Jeremy Allen White had a lot of ‘terribly low lows’ in light of divorce from Addison Timlin
Jeremy Allen White had a roller coaster of a year after his estranged wife Addison Timlin filed for divorce amid the actor’s blossoming fame.
“It’s been insane, ”White, 32, told GQ in an interview published Tuesday when asked how his year has gone.
“A lot of high highs, a lot of terribly low lows,” he added.
The “Bear” star specifically struggled with being in the public eye amid his family drama, recalling when paparazzi staked out his child’s soccer game while he attended with Timlin.
“ ‘Please don’t take pictures of our children. That’s not OK,'” White recalled telling the photographers.
Trying to dissuade the tabloids from printing photos of his private life, White began wearing the same outfit when he stepped out in public.
“Ratty black shirt, Adidas slides, my [Mets] cap I wear every day,” he said, adding that the press “did kind of stop” publishing paparazzi pics of him.
Still, White’s mundane tasks like running errands or going on a jog constantly made headlines.
“They know where I live,” White said. “There was a period where they were just chilling and when I would pull out [of the driveway], they would follow, and when I got home they were there.”
White did admit that there are a few perks about finding Hollywood success.
“Getting a reservation at a restaurant, that’s a good one,” he said, adding that he also is able to call experts while prepping for roles and enjoys run-ins with actors he’s always been a fan of.
White’s jump into stardom coincided with his crumbling marriage. Timlin — who shares daughters Ezer Billie, 5, and Dolores Wild, 2 — with White, filed for divorce in May after just under three years of marriage.
Timlin, 32, then took to social media to slam White and referred to herself as “a single mom” — before editing the post to say she is a “co-parent.”
“It’s so f–king hard. … It’s not the natural order of things. It can be exhausting but more than anything it can just be so lonely,” Timlin wrote on Instagram.
Sources exclusively told Page Sid that the “Shameless” alum was “blindsided” by Timlin’s post.
Friends of the actor told us he did not cheat on Timlin and suggested that his hectic film schedule in Chicago caused tension in their relationship.

Last month, Page Six confirmed that White agreed to alcohol testing as part of his custody agreement with Timlin.
White has seemingly moved on from Timlin and was seen locking lips with model Ashley Moore in August. He also made headlines for thirsting over an underwear photo of Alexa Demie on Instagram, though that was not his intention.
White told GQ that he commented “wow” on the “Euphoria” actress’ lingerie shoot to compliment the photographers, Inez and Vinoodh. When he realized the public was going crazy over his comment, he called his publicist.
“I was like, ‘I just need to shut the f–k up. I just shouldn’t say anything,’” he recalled. “And she was like, ‘Kind of.’”
