Banerjee spotted alone

A fan spotted Abhijit Banerjee walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of August 30, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Abhijit back on the market?

A rep for Abhijit Banerjee was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the economist was splitting hit the internet Monday (August 31), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Abhijit’s phone number?”

“So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together.”

Based on the facts (Banerjee spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
