Is the 61-year-old comedian officially back on the market?

Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Benoît Poelvoorde, 61, and his partner had split up. Is the comedian best known for his roles in Nothing to Declare, Ball and Chain or Man Bites Dog really single again?

UPDATE 16/07/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Poelvoorde spotted alone

A fan spotted Benoît Poelvoorde walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of July 14, 2026. Was he all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Benoît back on the market?

A rep for Benoît Poelvoorde was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the comedian was splitting hit the internet Wednesday (July 15), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Benoît’s phone number?”

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

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