Margaret Qualley is living out her marriage dreams with husband Jack Antonoff. The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actress wed the Bleachers singer in August during a seaside ceremony attended by the likes of Taylor Swift, Channing Tatum, Zoë Kravitz, Cara Delevingne, Lana Del Ray and more.

Reflecting on the beginning of their relationship in an interview with Harper's Bazaar published Thursday, Qualley revealed that she had always looked forward to having a family of her own one day, adding that vision became crystal clear when she met Antonoff. 

While in Paris to walk in Virginie Viard's Fall 2021 couture show for Chanel, Qualley wore a wedding dress and even tossed a bouquet into the audience to close the show, she explained, and sent Antonoff various pictures of herself in the gown.  

"I had this huge crush on him," she told the publication, "and it was just like, 'What do you think?'"

A similar opportunity presented itself when the pair met a friend's new baby. "I'm holding the baby, and I'm just like, 'What do you think?'" Qualley recalled.

Antonoff received Qualley's message, as the two eventually promised to share their lives together, which was confirmed in 2022 when the Maid star was spotted sporting a diamond engagement ring. 

However Qualley also revealed in the interview that, while she always looked forward to having a family, meeting Antonoff was the first time she could see herself settling down. 

A few months before the two met, Qualley explained, she didn't care to stay put anywhere; she even noted that she didn't own furniture. 

"I would always have these sh–y little apartments and move around from one place to another with a mattress on the floor and an Ikea lamp," she said. "I never made a home at all."

At the time, Qualley was solely focused on her art and wasn't interested in "investing in that part of my life."

"It's really exciting now to be making a home and to have something to care for," she said now. "I just want to do everything with Jack."

At the time of her Harper's Bazaar interview, Qualley and Antonoff had been residing in a studio apartment while waiting for renovations in their own home to be completed.

"I am so happy that I found my person," Qualley gushed. "And it's real. It's amazing. It's the best feeling in the world. I'm so excited and so at ease all at once."
