Van Halen spotted alone

A fan spotted Alex Van Halen walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of October 22, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Alex back on the market?

A rep for Alex Van Halen was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the musician was splitting hit the internet Friday (October 23), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Alex’s phone number?”

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

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