Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Akihito, 92, and his partner had split up. Is the Japanese Emperor really single again?
UPDATE 31/10/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Akihito spotted alone
A fan spotted Akihito walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of October 29, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”
Is Akihito back on the market?
A rep for Akihito was not immediately available for comment.
Truth or rumor, when news that the emperor was splitting hit the internet Friday (October 30), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:
“Has anyone Akihito’s phone number?”

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

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