Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Anatoly Karpov, 73, and his partner had split up. Is the former World Chess Champion really single again?

Karpov spotted alone
A fan spotted Anatoly Karpov walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of February 17, 2025. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”
Is Anatoly back on the market?
A rep for Anatoly Karpov was not immediately available for comment.
Truth or rumor, when news that the chess grandmaster was splitting hit the internet Tuesday (February 18), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:
“Has anyone Anatoly’s phone number?”

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

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