"Jack White has claimed that his ex-partner Meg White &amp;quot;was very uninterested&amp;quot; in The White Stripes. The pair achieved huge crossover success in the 2000s with their garage-rock influenced music, before splitting in February of last year.   Jack told Esquire magazine in an interview that Meg sometimes proved unenthusiastic about the band&amp;#039;s recordings. He said: &amp;quot;In The White Stripes, it was impossible to share the good moments with Meg because she was very uninterested. If something nice happened, it wasn&amp;#039;t like we would hug or have a drink. That wasn&amp;#039;t what went on. &amp;quot;We would record a White Stripes song in the studio and it would be me, Meg and an engineer. So we would finish a mix of a song and I&amp;#039;d say, &amp;#039;Wow! That&amp;#039;s pretty good!&amp;#039; I&amp;#039;d look around and Meg would just be sitting there, and the engineer would just be sitting there. &amp;quot;So it&amp;#039;d be sorta like, &amp;#039;OK... Let&amp;#039;s just move on to the next one&amp;#039;. It was just me by myself. But it was the best thing for me. It taught me a lot about trusting my gut.&amp;quot;  Jack and Meg White, who for many years claimed to be brother and sister, were married for four years before divorcing in 2000. On their relationship, White said: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s strange to know that there&amp;#039;s beautiful moments that no-one will ever know about.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s whether I&amp;#039;m going to tell you, because Meg&amp;#039;s never going to tell you. There&amp;#039;s a sadness to that, a romance.&amp;quot; The singer released his first solo album Blunderbuss earlier in the year, to critical and commercial acclaim.  However, Jack said earlier in the year that he misses The White Stripes and that if he would have been in The White Stripes for the rest of his life if he could.
