The actress, who wed White in 2019, filed for divorce in May 2023. The couple share two daughters: Ezer, born in 2018, and Dolores, born in 2020. White and Timlin have agreed to share joint custody of their children.

Like White, who is best known for playing bad boy intellectual Phillip "Lip" Gallagher in Showtime's Shameless and a heartthrob chef in FX's hit The Bear, Timlin is also an actor. She's starred in television shows like Californication and films such as Little Sister and That Awkward Moment. The pair even starred alongside each other in the 2008 drama Afterschool.

Here's everything to know about Jeremy Allen White's wife Addison Timlin.

She has been acting since the early-aughts

Timlin has acted on the stage as well as on the small and big screens, with credits dating back to 2000. She got her start in the national tour of Annie, in which she played various orphan roles before starring as Annie when she was 9 years old.

She played Emily Draper in the 2008 series Cashmere Mafia and Sasha Bingham in the hit series Californication in 2011. Timlin also appeared in Little Sister and starred alongside Stanley Tucci in the 2018 drama Submission.

In a February 2013 interview with Harper's Bazaar, Timlin said she didn't have a strong preference for acting in television versus film, saying, "I prefer working, period. I think that I like doing film more just because when you get a script, you have the story from start to finish, so you can really find the character's arc, and when you walk away from it, you know you're sort of powerless to what happens."

She and White both starred in the 2008 drama Afterschool

At just 17 years old, the young actors starred in the 2008 film Afterschool together.

In 2013, Timlin opened up to Harper's Bazaar about her love life, saying, "I've got a sweetheart who I will not disclose, but, yes, he'd be the guy. We have a nice foundation from being friends for a long period of time, and then it took a hard right turn into romance."

While she didn't name White in the interview, she hinted that the sweetheart she spoke of was White after all in an Instagram post years later. She captioned an image of the couple with their daughter in 2020,

"I'm so grateful for my 28th year. I married my best friend of 15 years, who happens to be the love of my life," Timlin wrote. "We have the coolest kid in the world who reveals herself to be a true weird like her parents more and more every day."

She continued: "I have beautiful friends and family that restore my soul and I feel so full of love all the time I could just cry forever. At the same time I have never felt more awake to the world and the travesties of injustice within it. I have a fire in my heart that just won't quit. 29 is gonna be loud as hell."

She shares two daughters with White

White and Timlin became parents before they were married. On Oct. 20, 2018, the two welcomed their first baby girl, Ezer Billie White.

"Welcome to the world baby girl, it just got so much brighter," Timlin wrote on Instagram alongside two photos of the newborn.

Prior to Ezer's arrival, White opened up to PEOPLE about becoming a father.

"I just want to meet her. I'm just excited to have her," he said. "I'm excited to take her home. We are going to take her home to New York for the holidays and my parents will get to meet her. It's their first grandchild. Seeing my parents see her will be incredible."

The couple announced they were expecting another child two years later, and on Dec. 12, 2020, their second daughter was born. Timlin announced the arrival of Dolores Wild White on Instagram.

"Just in time to save the year. She is the answer to 1000 prayers and we are in love with her," she wrote.

On Mother's Day 2023, Timlin shared photos of her and her daughters on Instagram. In the caption, she opened up about how being a single mom is "not how I pictured it" and "so f---ing hard."

She admitted that single mom life can be "exhausting" and "lonely," especially "when something magical happens and you have to tell yourself 'don't forget this' because there's no witness by your side."

Since splitting from White, Timlin and the actor have agreed to share joint custody of their daughters. However, there are a few caveats: White must use a Soberlink device to ensure that he is sober before he sees his kids and he must attend therapy and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings weekly.

She married White in 2019

The Little Sister actress and The Bear actor were engaged by April 2019, and they tied the knot at the Beverly Hills courthouse in Los Angeles on Oct. 18, 2019. Their pals Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin were in attendance.

Timlin shared photos on Instagram of the newlyweds beaming at each other and smooching, wearing matching black denim jackets customized with white hearts and the words "Til Death," as well as, "Buddy + Billie."

White also has the pair's pet names for each other tattooed on his arm in the center of a heart.

She's close friends with Dakota Johnson

Not only was Johnson a witness when Timlin and White exchanged vows at their intimate courthouse ceremony, but the Fifty Shades of Grey actress is also the godmother to both of Timlin and White's daughters.

On Johnson's birthday in 2021, Timlin posted a sweet Instagram tribute with a black-and-white photo of Johnson and Ezer snuggled up in the park, writing, "Happy birthday to my bright and shiny and to Ezer and Dolly's godmother. Here you are looking the most godmotherly of them all. We love you so much, thanks for being born and raising kids with me it's the best."

In 2022, Timlin again celebrated Johnson's birthday with a carousel of photos on Instagram. In one snap, the two friends sit next to each other as Johnson holds a glass of wine and feeds Timlin's youngest a bottle. "Happy birthday to my best friend in the whole world," the mom of two captioned the post. "We feel each other like the weather and I'm so deeply grateful for it. I love you for the rest of time."

She is open to her kids becoming actors

While promoting her 2019 film When I'm A Moth, in which she played a young fictionalized Hillary Clinton, Timlin appeared on the podcast Popternative and opened up about parenting children in an acting family.

When asked if she imagined her children would become actors, Timlin responded, "They're around it. It's what their parents do. It's what basically all of our friends do. It's hard to imagine that they wouldn't be influenced by that in some way but I also really believe that actors are born."

She continued with some joking quips, "I feel like it's that you're born with a certain instinct to punish yourself or something, so I dunno if it's something I really focus on imagining for them, but you just hope that your kids live in the exercise of their passion whatever it is. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they found themselves wanting to be in this business, but if they weren't that would also be great."

When prompted that many actors do not want their children to get into the family business, Timlin said, "I feel like actors say that [they don't want their kids to become actors] because there is quite a bit of heartache and suffering in the profession, but having said that, there's heartache and suffering in the world no matter what and you just hope you can prepare your kids for the reality of what it is and the best way for you to prepare them for it is that they live with two actors. I hope they can witness the ups and downs and go 'huh, maybe that's not for me.' "

She supported White during their marriage

Timlin and White championed each other's careers throughout their relationship, both with public displays of support and sweet social media posts.

In June 2022, Timlin stood by White's side at the L.A. premiere of The Bear, posing for photos with her husband on the red carpet.

A few days later, Timlin shared a series still of White scrubbing the Chicago sandwich shop floor in The Bear, with the caption, "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 [sic] away. 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."

Her husband responded to her post with, "I love you. Thank you for keeping my head right when things get wobbly. And thanks for always listening."

White also returned the favor a week later with a loving tribute for Timlin's birthday.

On June 29, 2022, the actor posted a photo of Timlin holding their daughter poolside with the caption, "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."

She is seemingly unphased by White's TV heartthrob status

Fans first started to thirst over White as Lip in Shameless. Now, they're head-over-heels for his character, Carmy, on Hulu's The Bear.

PEOPLE asked White how Timlin felt about his status as a TV heartthrob.

"I don't know," he said, laughing. "I think we're both pretty good at not paying too much attention. I'm not on Twitter. I have an Instagram, but I mostly use it for work. I have a pretty healthy distance from it all. And my wife does as well. So, I think that's a good thing."

She filed for divorce from White in May 2023

According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Timlin filed for divorce from White in May 2023. The couple were married for nearly four years.

In July 2023, White was spotted hugging Timlin at their daughter's soccer game in Los Angeles.

"They are still separated, but getting along,” a source told PEOPLE. “They love their children and all spend time together. When she filed for divorce, she was upset. Things have settled a bit."

The insider added that The Bear actor's filming schedule makes things "difficult" for Timlin.

“When Jeremy works, she feels emotionally drained,” the source said. “There is still a lot of love between them though.”

The following month, White was seen kissing Ashley Moore while on a coffee date with the model in Los Angeles. By December 2023, White had moved on and was spotted spending time with singer Rosalía.
