Ovechkin spotted alone

A fan spotted Alexander Ovechkin walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of May 24, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Alexander back on the market?

A rep for Alexander Ovechkin was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the athlete was splitting hit the internet Monday (May 25), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Alexander’s phone number?”

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

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