We've heard of throwing yourself an engagement party or a birthday party. But a divorce party? Former White Stripes frontman Jack White and wife Karen Elson are doing just that: celebrating their sixth anniversary of marriage by getting divorced. And they're throwing a joint bash in Nashville, Tenn., this Friday night to honor both landmarks!
According to People, the invite to the party reads: "Karen Elson and Jack White kindly request (your) presence... at a party to celebrate their 6th anniversary, and their upcoming divorce with a positive swing bang humdinger."
The invite also warns, "This is only for close personal friends and family. So please no plus ones or dead beats."
A rep for the couple released a joint statement which reads, in part: "We remain dear and trusted friends and co-parents to our wonderful children Scarlett and Henry Lee. We feel so fortunate for the time we have shared and the time we will continue to spend both separately and together watching our children grow."
The statement goes on: "In honor of that time shared, we are throwing a divorce party. An evening together in Nashville to re-affirm our friendship and celebrate the past and future with close friends and family."
White, 35, and Elson, 32, were married in Brazil in 2005, and live in Nashville with their kids Scarlett, 5, and Henry Lee, 3. White is best known as the frontman for the musical duo The White Stripes, with other ex-wife Meg White comprising the second half of the band. He's recently also been a member of The Raconteurs and The Dead Whether, and dabbled in other musical projects (including Van Lear Rose, his chart-topping collaboration with country music legend Loretta Lynn). Elson, meanwhile, is a musician and model, and manages a clothing boutique in Nashville.
The couple is certainly raising the bar for amicable celebrity divorces!
